‘Elephant toothpaste’ experiment explodes with large bubbles
YouTuber who added more chemicals than a normal experiment
He complained of difficulty breathing, pouring out sweat, tears, and even snot.
Cameraman: “Emergency rescuers were dispatched and his condition recovered.”
While a famous American YouTuber was conducting a chemical experiment on live broadcast, an explosion occurred. The YouTuber suffocated from the toxic smoke and a rescue team was dispatched.
According to foreign media reports on the 5th, streamer and YouTuber ‘Ishospeed’ (18, real name Darren Watkins Jr.) suffered a suffocation accident while conducting a chemical experiment with a cameraman in his room on the 4th, and emergency responders were dispatched. .
He experimented with making ‘elephant toothpaste’, which is trending online. ‘Elephant toothpaste’ is made by adding hydrogen peroxide, potassium iodide, and detergent to create a large foam. The name comes from the fact that the shape of the foam resembles a large toothpaste squeezed out.
Usually, ‘elephant toothpaste’ experiments are conducted with the contents in a small beaker because it explodes while creating a significant amount of foam compared to the volume.
However, the ‘Elephant Toothpaste’ experiment conducted by ‘Isho Speed’ was different. He conducted the experiment by mixing warm water, yeast, food coloring, and dish detergent in a large plastic bucket.
Once he had mixed all the ingredients, a lot of foam poured out of the bucket and smoke began to rise. Afterwards, his room became thick with smoke and an alarm sounded.
In response, ‘Isho Speed’ escaped from the room, swearing and shouting, “Somebody help me.”
Additionally, abnormal reactions began to appear in ‘Isho Speed’s’ body. Sweat and tears were streaming from his forehead and eyes, and a considerable amount of snot was coming from his nose. Afterwards, ‘Isho Speed’, who had difficulty breathing and was complaining of extreme pain, eventually left the room and evacuated.
After the situation calmed down, a cameraman who was with him said Aishospeed suffered asphyxiation but was treated by paramedics.
His cameraman said: “Speed is currently with the rescuers. They are giving him oxygen to help him breathe. He will be fine.”
‘iShowSpeed’ is a YouTuber and streamer who currently has about 20.6 million YouTube subscribers. It is popular among young people as it utilizes various challenges and memes in its content.
In addition to this experiment, he has had several accidents and has been in the spotlight.
Previously, during a live broadcast in July of last year, iShoSpeed almost caused a big fire by setting off firecrackers featuring models of animation characters in his room.
Also, in August of the same year, he was in danger of being arrested while making a prank call to the police.
