Why is hydrogen so explosive? At room temperature, hydrogen is a highly flammable colourless, tasteless, odourless gas.It is incredibly hard to detect and can ignite suddenly and without warning.It is not toxic but in its pure form can deprive you of oxygen with fatal consequences.Famously, the Hindenburg airship was destroyed in 32 seconds after the hydrogen it was inflated with ignited, killing 35. However, it can ignite easily if it comes into contact with sparks, flames, or candles, making them a potential fire hazard.It comes after in 2018 a birthday girl was set on fire by hydrogen balloons at her party and suffers horrific burns.Startling footage emerged of the balloons exploding, engulfing the girl and her friends in flames as she lights the candles on her birthday cake.The incident took place in India and the video was circulated on social media.The footage was originally published on Facebook by the birthday girl's friend - who filmed the nightmarish episode on his mobile phone.Photos revealed the girl - who is believed to be a teenager - suffered horrific burns across her arms after the fire.Many countries have banned the use of hydrogen in balloons, the UK outlawed it in 1914, because the gas is so flammable. The clip begins showing the birthday girl lighting a candle on her cake at her party - while a group of friends crowd around the table and snap photos on their phone.The girl - who is wearing a pale blue dress and has a distinctive tattoo on the inside of her left arm - is surrounded by dozens of pink and black hydrogen balloons as she lights her cake with a match.However as she lights her cake, the candle bursts into flames and and the hydrogen-filled balloons around her explode.Screams can be heard as a huge fireball fills the room and the birthday girl is engulfed by the flames.
