A student at BYU should have really taken the warning "Do not try this at home" to heart.
BYU police say the student was trying to brew some homemade rocket fuel in his dorm's kitchen when he accidentally set off an explosion, resulting in a massive "fireball."
Campus police and the Provo Fire Department responded to the incident. The police wrote in a statement, "The flames from the explosion had engulfed the walls and ceiling around the stove and the intense heat tripped the fire sprinkler system. Firefighters quickly secured the scene and were able to put out the remnants from the fire."
Thankfully, nobody was injured in the explosion, though 22 dorm residents were displaced due to the flooding, and the cops said the building suffered "extensive damage."
"Please keep your experiments in the lab and supervised by trained professionals," the police said.
