I was at Everybus the last time they burned a Type 1 case.  Once the block caught fire, everyone stood waaaay back.  I noticed my shirt was glowing, like it was under a black light.  The trees in the distance were lit up like daylight.  Then, some joker threw water on it, sending flaming magnesium flying out. The next year, they decided not to burn a case with 300 people standing around.
