Ha, I thought they would have at least grabbed the coffee first before the camera! I see they did so after it was extinguished. It's missing in the last photo.
That stuff is way too fine to be sand (it even clings to the glass on the CRT) - my guess would be a powder fire extinguisher. This is also suggested by the fact that _everything_ nearby is coated in the stuff, and you'd have to be damn clumsy to spill that much sand around if you were just dumping a bucket of it on a burning laptop...
In America.. First and foremost you must get solid evidence for your lawsuit. THEN and only then should you think about handling the highly dangerous fire based situation.
Personally at sight of flames that size i would have thought about running for marshmellows and graham crackers... not my camera... could have been a company marshmellow roast. This guy is such a party pooper.

Ah the modern world... Where, when faced with a highly dangerous fire based situation, people will run for a camera instead of an extinguisher.

Sand is often used as a fire extinguisher! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_sand_bucket)

Could that be chemicals from the battery? Just a thought. Any experts?
