Mystery & melodrama

A water pipe exploded in the Donovan Dining Center around 11 p.m. Thursday night. Shortly after both campus police and Providence police and fire personal arrived. Students, Shannon Carlson and Tom Lima, were on campus shortly after the burst. Carlson quickly live tweeted the event, including a picture of the back entrance to Donovan. “We didn’t know what was going on at first when we got back from the RIC hockey game. Tom Lima ran inside to investigate while I started calling security, [who] pulled up,” Carlson said. “I pulled all the equipment into the [Student Union]. Four fire trucks showed up while we watched nearby.” Carlson mentioned how water could be seen on the steps and puddled in front of the Student Union. When she arrived, she tweeted what she

was seeing. “…steam pipe burst in the don. Steam everywhere and water running down the steps…” In another tweet, Carlson said, “…I believe it was a steam pipe burst. Can’t be confirmed though I was one of the first to see it.” While the burst pipe caused water to be expelled through the building and into the outlying area, the dining room was open the next day for normal services, with little to show in the way of damage. “We could only use the door on the right. The other door was blocked by trash cans. But other than that, everything looked okay,” said student Ty Dugan. Lieutenant Wilson of RIC Campus Police offered some information regarding the water pipe, stating that a crew had begun working on the busted pipe, but was unable provide an estimated time table for the project’s completion.
