Yup. Caused minor PTSD in the actors and I was one of them. A bunch of students still drove drunk though...

This never happened at my school. The school news channel did do a special on it after someone died from texting tho
We only had fire drills, where we had to casually follow our teacher outside, stand at the collection spot for ~10min, and then go back in and continue the lesson.
Besides the two times where the canteen burnt the lunch so bad the alarms went off, we once had a suspected bomb alarm during uni where we were told to stay away for a few days while investigations were on, the ones who didn't need any of the instruments anyway. Turns out it was some depressed tween who made joke on reddit or tumblr about wanting to bomb the place.
Good times.
Another funny story -- aside from the fire drills, we once had to evacuate an entire wing of the school because we were testing the energy released by various things (peanuts, paraffin, methylated spirits etc) by setting them on fire and seeing how long it took them to heat up some water to 100 degrees.
It was going fine, until we tried burning 25ml of paraffin, and someone set fire to the curtains in the lab. One moment there was a small pool of paraffin, next moment FIRE RAGING ON THE CURTAINS and the fire alarm ringing throughout the building.
That was quite entertaining.
(I haven't even told you the story about the science teacher who cracked the plexiglass screen. You know the big thick screen they put up in front of "dangerous" experiments to protect the students?
Well the chemistry teacher was doing an experiment with fire and gunpowder and I think he mismeasured the amount he put in, because there was a flame and an explosion and the screen that was supposed to absorb the explosion and protect the students........... not so much -- it cracked and split in two. It didn't shatter but it wasn't entirely useful after that and the class ended a lot earlier than we were expecting.

We had an assembly about drunk driving that had a mock scene with a car on the football field.
Then a guy gave a speech about him killing two people while drunk driving and how badly it's affected his life. He made a joke about his school's football team beating ours in the championship that year which incited my friend to scream "MURDERER!" at the top of his tongues
We didn't have that but George Stroumboulopoulos came and told us not to do drugs
They did it at my school
