explosion?
no video then it didn't happen! 
true story - I worked at a USAF electronic warfare facility back in the 80s. One contractor there tossed in a bag of popcorn into the microwave and hit the wrong time button. Back then, the microwaves were HIGH power. So when the bag caught fire, triggered the smoke alarms, etc. Two buildings (800+ people) had to be evacuated, the base fire department came in, MPs were securing the facility, etc.
The Colonel was NOT pleased.

Makes a loud SNAP followed by smoke & swear words seem mild...

That happened last year in an hospital in near me because someone put a small "brΓΆtchen" (round small piece of bread) in the microwave, set the wrong time for it and went out of the room... 
The hospital manager was not pleased as well, at all.
Luckily in that wing there were no severe patients and everyone was able to move by themselves.

Back in the prehistoric days when I worked at EMI ('79-80) one of the team I was attached to used to experiment with connecting electronic components across the mains and seeing how spectacular a demise he could elicit. Metal can transistors were quite pretty, giving a small volcano effect as they boiled, rupturing the can as sparks flew out of the hole, but for sheer impact large, low voltage (12-35V) electrolytic capacitors took some beating. Big bang and a cloud of vile smoke which would drift through the facility, which was a typical 30-40's era factory, composed of individual "lab/workshops" which had no ceiling of their own, so really just solid dividers open to the glass roof.

Officer, officer... I don't know what it is happening with the people... they must all have gone nuts, they are all driving on the wrong line.

I ran a pretty extensive bench test on some hardware i'm trying on a Cortex M7. it's not fast enough for what I need. I've been avoiding going to more powerful smartphone tech like ARM Cortex A7s due to needing an OS to support it. Fortunately I found an A7 i can run bare metal without an OS so I don't need the end users to stomach Linux boot times
STM32MP157D-DK1 eval board[^] <-- The MCU on this eval board is the magic.
GitHub - 4ms/stm32mp1-baremetal: Baremetal framework and example projects for the STM32MP15x Cortex-A7 based MPU[^]
With this gorgeous offering on github. I owe them a keg of beer for this.
Let's talk about my old platform vs my new one
Old: Single core 480 MHz, realtime, 1MB of SRAM. 2MB of Flash
New: Triple core (2 800MHz A cores, and a 209MHz realtime M core), 768KB of SRAM, up to 1GB of DDR3 (we'll probably use 128MB), flash is external, and can be any size we need, or even an sd reader.
I can't wait for the kit to get here so I can try this. I'm beside myself. This opens up a lot of doors.
This is the sauce i needed, right here (well, the first part of the sauce anyway the primary ingredient)

We live in interesting times.
Sometimes I wish I was still closer to the start of my career. It might've taken an entirely different path.
