I was experimenting with burning magnesium and was told by a neighbor to be careful due the the fact that water supposedly could not put it out. In the video water was successful in putting it out but I believe this is due to the fact that it was a small amount and the water seemed to accelerate the burning till there was nothing left to keep it aflame.
