Couldn't anyone tell me what happened in the science block?

All I heard from Triple J radio was that there was an explosion in some science block, due to industrial chemicals meeting air-vapour, which caused a million dollars in damage.

True? Nay?

I heard that there were two explosions. One in the Research Chem Building & then someone lit some lithium in the Bio labs. They just closed all the buildings, and it did smell pretty bad. But the explosions were not the big.
