Disturbing footage shows the moment a hair dryer exploded, sparking an out-of-control barbershop fire that claimed the lives of two men.
The shocking incident took place in July while a haircutter named Ashraful Islam was giving a customer a trim at a barbershop in Kanchpur, Bangladesh, Jam Press reported.
In the clip, the barber can be seen plugging a hair dryer into a wall outlet, before switching it on and off. He then proceeds to use the appliance on the client, named Hridoy Hasan, whereupon it appears to explode. In an instant, both the barbershop and the two men are engulfed in flames as if hit with a flamethrower.
The clip ends with groans and a woman screaming as smoke fills the still-smoldering room.
