An institute of the university in Vienna-Alsergrund was partially evacuated by the fire department on Wednesday morning. The reason was the discovery of a correctly stored bottle containing a chemical that is harmless in liquid form but can explode once it crystallizes - exactly this might have occurred, the fire department reported to the APA.
The emergency services were busy in the morning securing the bottle and then transporting it to safety with a special vehicle. No one was injured.
