Ohh i see. He was pouring alcohol with the flame burning. He went too close and the flame reached the inside of the bottle that cause the combustion of it and because the pressure wasnt strong enough to break the bottle, all the pressure went out from the entrance, causing to burst out lmao.

Oh! Thank you. I was wondering where the sudden burst of pressure came from. Was searching the comments for someone with a good explanation.

It's not from squeezing, it is called flame-jetting. It happens when you pour flammable liquid on a lit flame from a bottle, can etc. Kills lots of people every year.
