Yes and you notice they left the white hot graphite crucible on the counter top rather than picking it up with the tongs and placing it on the mold?

They're lucky it wasn't Magnesium or Magalum they were pouring. Making Magalum is popular with the Pyro crowd.


What amazes me is that none of them were burned by the explosion.
