If a finally block throws an exception, what exactly happens?
Specifically, what happens if the exception is thrown midway through a finally block. Do the rest of statements (after) in this block get invoked?
I am aware that exceptions will propagate upwards.

That exception propagates out and up, and will (can) be handled at a higher level.
Your finally block will not be completed beyond the point where the exception is thrown.
If the finally block was executing during the handling of an earlier exception then that first exception is lost.
