Graduation day 2:2 hot for students

Graduation day /Europics

Students have been criticised in China - for celebrating their graduation day as a huge blaze broke out at their college.

The students - from Dalian, Liaoning province, northern China - had to flee when the fire broke out in a storage warehouse beside their dormitory during the event.

Graduation snaps taken on the day show the smiling students grinning as what looks like their college goes up in smoke behind them.

Angry college officials later uploaded pictures onto the college website showing students tackling the blaze with super-soakers.

"They show the true spirit of the college. Our students shouldn't be celebrating destruction," explained one.

Just because the college catches fire is no reason not to celebrate graduation.

False and Inaccurate - The college is not on fire it was a storage unit NEAR their factory! Why were their college officials angry? They were not celebrating destruction but their sucess. WELL DONE TO ALL IN PHOTO!

Well done to all of them. Over reaction from the college officials as their building was not on fire.
