Dec. 2, 2011
Dec. 02--Dane Neuberger was front and center when the classroom science experiment blew up, setting his face on fire. "I was on fire," said 15-year-old Neuberger, who is being treated at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis for second-degree burns to his face, neck and right hand. "People were screaming, and everyone just ran out." Three other students treated for burns at the hospital were released.
