Even if most people ignore the warning signs on gas pumps, they exist for a reason, as people are finding out from a video going viral. The CCTV footage shows a man in Chelyabinsk, Russia lighting a cigarette while pumping gas into his car; the fuel immediately bursts into flames, and the man pulls the nozzle out of his tank in a panic, spreading flaming gasoline everywhere.
Amazingly, he manages to get in the burning car from the passenger side, cranks the engine, and drives the burning car away before being seen running back to the pump and grabbing a fire extinguisher to put out the rest of the flames.
