Popcorn in a pop can 14-year-old girl with severe burns is too scary

4hw.com.cn: on August 22, when two girls in Zaozhuang, Shandong were imitating a short video of 'pop can homemade Popcorn', they unfortunately exploded, resulting in a 14-year-old girl with a total body burn area of 96%, and her life was in danger. Beijing Youth Daily reporter found that many platforms have similar homemade videos, and most of them have no relevant safety tips.

On the afternoon of August 22, Zhou Zhe, a 14-year-old girl from liangxinzhuang village, Yong'an Township, Central District, Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province, went to his neighbor Peng Xiangyu's house to play. When they watched a short video on their mobile phone, they found that a blogger was teaching how to make popcorn with a pop can.

In this 15 second video, a woman puts a cut can on an iron shelf, puts corn and butter in it, and heats it with an alcohol lamp. The corn is heated and expanded, and popcorn jumps out of the can.

The two girls were attracted by the simple materials and convenient manufacture. So they found the materials mentioned in the video at home and began the experiment of homemade popcorn. However, later, according to Peng Xiangyu, who was slightly injured, after they lit the alcohol for the first time, the corn did not turn into popcorn. Before the fire was extinguished, the two poured alcohol into the can, which eventually led to the explosion.

Zhou Zhe and Peng Xiangyu were injured in varying degrees due to the explosion. Zhou Zhe's burn area was as high as 96%, which was diagnosed as extremely severe burn by the hospital. At present, they are still receiving treatment in ICU and are not out of danger. Zhou Zhe's sister Zhou Jing (a pseudonym) told the Beiqing daily that the early treatment has cost about 100000 yuan, and there is still a big gap in the follow-up medical expenses. At present, the family members have launched fund-raising on the fund-raising platform.

Beiqing Daily reporter found that Zhou Zhe's original imitation video has been taken off the shelf. On this platform, we can't find similar videos by searching with the keyword 'pop can Popcorn'.

Minors should stay away from alcohol and other flammable liquids

Zhou Jing told the Beiqing daily that because there were no safety tips in the video, the two girls used a barrel of alcohol weighing about 2 kg, with a concentration of more than 90%.

A professional in the field of fire protection told the Beiqing daily that according to the information provided by the on-site video and family members, it is difficult to put out the fire in this case. If there is a fire blanket at home and cover it on the child as soon as possible, the fire extinguishing effect will be better.
