Shoulda been more careful, and also shoulda done it in the lab.

If you could hie to Kolob
In the twinkling of an eye,
And then continue onward
With that same speed to fly,
Do you think that you could ever,
Through all eternity,
Find out the generation
Where Gods began to be?

I really wish people would pull their heads out of their @55es and learn how to film (and take pictures) using LANDSCAPE instead of PORTRAIT.

Probably sugar-potassium nitrate. Melt the sugar in a pan and then add the saltpeter. Used to make it all the time on my parents’ stove. Just gotta be careful.

When I went to college they knew enough to keep us kids away from cooking and instead forced us to eat the horrific (union made) cafeteria ‘food’.

Did a similar thing in high school - was making rocket fuel in the back part of the Chem Lab while class was covering something else and the fuel went up. Burned the countertop and scorched the ceiling - but didn't set off the sprinklers. The room was full of choking smoke and Sister Mary Veronica yelled "Choke to death, all of you - I'll fail every one of you!"
I got a two-day suspension and had to pay for the damage out of my own pocket.
Science.

Sorry, didn’t read down far enough to see someone else had commented along this line. Carry on.

Honestly, I did stupider things myself at that age, just not with explosives in the kitchen.
That said, why hasn't someone told this kid about Estes rockets? They "da bomb", and they're actually quite safe if one is into that kinda stuff.

Hmmmm…. Burn marks on the ceiling. I'd say a fireball is an accurate description.
When I was taking a freshman chemistry lab, a guy I knew in the dorm was in the same class. We were making something, don't remember what, and one step was to evaporate a solvent from a round bottom flask to obtain the purified product at the bottom of the flask
So, the solvent was flammable and a steam bath was used to heat up the solvent. A funnel was clamped upside down above the flask and a vacuum line pulled vapors out of the work area. All good so far.
The dorm guy was impatient so used a bunson burner (open flame) to speed things up. In short order, he was holding a fireball in his hands. It made quite a whomp when he threw the fireball in the lab sink. All this was was going on about 6ft from me where I had my own little work space at the lab bench.
Off the infirmary he went for treating burns mainly to his hand. Never saw the guy again. He was kicked out of the class of course but also disappeared from the dorm. Probably had to drop out to recuperate. Universities are pretty tolerant of doing dumb things.
