Damn!
We used to do that as kids, never had one ignite or explode on us though.
We also used to put fire-crackers and other explosives in neighbors' mailboxes, which prompted one old lady to yell out: "That's a Federal offense, sonny!"
We were real shit-sticks back in the day... lucky we never lost any fingers.
"That tyranny has all the vices both of democracy and oligarchy is evident. As of oligarchy so of tyranny, the end is wealth; (for by wealth only can the tyrant maintain either his guard or his luxury). Both mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms." -- Aristotle, Book V, 350 B.C.E

Back to topic:
Wow. That was a TWO STAGE explosion! The second one was the one that literally ripped his jacket to shreds! It was WEIRD. The plate lifted up and a second fireball sent it into orbit! How does THAT happen? Was it exposure to air? Did the air increase the power of the burn?
To me it looks as if the 2nd explosion was air.... hell IDK. All three were lucky.
While no one ever listens to me,
I am constantly being told to be quiet.
In a world of snowflakes,
be the heat..
That idiot, unknowingly, ingnited a secret Chinese SAM missle silo.
I'm surprised a socialist's paradise like China only had two high-res survelliance cameras aimed at that section of the street.
NYC and London have more...... so what are you saying?
Us kids used to put M-80's into milk machines and laugh our asses off after the bang - milk would start to drain out of the machine!

My guess is that the fuel/air mixture near the manhole cover was rich... creating the low power jet with the orange flame. Then as the flame front traveled AWAY from the point of ignition, the mixture got closer to stoichiometric and the gas pressure and velocity increased (and the flame became invisible) which led to the second more powerful jet.
I'm also guessing that if there was sound we would have heard a howling as the final flame fronts bounced back and forth in the sewer (a Helmholtz oscillation) just like blowing over the neck of a soda bottle.

the third sound would probaby be that of the guy who lit the match shitting his pants.
It could of been as simple as the one sewer they were on igniting with the power of two sewer lines (one going left, one right) then one (or both) of those tubes reaching either a larger tube or multiple tubes that then ignited as well and increased the power of the blast...
I've been wondering why that other man hole cover didn't blow also.
It looks like the lid started to lift with a very small explosion at first. Then, as fresh air was pulled in, the fire really flared and that was what ripped the guy's jacket to shreds.

anyone notice it didn't knock those two kids off their feet or hurt them. They took off like rabbits
Same as a cartridge? First the primer then the powder?
