Fire Extinguisher Explosion at Bangkok High School Fire Drill Kills Student and Injures Others

A student was killed and five others were injured when a fire extinguisher exploded during a fire drill at Rajavinit Mathayom high school in Bangkok, Thailand.
The fire extinguisher sent metal scraps flying, one of which struck a student in the chest and killed him.
Three people may face charges for negligence in connection with the incident.
The explosion is believed to have occurred due to the fire extinguisher overheating or exposure to the sun.
The high school had not conducted a fire drill in six years; this drill was organized by Bangkok's fire department.
