In this case the fire was directed off the flap and so at least went only in one direction.

The fumes on that video go on for over 35 seconds, ours were out within ten.
In both our cases the remains of the LiPos were substantially intact. When you open the bunker all you have is 'ashes'. What we did was to stop the fumes at source as fast as possible, something you cannot do when the source is isolated in the metal box.

sorry pete but im going to pick up on something here
if there in a sealed bag, how did you get to the source?
your own admission says the bag was NOT sealed and flames shot out!
there is as much chance of smothering the "bunker" than a sealed correctly bag!
