i almost died sunday...
i was in the bath reading, and i had a few candles lit
2 were small silver metalic candles in small metal holders
i looked up from reading for about 30 minutes and noticed something strange....
the 2 small candles had burned all the wick away and were burning off the wax
they looked like small torches.
i tried blowing them out
that didn't work
so i flicked some water on them, AND.............
a HUGE fire ball shot up and exploded in the air, it looked like the atomic bomb without the mushroom cloud.
it was SO scary, so i finally smothered the "torches"
and the wax started bubbling. so i again tried putting water in them, and this time......
they started sparking, and bubbling and wax was flying everywhere and landing on my legs scorching me.
so i SCREAMED AND JUMPED OUT of the bath....
the damage a tiny candle can do.
