Slow motion video of model rocket engine underwater doesn't end well

Burning Model Rocket Engine Underwater in 4K Slow Motion - Rockets (S1 • E4)


Warped Perception ignited an Estes D12-5 model rocket engine in a glass tank of water.

(In model rocketry, the ejection charge deploys the parachute a few seconds after the primary fuel burns out.)
