I saw somebody blow off all their fingers on one hand when a solution of hydrazoic acid blew up. Very tragic.

I saw a Mark 48 Torpedo on a live fire exercise hit a target derelict ship. Red fireball, lots of black smoke, went down like a stone in about 5 minutes.

As far as chemistry, I was trying to make a green flame firework. It wasn't lighting so I got frustrated and added a potassium permanganate - magnesium powder, flash mix and lit it without a fuse. Destroyed my lighter, burned my hand pretty bad, singed my facial hair, and was temporarily blind. Don't get hasty, remember safety.
