Fun with autoclaves

Emailed lab people a few days ago to ask how things were going, got this from our postdoc:

I neglected to have the autoclave door shut tightly and filled the hallway up with steam from a [pathogen name deleted] waste run after-hours. The fire department showed up and everything. It was recorded as a big select agent incident - I felt completely stupid. See....see what happens when you desert us?!! (Just kidding.)

One time I neglected to close the big autoclave door properly when I ran it and everybody could hear the horrible whistling noise except me cos I had headphones on *paiseh*
