Shocking moment gran is nearly set on FIRE after family cram 95 candles on cake for her 95th birthday
WATCH the terrifying moment a 95-year-old nan was almost set on fire after her family crammed her birthday cake with 95 candles.
The clip starts off with the grandma beaming with joy as a dog barks in the background on July 25.
Her family start singing an Argentinian rendition of Happy Birthday while she is seated across from the cake which is glowing brightly.
They grin, clap and cheer as they capture footage of the jovial birthday bash but the gateau quickly catches fire.
A huge flame starts rising from the cake, just millilitres away from the elderly woman’s face.
The astonished gran opens her mouth in shock and points at the flaming cake.
The family shriek in panic before blowing each of the 95 candles out.
Their joint efforts proved successful as smoke is seen rising and the 95-year-old continued her birthday celebration in peace.
Her granddaughter said: “My grandmother turned 95, and my family decided to put 95 candles on the cake.
“No one thought it might catch fire, and my grandma.”
When one follower asked the granddaughter what happened to the cake, she replied: “It didn’t make any sense”.
She continued: “But we had to quickly remove all the candles while they were still burning.
“The top of the cake ended up covered in white wax.
“Still, it was totally edible – [we] just needed to remove the wax.”
This comes after haunting footage in Iraq captured a deadly fire erupt at an wedding as the newlywed couple enjoyed their first dance.
Bride Haneen and groom Revan were seen smiling as they sway sweetly, just seconds before their big day turns into a fatal disaster.
An elaborate indoor fireworks display began as the pair slow danced, which investigators believe sparked the horror blaze that ripped through al-Haitham Hall in Qaraqosh, Iraq.
Officials announced that 98 people had been confirmed dead while more than 100 were injured and suffered serious burns.
The newlyweds were also feared to have perished in the inferno, but it has since emerged that they survived after reportedly escaping through a kitchen door.
They suffered minor burns and lost a number of close relatives, a friend of the couple told AFP.
