....in my opinion and experience with most nitrous explosions.....
If he would have quickly opened the hood, the suction would have pulled some of the flame up slightly.....
The extinguisher guy was right there, and a lot of damage could have been prevented.
The Fireball looks worse than it is......it is gas fumes....spray etc burning.
It takes a couple seconds to really start burning stuff up.
My nitrous stuck solenoid incident loaded the motor up with nitrous, then when I turned the key, I actually had 2 fireballs in succession.
No burning was done.....but the hood was up. It blew a lot of stuff apart though.

At first I was like "Is this video in black and white?!?"
Then I saw the explosion and thought "NOPE!"
That guy probably wouldn't have ran if he had his own extinguisher. I have zero nitrous experience but when I cross that brigde I'm getting a bottle of my own.
