[QUOTE=Judas;48826324]holy shit, how can you be so stupid to light a match away from you?[/QUOTE]
What? I've always been told NEVER to light towards you.
This guy has nfi in any case.
Rough translation from what the chat is saying (text to speech)
Going through it now time stamping it will add to op

"Whaaaaaaat???"
"Why did you take it over there?"
"Call 119" (Japanese 911)
"Find a way to smother it."
"Whaaaa"

"If you don't smother it it's not going to go out."

[QUOTE=redBadger;48826741]To be fair a lot of places do not train you in fire safety. At least in America, I haven't had one fire safety course in school that would prepare you for such an accident.
The guy probably panicked and had no idea what to do.[/QUOTE]
I haven't had one either
only really takes common sense to snuff a flame properly
hell he could have just put it in the bowl and used another bowl to snuff the lighter + match

You'd think though, given Japans historical and traditional construction methods, while not used anywhere near as much anymore, they'd have fire safety drilled into them on a near genetic level

Whichever way you light it doesn't really matter if you put the burning match in a bag of flammable stuff, in an area where there was lighter fluid in an apartment full of flammable things.
Either this guy is pretending he didn't do it on purpose or he's legendarily fucking dumb
Playing with fire in a room full of highly flammable materials. The dude's not all there. Would probably be safer to keep him locked up in jail or a mental institute.

he'd probably accidentally burn it down somehow
He almost had it out and he goes and unplugs his mic
priorities
[QUOTE=aznz888;48826331]Starts at 5:05. He burns himself a bit on the lighter wad, and quickly tosses it into the refuse pile behind him, which is incidentally full of paper.
Once he notices that, he also tosses the burning pile into another part of the room... which is incidentally full of paper and flammable materials.
The entire problem could have been contained if he just paid attention to where he was throwing stuff. Oh, and probably having a fire extinguisher.[/QUOTE]
If he simply kept his house clean that might have helped. But something else would have probably caught fire instead
Poor bastard.
This video in a nutshell:

Wow.
That couldn't have gone any more wrong.
You think he's fucked up enough then he fucks up even more.
This wouldn't be so fucking maddening if he hadn't gotten someone killed too.
According to [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/3ng8za/japanese_live_streamer_accidentally_burns_his/cvnvwgn"]this comment[/URL], no one died in this fire, the woman in question died in a different fire and someone was mistaken.
Man cut him some slack, the guy was clearly panicked. People do dumb things under pressure.
it is so surreal how the fire keeps getting bigger and until details fade away from the smoke and light of the flames
I have one of those lighters, you have to be careful with it or you spill lighter fluid everywhere.

Christ that tiny little fire could have been out so quickly. Except he decided to feed it...

Fire was hungry, man fed it. Seems like a pretty nice thing to do.
I hope he has to pay out of his ass for the damages he caused.
Fucking retard.

At least we can call him an idiot rather than a murderer. Silver lining.
How can you be so shitty at killing the fire when all you need to do is suffocate the flames and make no air reach it, he was literally making it worse
[QUOTE=No_Excuses;48828543]Man cut him some slack, the guy was clearly panicked. People do dumb things under pressure.[/QUOTE]
True, but the fire wouldn't have started if he didn't toss the burning match in a bag of flammable material.
...Then tried to put it out with more flammable material.
Holy shit I watched this vid earlier but I killed it about half way through when he brought out the mattress. I thought he finally had it handled and sorted it but nope. What the fuck?
What a fucking retard
Remember kids, keep a fire extinguisher in your house.
Also don't start a fire indoors then feed it with cardboard boxes.

Can't you just get a small funnel or such for it?

Actually yeah I just realized he was placing the matches into the bag of rags covered in lighter fluid, what a fuck ass.
How ignorant can this guy get? Fire safety is always important, especially in a densely populated urban area that's just chock full of potential fuel sources, and he seems to know nothing at all about how to deal with fires, half the time it looks like he's not even trying.
Gotta say that was a right strange and rather dangerous lighter design though.
