  Thankfully I have never had an ‘explosion’ in the lab of the kind that you are thinking of, we do try to avoid them… Explosions aren’t always a bad thing (though sometimes they need to be controlled to be useful). For example, explosions power the engine in a typical car, and also cause the airbags in a car to inflate when a car crashes!
