This Chemical Burned A Hole Through The First Floor!

[@doodlebob2674]

My theory: Here’s the thing. Matt has said that the previous tenants of the base had labs set up and were doing different experiments with a bunch of weird equipment. what if the guy who tried to break in was one of the people who worked there and was using their equipment to make something illegal or dangerous and that’s why he locked it in a safe and hid it in the ceiling. he wouldn’t have wanted to hide it at his house/ apartment/ car/etc. cause then it could easily be tracked to him. but if he hid it in the base it’s much harder to trace. this would also be why he would’ve wanted to break in because if he was using matt’s videos to keep tabs on the safe he would’ve known that they found the safe and were trying to open it. but if he broke in and stole it then he would’ve gotten the safe along with the illegal and/or dangerous substance before anyone else got to it first. what do y’all think?

Acetone peroxide could be what’s in the safe. 1. It can burn through wood, carpet, and PLASTIC. 2. It can dry out skin. 3. It’s highly sensitive to friction, actually ten times more sensitive than nitroglycerin. 4. It’s highly flammable. 5. It also can’t dissolve metal, so the safe would be a good place to keep it. 6. It is light yellow in its most common liquid form (which is paint stripper for strictly metal so it doesn’t catch anything on fire) I know Matt hates it when people do this but i only have his best interest at heart and I want him to see this so please like.

The chemical that is in the safe could be a chemical called Chlorine Trifluoride. Chlorine Trifluoride is an interhalogen compound, it is a colorless, poisonous, corrosive and is extremely reactive. The chemical in its liquid state is able to catch fire with minimum friction and is also able to catch fire to materials that are already burned like ash. If Chlorine Trifluoride is left in its liquid form it has the abilities to melt through something as strong as concrete but is not as corrosive to metals. Instead of melting through metal in hours or days like other materials, it takes many years which could explain why the container does not have a hole in the bottom like the plastic.

This is coming from a 4 year fire fighter vet. The sprinkler that you have is blocked by a glass tube filled with a glycerin based substance or they have what looks a metal gap of a spark plug. More often than not the temperature rating on the glass is 155°- 180° due to the size of your building. You are correct if one sprinkler goes off the rest are designed to go off but there are times that you can get lucky and only have that one go off. Regardless if 1 or 20 go off, it will drain the entire sprinkler system of the building which depending on the size of your building can be 100s up to 1000 gallons. If you are there at any point that a sprinkler system accidentally goes off you can go to the back of the building and find the valves labeled FDC ( you can't miss them due to the audible bell, think of an old school bell or alarm clock , will be ringing constantly due to the drop in pressure in the sprinkler line ) and turn the valve to the off position ( it will have an open/close indicator on the front facing of the valve ). Also my 7 years of being a truck and having to have a very good understanding of the hazardous materials index tells me that you are dealing with a level 1 corrosive ( specifically look up the category corrosive bases organic/caustic ) in that safe. If you go to any loves, TA center or any truck stop really you can pick up a 2020 copy of the Hazardous Materials Guidelines book ( they are updated every four years ). WITHOUT touching the liquid you can begin to try to identify the liquid via smell and appearance as well as its reaction with the rag ( that being the caustic aspect of its nature, it generated enough heat from the some reaction on the rag to cause the rag to combust ). What ever you do get the authority evolved due to its volatile nature and in all honesty there may be a very slight chance the epa could get involved. I just wanted to share my knowledge with you but in no way alarm you.

Woods's energy throughout this entire saga is my entire thought process. Everything is completely rational yet not one wants to believe you, until you end up right, and when you do, you laugh hysterically at the stupid things because you've lost your mind and your boss can't put a glove on.

[@tortilla1237]

Matt you need to listen. I think I know what that liquid is, it is concentrated sulfuric acid. It spontaneously combusts when it is touched by different types of natural materials (the rag). It also gives off toxic fumes (the smell in Sam’s office). This acid depending on the concentration level can melt through metal. I looked up what exactly the chemical is used for many different normal things like perfume but is also used for drugs, and explosives. This acid appears clear on brown items (your flooring). You need to open the safe in a controlled environment to make sure that no one will get hurt and find out what is in that safe.

So for the acid. Ive done a bit of research and I want to guess its either Sulfuric or Nitric acid in the safe. Both come in a colourless option, can have a odder to them and are highly acidic. as for flammability, neither are flammable on their own but have strong reactions with other chemicals and the heat often causes fires. My theory on the fire is that the rag Woods used had some sort of residue left on it from a previous clean up that had a strong reaction to either chemical, the heat lit the rag on fire and because the rag is flammable (and the floor isn't, Linoleum doesn't catch fire that easily and neither would most plastic based flooring ) the fire continued to burn. sadly i think both could melt through the floor, both are acidic enough to eat through metals and CAN be made at home, though i THINK Nitric acid might be easier?? Sorry I don't make acid in my spare time. if these aren't the acids there are a few key characteristics I do think we are looking for. 1) obviously something acidic that can melt through most material both natural and man made. 2) Instead of something that is flammable look for highly reactive chemicals, the liquid didn't light fire till the rag was placed on it so the most likely reason it combusted was a reaction rather then friction. 3) Not sure this is worth mentioning but the chemical has to be able to be put out by the type of fire extinguisher they own. Not all fires can be put out by a foam fire extinguisher so its worth considering. 4) Lastly it cant be a chamisal that's overly hard to obtain and store. Chances are the person looking to protect the goods in the safe didn't do a lot of research, they didn't care about all this info, they just needed something that would get the job done, and we don't know how long it was stored up there, so it cant be a time or temperature sensitive chemical. Like i said i don't know a whole lot on chemicals, im just a very curious person that learns random info on my spare time so sadly i cant perfectly identify it, but hope this is a good place to start for others. I also have a small theory as for why its there. I think the safe contains something that is tied to something less then desirable, I don't want to go guessing as to what it might be but i do fear whatever was in the safe didn't make it. I think the Acid was placed in the safe in a glass container, that way if opened properly it wouldn't break but if someone tried to break in it would shatter, destroying both what's in the safe and possibly harming whoever messed with it. I'm sure this is going to go unseen but i wanted to say my theory. I love a good mystery cx

[@cjtofive1288]

As far as the fire extinguisher, I know from my safety class that you have different types of extinguishers, they are categorized by A, B, and C, most commonly you find ABC around where I live, now A is for like wood fires, B is for chemical fires and C is for electrical fires. Now the one Kevin uses looks like an ABC fire extinguisher so it can be used for almost anything, as far as I know there is very few types of chemicals that can't be put out with that type of fire extinguisher. Now I do believe that if you happen to work in a place that works with chemicals you will have mainly B type extinguishers. Because they tend to be able to handle almost all chemical fires. But considering what looks like an ABC fire extinguisher put it out I think it would have to be more of a common chemical or atleast one known across most places. But love the research you did, it all seems very thorough. Just wanted to clarify somethings and who knows someone thats a perfressional with fire extinguishers could probably disprove me which I'm open to, I'd rather be corrected for the future instead of continuing to spread anything false. But good work.

Since Hi5 studios used to be a lab, I did research on what acid this could probably be and I found a possible answer. One acid that could melt and go through anything is Hydrofluoric acid. This acid is mostly made or stored in Labs and this acid could go through just about anything. Since Hi5 used to be a lab, the people before probably left the acid in the safe and hid it from being found. This acid is also known to be flammable.

[@catrook8146]

The only problem with that is that Hydrofluoric acid causes deep burns when it touches skin and this stuff didn't do that.

[@spartanbob1729]

Hydrochloric acid dose not go through plastic

[@jamiecurtiss]

And it melts metal as far as i read

[@gator_productions]

Ok but why would they put it in a safe 🤔

[@jamiecurtiss]

Maybe its a special type of acid because as far as i search alot of acid cant melt plastic because plastic is made with something that acid cant melt unless its had to to be thick plastic that keeps it from melting i wish that i was more focus on chem class it would probably helped lol plus it use to be a lab so honestly it could be any type of acid

I'm sticking with what I said last time. It's a capsule in the safe that breaks open to destroy the content if the safe is not opened in the correct way. Sam dropping it, cracked open the capsule too soon. So maybe she has unknowingly saved the contents. If people are breaking into the base it means that they are on to something. It may not be about the book Matthias was writing. I take that back. Or not. We now see it's some kind of acid that could easily destroy a data holding device or anything else. Since it doesn't affect metal, it's not to destroy a possible gun. So there may be something way more valuable in that safe. I wouldn't be surprised though if the authorities are involved and it's way above their heads and at the end of the year, we hear nothing about it ever again...

[@axeclimberyay1767]

I think he already had a notification saying it was notebook with code they found inside the safe , and if the cloth got up in fire doesnt it make kinda suspicious for leaving it on a plastic box, its a well written script, it can be literally even paint thinner that could harm soft plastic.

The weird substance could be one of these: Carbon Monoxide: Colorless, odorless, heavier than air gas that does not burn or support combustion. Hydrogen fluoride : Hydrogen fluoride, anhydrous appears as a colorless fuming liquid boiling at 67°F. Shipped as a liquid confined under its own vapor pressure. Corrosive to metals and tissue. Very short contact with fumes or small quantities of the liquid can cause severe, painful burns. Vapors are heavier than air. Density 8.2 lb / gal. Used as a catalyst and raw material in chemical manufacture. Rate of onset: Immediate & Delayed Persistence: Minutes to hours Odor threshold: 0.4 ppm Source/use/another hazard: Aluminum and other metal industries; insecticide manufacturing-corrosive Liq. Although it says it can burn through some medals, the safe could be some mixture of medals and another substance. Sulfuric acid: Sulfuric acid is a colorless oily liquid. It is soluble in water with the release of heat. It is corrosive to metals and tissue. It will char wood and most other organic matter on contact but is unlikely to cause a fire. Density 15 lb / gal. Long term exposure to low concentrations or short term exposure to high concentrations can result in adverse health effects from inhalation. It is used to make fertilizers and other chemicals, in petroleum refining, in iron and steel production, and for many other uses. Rate of onset: Immediate Persistence: Hours, days Odor threshold: Source/use/another hazard: Battery/dyes/paper/glue/metals industries; volcanic gas; toxic fumes when heated. Diesel fuel: Diesel fuel, in general, is any liquid fuel used in diesel engines, whose fuel ignition takes place, without any spark, as a result of compression of the inlet air mixture and then injection of fuel. Diesel engines have found broad use as a result of higher thermodynamic efficiency and thus fuel efficiency. Fuel oil: Fuel oil (also known as heavy oil, marine fuel, or furnace oil) is a fraction obtained from petroleum distillation, either as a distillate or a residue. ... Fuel oil is made of long hydrocarbon chains, particularly alkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatics. Kerosene: Kerosene, also known as paraffin, lamp oil, and coal oil, is a combustible hydrocarbon liquid that is derived from petroleum. It is widely used as a fuel in aviation as well as households. Theory about the rag: The most common type of Spontaneous Combustion fires is those caused by improperly disposed of oil and stain soaked rags. Examples of these products are oil-based paints and stains, teak and linseed oils, varnishes and polyurethane, paint thinners, etc. When fuel (a combustible substance like oil or grease in a flammable material like towels) comes into contact with oxygen in the air (oxidation), heat is generated. When this rise in temperature is not halted, the combustible material i.e. the towel eventually reaches its ignition point and bursts into flames. This might not be true since the rag wasn't soaked in some sort of substance. But the weird substance coming from the safe could be some type of flammable gas that could lightable with cotton or a rag. Could have just been a reaction between the two, but Woods was off-camera when he was wiping it so he could have just pulled out a lighter and this could all just be an act but I believe it's not. I hope this helped you guys. Edit: Thanks for all the comments and I know I might be wrong but they were just theory’s.

Actually I was researching after the video the chemical isn’t any of them it’s pyrophoricity if you look it up it spontaneously catches fires at lower temperature which we all know at night time the temperature goes down so that’s when it cause a flame but also you were going to ask but how did the rag catch fire it caught fire cause of friction it has to be at a certain temperature to be stable so if it drops below 54 degrees it combusts but if it’s over it’s normal temperature it will catch a flame also

Matt- I did some digging on the issue with the safe and the lovely hole that now sits in Sams office. This is what I came up with If you really want to burn holes in the floor, forget acids and go straight for interhalogen compounds…specifically, the delightful brew known as Chlorine Trifluoride. Chlorine trifluoride, ClF3, or “CTF” as the engineers insist on calling it, is a colorless gas, a greenish liquid, or a white solid. I also think with the safe being dropped there is a high possibly the chemicals could have reacted with each other if there was more then one in the safe. Here is the other possibility The principal classes of chemicals that have some type of degrading action on wood are: Strong mineral acids (generally pH less than 2): Acid hydrolysis occurs, forming a quantity of mixed sugars. These treatments will essentially destroy the wood over a period of time. Concentrated nitric acid may cause ignition. Hope this is helpful. Stay safe my dude! Also it’s time to get Security for your building!

[@bmoore1908]

That compound is extremely flammable it can even set fire to glass and sand because it is more oxidizing than oxygen it would have set the entire area where the liquid spilled on fire not just that rag
