Insecticide can sparks flat fire

KUWAIT CITY: Two Indian women were killed and another seriously injured when a fire broke out in their fourth floor apartment in Salmiya. Alerted by the Operations Room of the Interior Ministry securitymen from Salmiya Police Station and firemen rushed to the spot and put out the fire. All the furniture in the apartment was gutted. A witness said an insecticide can, which was being used by one of the women, exploded when she accidentally sprayed a TV. The two corpses were referred to Forensics while the injured woman was admitted to the intensive care unit of the Mubarak Hospital.

That is common sense, when you have static electricity and then you spary aerosol on it, it will ignite, so I am not surprised that happened.

When I was young, I used to love the way the static from the T.V. would feel on my face!

Ok, but that does not mean you would go spray aerosol on it.

why not?
you'll find below what my mother would have blogged.

I was blow drying my hair, but this time my daughter was not muffling about in my closet, trying on my boots and playing with my belts. She likes to treasure hunt in my bedroom, it was her thing.
She was not finding the things I hide from her, nor was she bouncing herself into trouble on my bed. My daughter was unusually quiet, she must be indulging in some mischief, so I tip toe into her room only to find my baby on the floor next to her electrical organ, pale as a ghost. I look around for clues to what might have happened to her. The A/C adaptor dissected into a Y, the exposed outlet on the wall, it all made sense. Her serious impatience to fix her musical instrument led her to a serious shock. It must have been sum 60 Vaults that that flew her little body, across her little room and over her little organ, and thus the beginning of my big troubles.

Ok, but your story is discussing something else, which is that accidents happen and that you were an impatient kid, hope you got over that part.

The story you mentioned about spraying insect spary on TV, that is another story. It includes other elements such as 1) TV has too much static, which means it is not good designed 2) too much dust, dust attracts static, so it should have been cleaned properly 3) labels on aerosol cans should be better and clear for people 4) apartment not equipped with fire sprinklers, safety hazard 5) Never cram 3 women in an apartment, it is dangerous 6) the furtniture was not good quality and caught fire quick 7) The TV was close to elements that can catch fire, so the apartment was not organised 8) you should always unplug your tv when not used, otherwise you get static in the system 9) TV fuse box (the one on the floor) was not good isolated aganist such hazards

Here is the true story for u:

one of the ladies spilled a coke can over the receiver, and then left it overnight only to find heaps of aunts colonizing the box. She sprayed the receiver and was amused by the spark created in midst air: somewhere between the television and receiver. She realized that the closer she got to the T.V. the more static gave way to more sparks. Eyes fixated on screen; she thought that God was tying to communicate with her via T.V. and couldn't resist vigorously spraying the T.V. with the pesticide: She was afraid to lose God.

The fire was staged, forensics later discovered:

1st Indian lady died of Pesticide spray inhalation
2nd Indian lady was murdered for trying to stop the 3rd lady from communicating with God

I wonder how you can get all those details? If coke was spilled on the TV, it should not work.

The coke was spilled on the satellite receiver which later became infested with ants; this is why the survivor lady sprayed it with a can of Bif-Baf. You would ask me how I knew it was Bif-Baf. Given the fact that our ant-sprayer/survivor/murderer/ has very lazy cleaning habits, we can safely presume that she doesn’t have organized shopping habits and probably buys bare necessities from the local Baqqala (mini-mart) which in the area of Salmya would never carry more than 1 kind of pesticide.
