This month in...Saturday 13 May 2000 is etched into the memories of many University of Twente staff, students and alumni. On that date, 20 years ago, the fireworks factory of SE Fireworks, located in the middle of the neighbourhood Roombeek, exploded. The explosion is one of the biggest disasters in The Netherlands: twenty-three people pass away and nearly 950 people get (severely) wounded. None of the victims are student or employee at UT, but more than fifty students and seventeen employees lose their home and all of their posessions. The disaster has a strong impact on campus life: all UT activities are cancelled and victims reside in the guest lodges.Read more
