A science experiment went awry at the Terry Lee Wells Discovery Museum, creating a chemical flash that injured up to 13 Wednesday in Reno, officials said.

Of those 13, eight children and an adult were transported to Renown Regional Medical Center, the city said in a statement.

Primary injuries include minor burns and minor smoke inhalation, the statement said.

Four people were treated at the scene and released, Reno police officer Tim Broadway said earlier.

Good god, don't they know that hospitals kill a million people a year?

See? This is what happens when people have access to science. That stuff is dangerous and needs to stay locked up safely in biotech, Pharma and munitions factories, WHERE IT BELONGS!
