We had an old switch-mode power supply that was acting up and likely to catastrophically fail... so we helped it along a little. We are very skilled with electricity and electronics... please DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!!!

This is a good example of how violently larger silicon devices (i.e. MOSFETs, IGBTs, TRIACs, etc) fail... and an excellent reminder of why you must wear eye protection when working in close proximity to such devices.
