Flows like water, yet there is none to extinguish it.

Died at lvl 20 when the first nether rack hidden deposit got me.

I've been burnt about 3 times since. So now I carry minimal equipment when mining and prepare to run when hit by a spurt. I'm mass producing nether bricks with the help of a double hopper setup... I still manually empty it for the XP :)
