NITRATE BURN TEST 7-5-2011

This is part of a badly decomposed Universal newsreel from the 1920's. Showing the danger of this highly flammable film. This is only 2 or 3 min. of film.

My father told, when they were kids (in the 50's), they put films to the bottle, used magnifying glass to set the fire and bottles exploded. Some kid even lost his eye.

SAD TO SEE IT BURN AWAY (HOPE THE NEWSREEL WAS PRESERVED?) BUT WHAT A WAY TO GO!!! VERY COOL!!!

celluloid easily can replace black powder.
