Science Project or a Bomb?
Although I usually write about good science fair projects, this story caught my interest. It’s certainly a situation you do not want happening to you.
A school science project caused fear and panic on a New York City subway train when the electronics short-circuited and began smoking. The science project, carried inside a backpack, was a model of an elevator and contained a battery, wires and a motor. Even though the engineering student tried to reassure his fellow passengers that it was not a bomb, people panicked and fled as he tried to disassemble the model. Police questioned and released the student, who apologized for scaring everyone.
