In the night of january 21 2006, the capt. Marleau of the Montreal fire dept. died after being surprised by a "white smoke "explosion. The Montreal fire department has made an impressive resarch on the causes of this fire and the White smoke explosion. They even reproduce in laboratory the appartment where the fire occured and reproduced the explosion.
Last sunday on Découverte à scientific the tv show on Radio-Canada - the french CBC counterpart - the presented they showed the results of their search. It's in french but there are some good views of the white smoke explosion they reproduced.
If you're intrested you'll find the link on my blog. The link is on the post entiteld: Le reportage de l'émission Découverte.... posted sept 23. You can click on the title and it should bring you there.
