Verichrome Nitrate Film - Up in a flash! Part 2

So you may have seen my thread about the roll of Verichrome NON-SAFETY Nitrate film that expired in 1947 that I successfully shot and developed. Well PE strongly advised that I scan it and burn it, as it might suddenly combust in my fridge and burn my house down, so I figured I would document it, It sure does burn well... :)

I did a few test strips which is why you see some left over char and a few match sticks, the final piece was 3 6x9 length images long...

I was able to get only two shots off it burns so fast, threw the match, snapped the first pic, cranked the advance, and shot the second, and it was GONE.
