The phosphorus was in some kind of oil, not water, water would ignite it.
Stefan: You are confusing with POTASSIUM, I think. Phosphorus is
NON-metallic, kinda a translucent white/yellowish solid about like frozen butter
in consistency at room-temperature, best I can recall. It will ignite in
air at very low ambient temperature. Potassium or Sodium will "corrode" so
fast when in contact with water than HEAT is generated, sufficient to ignite
the Hydrogen that is given off by the Na (or K)+H²O reaction.
