Somehow I've missed this episode. Quite impressive  8)

Very nice. I've been reading in some engineering texts about how this happened in the basement of a high-rise building in America, and the heater rocket managed to break open some gas pipes. Subsequently the building burnt down, so it's not just a case of myth at all!

Neeeeeeat XD
I'm surprised the glass stayed intact. It did fall almost a metre.
