Water tank sinks through ceiling?

Hey everyone, I just came back from my IELTS test in college. An exhausting 3 hours spent on listening, reading and also writing with the cold weather plus air-con in the examination hall. (College feels like Cameron Highlands today)

As the weather is cold, I've the urge to visit the washroom often and due to exam's regulation, I'm only allowed during certain periods. So, full bladder and slight muscle cramps due to cold weather is not a good combination to take exams in.

The interview session was fun and challenging at the same time, very punctual examiners that stopped or tried to cut me sharp at 15 minutes. (Got stopwatch, sound recorder and protocol one okay)

Speaking of education, I came across a blog that displays pictures of a water tank sinking through the ceiling of a class, possibly endangering the lives of students in that school.

Oklah...actually it was my sister's school, in particular my sister's class.


Smacked right in the centre of the class


The water tank is situated above the students?


Toilet beside the classroom

Imagine this, a water tank suddenly KABOOOM from the classroom ceiling. Luckily no one was hurt and no one was there at the moment.

Situating a water tank right in the middle of the classroom is basically a ticking time bomb waiting to blast. By the way, the place that the water tank landed is actually where my sister sits.

Luckily she wasnt there at the moment, or else I cant imagine what will happen. Couple hundred kilogram's X gravitational acceleration = TONS of impact, enough to kill or severely injure.

Therefore, to those who are reading this still studying in school, make sure no water tank is above you in class!!

I might be blasted like how the water tank blast the ceiling after blogging about this, as it MAY have been covered up (didnt read about it in newspaper). But lets face the reality, it happened already so it might happen again not only at the particular school I mentioned but also at other places, naming not only schools.
