Something very different.

In the heat of crisis some people just cannot think rationally. They just react and forget the obvious and correct solution.

I think it's hilarious.. mind you it sucks for the owner. The continued footage with the extinguisher in plain sight makes it priceless.

When I first got into the hobby we flew open exhaust control line and glow fuel fires happened a lot from priming the exhaust port. One fire was caused by a very well known local pylon racer who also happens to work for the Seattle Fire Dept and to make a long story short we had to call the trucks
2 other guys on the scene of the crime were fire alarm system installers.
Dry grass, no water, blankets or fire extinguishers.

Similar mindset perhaps to the running joke I used to hear among the electricians across the counter was that they were often the worst for having a haphazard bird's nest of a panel at home, despite the care they took on the job.
