Mystery of the 'popping' floor tiles


NTU student Shawn Huang was working in the laboratory with his friends when they encountered a strange phenomenon - floor tiles that suddenly started popping up and rupturing. This occurred yesterday (5 June) at about 2.30pm.This is Shawn's account of what happened:"This incident happened around 2.30pm today where my group of friends are in the lab doing our project. Two of my friends are chatting when they heard sizzling sound from the ground.



They decided to check the sound out when the tiles just shoot up like plates rupturing. We were so amazed by what's going on and keep staring at the crack for a while before it stops popping.



"Shawn could find no answers to this mystery, but speculated that it might be due to natural factors."What we learn from the lab technicians that this incident has been going on for the past few years yet there is no explanation to what has happened. i think this is the closest we can get to something like an earthquake happening. but we think that the heaty weather plays a part in what happened."
