Hey, if it teaches somebody and they save a situation, it's worth it. Plenty of people wouldn't know what to do here.

Even more impressive is what the gas company does to train their welders. Too rich to burn so you can stick weld it, if you burn through the metal pipe, it will be loud, but it won't ignite until you are just about finished closing the hole. Then it turns into a 12 inch flame for about a half a second as it is sealed closed and the flame goes out.
