Jillian Linnear P.8 | Teenage boy killed in a school science experiment

Two students from Thousand Oaks High School were injured from a science experiment, one of which died at the hospital later that same night. The students were in an elementary school parking lot trying to perfect a home-made rocket for their AP science class when their device didn't go off. As Bernard Moon, the 18-year-old who passed away, went to check the experiment it went off and the two of them were both horribly injured. They were both rushed to the hospital, where Bernard Moon died and his partner was left in critical condition. Their community held a memorial for Bernard the next day at a nearby church. Bernard placed in several of science competitions and his friends say that they are happy that he at least died doing what he loved. This article was written to pay tribute to another brilliant mind the world lost today.
