Laws of Physics Overturned in Dayton

Comments

DAYTON, OHIO, HAS NOW JOINED THE SELECT FEW of communities around North America where the laws of nature have been overturned and oxygen has been mysteriously transformed into a flammable gas.

On this video report from WDTN-TV Ch.2 in Dayton, the reporter on the scene covering a fire that involved a man who was taking oxygen through a cannula and set his clothes on fire.  He tells us that the firefighters told him that after burning through the cannula, the fire “ignited the oxygen that had gotten free.”

Unsaid was why this oxygen fire didn’t quickly envelop the entire atmosphere that covers Dayton.

    Oxygen is not flamable...it will not burn by itself. However, it is an oxidizer that will rapidly aid the combustion of any flaming material it comes in contact with. I would assume in this case that the increased oxygen in the proximity of the burning cigarette cause it to flame up and in turn then also caused his clothing to flare as well.

    That seems to happen far too often we recently had a patient that burned their face lighting a smoke and forgot they had their oxy on. HMMM
