The 1981 Indianapolis 500 race became notable for an incident involving methanol, which burns with an invisible flame. During the race, a collision caused a fire that was not immediately visible. Methanol burns with a clear flame that isn’t easily seen in daylight, which makes the fire challenging to detect initially. Several race cars and a safety vehicle were involved in the incident, but , the response was quick once the fire was realized. | History In Pictures

Science & Technology on Instagram: "A methanol fire is a fire caused by the ignition of a flammable liquid called methanol. Methanol is an easily flammable, rapidly evaporating alcohol that ignites quickly in the event of a fire. When burning, it often produces a blue and almost invisible flame, making it difficult to recognize. In addition, the smoke and vapor released during a fire is a health hazard."
