Watch 6,000 Matchsticks Fall Like Dominoes As They Erupt In Flames

Don't try this at home!

It's as relaxing as watching a crackling fire.

The below video showing rows of matchsticks going up in flames like a beautiful fire domino has quickly spread like wildfire on the Internet.

Posted to YouTube by the "HTD" channel on Mar. 14, it's now racked up more than 7.7 million views. The 14 minute 19 second clip begins with a single match being lit.
