I can't think of such an instance, but Fred may have come across something.

Does anyone have an example of a container failure of a pyrophoric substance in storage, or even broader, ignition of a stored pyrophore?  I cannot find anything in my stack of stuff apart from finely divided metallic hydrides that have self heated/ignited after >20+ years of storage of the former metal.  

 

"In storage" is key here.

Thanks,
