Seems like a bit of a panic reaction to an overheated workman's drill.


I'm guessing it was a battery drill in a bag and something shorted causing a
lot of smoke. Perhaps they thought it was some sort of terrorist attack? o
Though looking at the tweets and pictures it seems to be a train load of
generation snowflake so no further explanation as to the panic required.
