@BRANCATO111 The heat of fusion of water is something like 80 calories per gram. The specific heat of water is one calorie per degree per gram. In essence, as the water turns solid it heats the remaining water. The whole process stops when the remaining water hits zero degrees C. Not all the water is frozen, so the bottle can handle the slight volume change.

God did it. There. Now I don't have to think.

Why didn't the bottle tare with the expanding ice formation? (Water expands when it freezes).

I don't buy it. I can put a water bottle in the freezer right now, and it will freeze. It won't stay melted untillI shake it. There is something in his water that is chemically changing it.

"Phenomena" is PLURAL. "Phenomenon" = SINGULAR. Get it right people.

Hot Water Freezing in Airby texasguy897355,777 views
Basically, the liquid will not freeze if there is nothing for the molecules to cling to. (In this case, the air at the top). Once you turn the bottle over (Or simply shake it) the air from the top mixes in with the water and gives the liquid something to form ice with.

This is called Supercooling. There is also Superheating, which is very dangerous, I believe The Mythbusters did a show on these once.
Distilled water can go past the freezing/boiling point due to the lack of impurities.
