This is my exciting story for they day, just thought I would share

I had a final this evening, Social Sciences
and I did not prepare myself sufficiently
so I have my fingers crossed going into this exam
I need somewhat of a miracle to pull of a good grade
so I sit down, start the exam, its not bad, but I am not so sure about 1 of the essays
now this is a 20 point exam (20% of my final grade) and each essay is 5 points
so messing up one essay is not so good
well, just as I am starting my third essay,maybe two scentences into it
I hear this noise
a bit of a crunch
then its like a big crunch
and out of the corner of my eye, I see a ceiling tile fall
on top of a kid
then a bunch of stuff that looks like cement
I am OMGWTFBBQ
then another tile falls
then one of those big metal air ducts just falls down into the room about halfway before it stops
there is dust, this cement looking stuff that turns out to be insulation, and parts of ceiling tiles everywhere!
it was INSANE
everyone is just standing around now, like OMGWTFBBQ, and we go out in the hall. Everyone is OK, we go to another room, and the teacher says. OK, everyone gets 5 points extra for surviving that!
Now that 5 points is tacked onto our score out of 20, so its like +25% to the final test grade
I got my miracle!

Ha! What a great story. I'm glad to hear everyone got out of it alright. :P

Why don't cool things like that ever happen at my school?

Ugh, hope you didn't inhale any of that insulation. First time I've ever heard of that, and my uni was pretty decrepit. Glad to hear you're ok, well done on the timing! (you should go buy yourself a lottery ticket...)

Really. What does barbecue have to do with a building falling down around you?

Redjake

I've heard people use "OMGWTFBBQ" before just to make fun of "OMG" and "WTF" altogether. A parody on those annoying acronyms people use online.

That is an awesome story though

hopefully there was no asbestos or any other contaminants that you folks inhaled during the test. There's you miracle, there's your lotto ticket, stop studying and reading this thread and go get yourself a lawyer and file a frivoulous lawsuit. You may have just won lotto!

or don't and just enjoy your 5 points.

Shit like that can be scary.

In first grade (1970-1971), I was in a small school. It was an older building than most on the base.

One day during class, one of the suspended long lighting fixtures detached from the ceiling and went to the floor. It hit in a space between desks and the wall. No one was hurt, but on another day some would have been.

I'd never seen adults move that fast: they evacuated the building and, I expect, inspected the hell out of it. By the time they let us back in, the light was back on the ceiling.

As this was on an Air Force base, it struck me that they can MOVE when they need to.

I seriously doubt that building is still standing, since the base was turned into a major airport a few years ago, outside of Austin.
