Jitway Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Ya I saw this. Anyone get hurt? And the key ingredient in alcohol that you drink is sugar. Sugar ferments and is flammable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucandrake Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I can't imagine sugar being flamable.... it's like trying to light a rock on fire in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tynvar Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Wow sounds terrible. It's weird how most of us would never imagine working at a place like that dangerous. Then things change in a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skythe Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 I'm gonna head back over there around 8 in the morning. No telling how long I'll be there. Hopefully not a full day again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
