The invisible methanol fire at the 1981 Indianapolis 500

Methanol Fire explained

So maybe Ricky Bobby wasn't so out of his mind after all?

Just imagine the fear those went through. You know if you do nothing you'll die, but you can't see it.

Let the ministry of Jesus Christ of Nazareth be null, n WORTHLESS before ALL spirits associated with ALL FORMER CHURCHES ELISE OYINKROMEINEIFA ATTENDED N from Satan be around, IN HER BABIES' AMNIOTIC FLUIDS EVEN 0.1% ever in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth u900gtefsfbaiCnYH

Everyone’s thinking the same thing.

The Ricky Bobby Story

Do you know methanol burns with a nearly invisible flame in daylight because it combusts at a lower temperature, producing mostly water vapor and CO2 with little soot. The flame emits light mostly in the UV spectrum, which isn't visible to us, making it hard to detect. Post-1981 Indy 500, safety measures like improved fuel systems and heat sensors were introduced.

For more context, watch this. I didn't know something like this exists but this guy explains it well.

That’s terrifying

A methanol fire is dangerous because it burns with a flame that’s hard to see. You might not notice it, but it’s still very hot! They are using dry powder extinguishers.
