That's just popping a button. Where are the flames & shrapnel?

That comes when the button and the piece of silver wire lands in the
shortwave power amp that I used to sometimes run "open cockpit" ... zzzt
.... *PHOOMP*

But it was always other stuff that did that. The loudest bang was an
electrolytic, back when I was a kid and didn't have the foggiest about
ripple current limits and stuff. Took off and made a crater in the
ceiling plaster, then upon return from its brief orbit a smolder hole in
the carpet.
