Shorting a lipo=destruction?

Update: My home owners insurance company will be happy to know my house did not burn down last night. The cells seem fine this morning, no puffing, holds voltage. My charger should arrive in the mail today, I will charge up the pack and see if I can burn my 777 to the ground! (that would be a horrible first run eh?)
But seriously, cell seems fine, and when I make my second pack tonight I will try to be more careful.

Edit: spell check can't help when you techincally spelled a word right, but used a wrong word!
