Phosphorous-Anti-Tank-Missile.mp4

This is something I received in an e-mail. Thought it was interesting and certainly feasible. I used to handle and lab pack hazardous materials. Three of them were Red, Yellow, and White phosphorous. It has to be vacuum packed or kept under water. It can with friction, radio or x-rays burst into flames. Or just being exposed to air can do it.

I once lit the asphalt on fire, and could not extinguish it, at a school, where I was removing the phosphorus from the schools science lab. I had a hard time putting it out. I was getting rid of it a tiny piece at a time. Because it was just to dangerous to put on the truck with other hazardous materials. But even a small teaspoon sized chunk melted and burned a good bit of asphalt. And my boot.
