The Great Sulfuric Acid Spill of 2023

Caused by Incompetent Chemist, Reginald P. Bottomsworth

On a fateful day in April 2023, Reginald P. Bottomsworth, a well-meaning but hapless chemist, attempted to mix a batch of sulfuric acid in the laboratory of the prestigious Bottomsworth Institute of Science. Unfortunately, he got the proportions wrong, and a massive spill of sulfuric acid engulfed the city, leaving a trail of destruction and despair in its wake.

Aftermath

The spill, which lasted for several hours, caused widespread panic and chaos, with citizens fleeing in terror as the acid ate through the city's infrastructure.

The city's water supply was contaminated, and the local wildlife was decimated.

Culprits

Reginald P. Bottomsworth was later found guilty of gross negligence and incompetence, and was forced to resign from his position as head of the Bottomsworth Institute of Science.

A memorial was erected in his honor, but it was later torn down due to the stench of sulfuric acid still lingering in the air.

Subsequent Developments

Since the spill, the city has implemented stricter safety protocols and regulations in the laboratory, including mandatory hazmat suits for all researchers.

Reginald P. Bottomsworth has gone on to become a successful motivational speaker, traveling the world telling tales of his "accidental" achievements.
