Reminds me of an incident with Bacardi 151. I was much younger.

An update to the timeless classic:
My chemistry teacher did a demo.
But sadly had no clue,
That what he thought was H2O,
Was Hg(CNO)2.

In my HS Chemistry class, the teacher demonstrated that potassium explodes in water. After the explosion the purplish- looking cloud set off the fire alarms. The buildings had to be evacuated and the FD called in.

This sounds like an accident, but that teacher will never live this down. She many need to change school districts if not leave the state. I would be concerned if my child was sitting in her chemistry class.

I remember. . . way back in 6th or 7th grade, the Science teacher poured a test tube full of purple Potassium Permanganate crystals into a beaker half-full of glycerin.
In about thirty seconds, there was a 10-foot or so pillar of fire coming out of the beaker, lasted 15-20 seconds. . .

Willie was a scientist
Willie is no more
Because what Willie thought was H2O
Was H2SO4
To: Salgak
You can put that stuff in ethylene glycol and it’ll do the same.

That's the classic original. Although I heard it as:
My Chem teacher took a drink,
But now will drink no more.
For what he thought was H2O,
Was H2SO4.

Our best and brightest obviously don’t go into teaching anymore.

The article ends with noting the school’s reputation and ‘among its graduates’ new Mayor DeBlasio’s daughter, Chiara. Is she the one who recently spoke of her addiction to drugs?

Fire balls.

So, the U.S. Forest Service is increasingly relying on a much safer, more cost-effective strategy. Rangers use aerial ignition devices which are plastic ping-pong balls filled with highly flammable potassium permanganate. Loaded into a helicopter dispenser, the little balls are injected with antifreeze just before they’re dropped into the targeted area.
