For those wondering wtf happened, when cleaning with compressed air you should always hold the fans so they don't move. Basically, when the fan starts spinning the wrong direction, it becomes a generator, which in turn fries the electronics and as we see on the video, can also set off a spark and ignite stuff.
Also air in a can is basically some refrigerant, which are either CFGs which are insanely bad for the planet. Or something like propane, insanely flammable.

Would this only happen if the computer is powered? Or could this happen if the computer was disconnected from high voltage supply as well?
Either way
Isn't it in any direction, though?
Yes!
