User ID: 81261678 United States 06/28/2022 10:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It would be interesting to know what kind of dust. Lots of kinds of dust is combustible, flour, popcorn, etc. in the right concentration. Only takes a spark and it is a flash fire . Quoting: rccola They were spraying different colors of some substance to interact with the lights. You can see the cartoon guy with some type of sprayer Mr Samuel Colt |

Airborne wood dust will also flash like gasoline vapor.” At one time there were grain silos that would explode-same for coal mines- those are mostly prevented now with understanding of the cause . . . Like someone said: Fuel- air explosion- The Russians & U.S. have the largest Non-Nuclear Fuel-Air bombs ! Spain is developing some & I am sure the CCP have them . |

Don’t Mess With Texas! User ID: 4524052 United States 06/28/2022 10:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | FOund an article. It was colored corn starch. Quoting: JustmeTX They were using blowers to get it all over the crowd. They believe the source of ignition was the stage lights. [link to www.taipeitimes.com (secure)] Wow, who wants to breathe in colored corn starch, like talcum powder, your lungs get destroyed. Plus, your phone is permanently seared into your palm forever. WTf is wrong with people? Since it happened 7 years ago, hopefully most of the burn injuries healed. ………… For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.….. |

Blow some in the air and then light it with a lighter. Woosh! Quoting: fooz The powdered creamer in MREs makes a nice little flash fire, too.

User ID: 83060044 United States 06/28/2022 11:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | High concentrations of most dust can be flammable, the concentrations required for ignition depend based on substances. Wood dust is obviously very flammable, but even sugar dust can be flammable. In this case it looked like the dust was colored (the animation showed that) and if that’s the case, there would have been coloring (probably paint) with the dust making it more flammable. Side note: breathing that dust in is NOT good for anyone. Especially if there is silica in the dust. That’s just one night, imagine someone who goes to many raves and breathes this stuff in many times in a year. That’s not good exposure. Last Edited by Tanoros on 06/28/2022 11:48 AM |

Good to know if you ever finish a floor. |
