Small Bottle, HUGE Fireball (How Flame Jetting Works)

I've mentioned the dangers of methanol before, often before.

This video isn't specifically about methanol, but it is about flame jetting, a situation similar to the accidental ignition of methanol in many of those lab accidents. In many of those accidents, a bottle of flammable liquid (usually methanol) is poured onto or near an open flame. The fumes from that liquid catch fire and push the rest of the now burning vapors out of the bottle....violently out of the bottle. 

Don't squirt lighter fluid onto an already burning fire.

Don't pour alcohol - drinkable alcohol - onto a burning drink.

Don't mess with methanol at all.
