BendiNewsTest: Chinese fire drill goes horribly wrong, 193 students land in the hospital

Hi,

This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.

Thanks

Chinese fire drill goes horribly wrong, 193 students land in the hospital

There are a lot of jokes to be made about Chinese fire drills, but this isn’t one of them. At a middle school in northwest China, a fire and air raid drill that included realistic smoke machines went wrong, and 193 students ended up in the hospital. Among those, nine are reportedly in critical condition. The machines that generated the artificial smoke went haywire and produced too much smoke, causing fainting, vomiting, coughing, and breathing problems.
