Again, as turtle pointed out, aluminum as most know it is stable and
does NOT burn easily. It will if the right circumstances are in place
I'm not a chemistry wizard, just a dumb fireman. It's my dumb fireman's guess that the explosive shower of sparks was caused by SRS components cooking off like Turtle thought, or possibly magnesium components. Magnesium burns spectacularly, as any firefighter who's attempted to extinguish a burning old-style VW engine block will attest.
Frame 19, look familiar? This is as close as it gets to Bens posted picture.
rjstractor thank you for your service. Be safe out there.
