Two pharmaceutical students at the University of Indonesia
(UI) were badly injured after a laboratory explosion on Monday morning.
The spokeswoman of UI's Pharmaceutical School, Devfanny
Aprilia Artha, said the blast occurred at about 10:30 a.m.
She said 15 people were injured in the explosion and had
been taken to hospitals for treatment.
"Two students who were badly wounded were initially
being treated at Bunda Hospital," she said as quoted by kompas.com.
However, the students had been transferred to Mitra Keluarga
Hospital and an eye clinic. The remaining 13 had been released because they
were only lightly injured.
Devfanny said the explosion took place when students of the
2013 class and their lecturers, a total of 70 people, were taking part in a
qualitative practicum at the Pharmaceutical Qualitative Analysis Chemical
Laboratory.
Hope they all learn their chemistry before they go out in
public. Otherwise we are in trouble.
