Thanks, thackney. Someone had mentioned an acetylene transfer facility there and mentioned acetone, too. I was just showing why the two would be together in such a mess, and why acetylene is particularly tricky to deal with.

If that wasn't involved, nevermind (it is still good to be aware of--acetylene is easier to ignite/explode than anything but hydrogen).

Gasoline will give results like that, too, and the streamers could well be ruptured drums blown into the air trailing fire.
