A shocking video shows the moment a 19-year-old nearly caused a house fire when he tried to clean the dust out of his computer.
Huseyin Maybarskan, Nicole Gerrard’s 19-year-old boyfriend from Liverpool, sent her a video demonstrating how pleasurable it was to remove the dust from his computer.
This ordinarily risk-free practice became hazardous when a bare flame ignited the compressed air he was using.
Huseyin had forgotten that a neighboring candle was still lit, and when he went to clean the computer fan, the candle caught the dust particles in its flame and exploded towards his palm.
Huseyin suffered only a little burn, and nothing else was injured.
Huseyin Maybarskan, 19, was making a video to demonstrate to his fiancée how enjoyable it was to dust his computer.
He forgot he had a bare candle flame in his room, which ignited when he used compressed air.
When the first shock dissipated, he sent Nicole the video and the two of them stated they chuckled at the occurrence, relieved that no property was broken.
They continued, “The side candle caused the computer fan’s vapors to spin around.”
The fan blew it around the room, causing it to collide with the candle and nearly ignite the room.
