Crystallized Chemical at Vienna University Could Explode

The reason was the discovery of a properly stored bottle with a chemical that is harmless in liquid form but can explode once it crystallizes - exactly this might have occurred, the fire department reported to APA. The operation was concluded by noon.

The forces of the Vienna professional fire department secured the bottle during the operation and then brought it to safety with a special vehicle. No one was injured.
