Description
February 10, 1957, while James Jay, a third-year chemistry student at Walla Walla College, was conducting an authorized experiment in the analytical laboratory in the basement of the college chemistry building, he heard the sound of a small explosion in the organic laboratory across the hall. He entered that laboratory and saw two students attempting to quench the flames of a fire with a fire extinguisher. Jay picked up an extinguisher lying on the floor in the hallway, re-entered the room, and attempted to use the extinguisher on the fire, but the extinguisher was empty. While Jay was attempting to use the empty extinguisher, a violent explosion from the materials used in the experiment occurred directly in front of him. The explosion was heard several blocks way, and was of such force that most of the windows in the brick veneer building were broken. The three persons in the room were injured by flying fragments of glass. The retina of Jay's left eye was punctured and required surgery.
