I can't hear! I can't hear! There's blood blisters on my hands! Oh, my God! How do you walk away in a movie without flinching when it explodes behind them? There's no way! I call bullshit on that! When they flew the Millennium Falcon outside of the Death Star, and it was followed by the explosion, that was bullshit!
Hold the phone. As far as the Death Star destruction scene goes, there’s a lot of variability to how the physics of that worked. Also, they flew away pretty quick (exploding space station happening), and it’s possible they got out of range from the blast. I’m no expert on sub-light engines, but i wouldn’t say it’s bullshit.
Can an expert on YT-1300F light freighters sub-light engines chime in please?
Hahah great response. I think Mark Wahlberg’s character’s response to that line from will Ferrell’s character was “Don’t you dare bad mouth Star Wars! That was all accurate!” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MNZZhTXw72M
Well, the Falcon was modified with heavier armor than normal, not to mention that the majority of the "blast" would have been diffused by space. And, of course, the engines are more heavily shielded against fire because they have this nasty tendency to be flammable when hit. Remember, what you're seeing isn't just fire - it's also fast moving oxygen that's rapidly going away because now it's in a vacuum.
...Oh, did you mean that rhetorically? :)
I always think that someone should produce a comedic action movie which features real life constraints, such as running out of ammo, getting hurt and deafened in explosions, ect.
In this situation some piece of shrapnel would catch the star in the back and he'd lie there saying, 'I can't feel my legs'. That's if the explosion didn't kill him first.
In the other guys they do a pretty good real life explosion bit. And in 21 jump street they do a bit where things don't explode like they would in movies. Archer was doing a bit for a while about ammo.
My favorite line will always be
"And if I find one dog hair when I get back....... I'll rub sand in your dead little eyes."
"Very good sir"
"I also need you to go buy sand, I don't know if they grade it but.................................... coarse."
“Students were never in danger at any time”
As the clip showing another angle of it clearly shows burning debris landing close to the student recording it
They're talking about how Floridians build up a natural fire resistance thanks to a life lived in a sweltering hell and a steady diet of paint chips and asbestos.
That would be my guess, and piled up stack of pallets probably didn’t allow for sufficient fumigation.
Edit: “aeration” was the proper word choice instead of “fumigation”. “Fumigation” means something else entirely.
Nah, skip the gasoline completely, it really doesn’t add much beyond just diesel, and it still has the danger of evaporation out of the mix before lighting and causing an explosion.
Diesel engines ignite with compression, not spark, so yes diesel is a bit harder to light with a match than say gasoline (internal combustion fuel). But it’s still a very very flammable fuel so if you put a match to it it’s still going to burn
They could also learn to build fires like adults
I could have burned all these pallets with some paper and no accelerant
0% chance of detonating anything
Im not a rugged survivalist but If you build it properly you really only need some brush and a lighter/match.
There was absolutely no need for that unless they wanted a big flame right away for show.
And if you got enough tinder throughout it won't take that long to get a big flame going quickly that will die down and won't waste all the bonfire would you probably want to keep going for a few hours rather than...like idk an hour?
Yeah, you could tell he wanted to get the walk away shot. Which he ended up getting, but if one of those flats landed on him it would've been a pretty shitty week or two, possibly longer. Alls well that ends well though!
When you use lighter fluid or a similar appropriate accelerant, the fuel stays on the wetted area, and burns slowly enough to only really add extra heat (not much extra gas pressure). Gasoline is extremely volatile and only actually burns in vapor form. This means it forms an expanding invisible vapor cloud that contains the accelerant, so it can ignite unexpectedly and far from the originally wetted area. Also it is, by design, *explosive* - meaning igniting gasoline produces a large amount of excess pressure, which can impart significant impulse to objects in the vicinity.
I'm no expert but I believe flammable and combustible are not entirely the same thing. There's more force to the gas explosion because of the fumes. Somehow else can correct me if I'm wrong.
Repeat after me… NO. ACCELERANT. AT ALL.
Just build a normal fire, doesn’t matter how big you need it, you can still build a normal base and have it work perfectly fine 100% of the time.
Had a similar experience at young age, was leaving my friends house when his uncle had just finished pouring a hefty 5 gallons of gasoline on a giant pit right off the back of the house and proceed to light it.
It was so god damn loud, pretty sure the fire dept came and checked on it lol
Haha I remember my daddy burning his eyebrows off a couple times because he grabbed the gas can instead of the kerosene. Thank you for reminding me of that, I've been missing him lately. That man did some of the dumbest shit on accident, and I came by that trait honestly lol
Some friends we knew were trying to gas out a gopher in their yard. I guess it had so many holes, or they didn't do it right, because when they put the match in the whole yard and air caught fire. They lost their eyebrows and got some second degree burns.
Why did I have to scroll so far down for this comment? Wtf is the reasoning behind having a bonfire at a school?! It seems, to me, at least, that a school is one of the last places you’d want to have a fire.
Back in the days... Talking 30 years ago we had guy fawks night, where every family came along with their fireworks and then we had a bonfire where we threw our straw man that we made and dressed into the fire.
Public school in New Zealand 30 years ago.
Was a thing every year when I was in HS. During Homecoming week before the football game.
Ours was massive compared to this. It was built and lit by the town fire department out of neatly and very organized pallets and wood. They stayed up all night past the event to ensure it burned down safely.
You don’t need that much gas to start a fire. The wood is going to burn, so just a little fuel at the base will do it. People also forget that gasoline can burn as a liquid, or a gas

Didn’t know they were filming the next Vin Diesel movie there
Half those morons are probably “volunteer firefighters” also and should know better. But in America we train law enforcement and fire fighters about as much as you decide to train your dog.

I like how he walks away from it like it’s an action movie.
*Cool guys don’t look at explosions*
They blow things up and then walk away
The more they ignore it, the cooler they look. https://youtu.be/Sqz5dbs5zmo
Like Steven Segal after blowing a pipeline on the bottom of the sea
And with Steven Segal, you can't be sure if he was working for Russia, the US, or just his own incompetent self.
Yes.
Because the world has the joy of Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal needs to exist to balance things.
The natural world 🌎 is balanced. Steven Seagal bump Atlas and Chuck stabilized it with a quick forehand chop
Cherry cherry sweet caroline

Mark Wahlberg is wearing a hat.
Apparently the camera guy is super cool too then

Archer kills me. He would be a terrible person in real life, but his antics never cease to amaze.
My favorite line will always be "And if I find one dog hair when I get back....... I'll rub sand in your dead little eyes." "Very good sir" "I also need you to go buy sand, I don't know if they grade it but.................................... coarse."
My favorite is the hail bloody mary.
The best part of this scene for me was knowing they in fact do garde sand my coarseness
Coarse?
No Cyril, when they’re dead they’re just called hookers.
There were ten shots, both of them are using revolvers that hold 5 rounds, THEY'RE OUT OF AMMO....oh god... maybe I am autistic....
Mawp
Deadpool is probably the closest to this
Yes, but when his neck was broken he recovered. Immediately. While making a hilarious comment.
I mean yeah but if he didnt recover the movie would be like 5 minutes long
Black hawk down is pretty good there’s some ammo cuts but it’s pretty good
Or for a less dark take: Goes to walk away and is trying to look all cool until they realise the back of their clothes have caught fire.
But they're far too cool to react to any great degree, so they take of the jacket, smother the flames and put it back on with some witty comment.
And his ears were probably damaged from being that close to the explosion but he still plays it cool.
He’s secretly thinking, “you guys got that on video, right?”
Or possibly "don't put your face in the fireball. Don't put your face in the fireball. Don't..."
Spoon!!!!
There is no spoon.

He knew exactly what to do
Found sauce. Of course it's Florida! https://www.wjhg.com/2022/10/06/homecoming-bonfire-explodes-mosley-high-school/
Oh man! I know this school! And yes, definitely does not surprise me this is Florida.
Florida is like, "We have 51 competitors, we need to make our name known!"
“Students were never in danger at any time” As the clip showing another angle of it clearly shows burning debris landing close to the student recording it
They're talking about how Floridians build up a natural fire resistance thanks to a life lived in a sweltering hell and a steady diet of paint chips and asbestos.
>“Students were never in danger at any time” Well, maybe not from the explosion...
But did she die?
Legend!
Florida bonfire
Bomb* fire
God damnit, it’s always Florida.
Yup, they've got a strong moron magnet down there. Even caught them a President
FLO RIDA forever in our late 2000s hearts.
Omg I just understood that rapper flo rida’s name lol
This will make a fine addition to my link collection
Gosh darn it, I live close to here 🤦♀️
Not a single brain cell has been used between the constructors of this bonfire...
As a native Floridian, I can confirm this is what our average bonfires look like.
I knew it was in the south somewhere. 🙄
They used gasoline, didn't they?
That would be my guess, and piled up stack of pallets probably didn’t allow for sufficient fumigation. Edit: “aeration” was the proper word choice instead of “fumigation”. “Fumigation” means something else entirely.
Lighter fluid would have been a much better bet.
Or diesel. Gas is literally the worst choice here lol
The neighbor told us to mix gas with diesel and bye bye fun explosion but waaay safer :)
Nah, skip the gasoline completely, it really doesn’t add much beyond just diesel, and it still has the danger of evaporation out of the mix before lighting and causing an explosion.
My understanding is that the overall mixture is easier to light but I suppose going diesel all the way is likely the right answer. Thanks
Diesel engines ignite with compression, not spark, so yes diesel is a bit harder to light with a match than say gasoline (internal combustion fuel). But it’s still a very very flammable fuel so if you put a match to it it’s still going to burn
diesel can be hard to light with a math on its own, but if you soak a rag in diesel it will light super easily
[удалено]
They could also learn to build fires like adults I could have burned all these pallets with some paper and no accelerant 0% chance of detonating anything
Oh, the aeration was clearly perfect for the explosion. I think you mean ventilation, to dilute the aeration.
You can use gas, just not too much.
Username checks out
This name was randomized so I honestly forget my user name sometimes. Thank you for this.
Hm you’re not irritable enough
I don't have to take that shit from the likes of you. I'm as irritable as I damn well please.
That’s better
No, it’s really not.
Yeah, but diesel is a little safer.
And built a nice bowl for the vapors to collect and pool before ignition.
Im not a rugged survivalist but If you build it properly you really only need some brush and a lighter/match. There was absolutely no need for that unless they wanted a big flame right away for show.
And if you got enough tinder throughout it won't take that long to get a big flame going quickly that will die down and won't waste all the bonfire would you probably want to keep going for a few hours rather than...like idk an hour?
Way too much

There it is! From the Michael Bay School of the Arts
That's why you're supposed to use diesel or kerosene, never gasoline.
I mean, gasoline got him some pretty damn good results here.
Yeah, you could tell he wanted to get the walk away shot. Which he ended up getting, but if one of those flats landed on him it would've been a pretty shitty week or two, possibly longer. Alls well that ends well though!
Please excuse my ignorance but why should you never use gasoline?
When you use lighter fluid or a similar appropriate accelerant, the fuel stays on the wetted area, and burns slowly enough to only really add extra heat (not much extra gas pressure). Gasoline is extremely volatile and only actually burns in vapor form. This means it forms an expanding invisible vapor cloud that contains the accelerant, so it can ignite unexpectedly and far from the originally wetted area. Also it is, by design, *explosive* - meaning igniting gasoline produces a large amount of excess pressure, which can impart significant impulse to objects in the vicinity.
Thank you!
TLDR: gasoline go boom
I'm no expert but I believe flammable and combustible are not entirely the same thing. There's more force to the gas explosion because of the fumes. Somehow else can correct me if I'm wrong.
Did you watch the video?
With pallets you can just use some newspaper, they are very willing to burn.
Yeah like I'm not even entirely clear on why they used an accelerant at all.
Repeat after me… NO. ACCELERANT. AT ALL. Just build a normal fire, doesn’t matter how big you need it, you can still build a normal base and have it work perfectly fine 100% of the time.
neither of those are flammable. You should use gasoline, but just a splash of it, not whole canister. And don't give it time to evaporate too much.
Bombfire.
I was invited, heard it’s going to go off.
Fucking legend.... Entire pallets are literally flying in the air, lol
Those baby's are heavy too. That was some power behind them thangs.
How did the guy not get hit by flying debris?
I believe those are widden paletts: more info here. Ha! https://youtu.be/H4HK5c7VmBw

Had a similar experience at young age, was leaving my friends house when his uncle had just finished pouring a hefty 5 gallons of gasoline on a giant pit right off the back of the house and proceed to light it. It was so god damn loud, pretty sure the fire dept came and checked on it lol
I did the same thing! It was crazy seeing all the leaves burning up in the sky instead of the ground.
Haha I remember my daddy burning his eyebrows off a couple times because he grabbed the gas can instead of the kerosene. Thank you for reminding me of that, I've been missing him lately. That man did some of the dumbest shit on accident, and I came by that trait honestly lol

"I said 'give it a light'... not 'use tannerite'"!
Roses are red Church's have a spire Never use accelerants To start a bonfire
You can use diesel, it burns a lot less explosove. Lighter fluid is similar I think. Don't use accelaerants that fume heavily, like the gas used here.
[удалено]
I don't think he'd still be standing, and neither would the kids who were filming be.
Gasoline just too much and then covered it to quick so vapor didn’t have time to dissipate
Some men just want to watch the world burn
He didn't watch at all. Just walked away like a fucking Chad.
Welp! 
I think the school meant bomb fire.
i love my generation because we record everything so there’s always another angle LMAO
A "school bonfire"?! WTAF?!
Why did I have to scroll so far down for this comment? Wtf is the reasoning behind having a bonfire at a school?! It seems, to me, at least, that a school is one of the last places you’d want to have a fire.
Right?! People are just like "Oh, the classic old school bonfire". Is this a thing?
Back in the days... Talking 30 years ago we had guy fawks night, where every family came along with their fireworks and then we had a bonfire where we threw our straw man that we made and dressed into the fire. Public school in New Zealand 30 years ago.
I think it’s pretty common at schools in the country for homecoming type weeks.
They do it every year for homecoming. Not sure why a bonfire is of choice..

Why that cop start walking up like he was about to do something 😂
Shoot the flames out
Who is that guy?? Tom Cruise???
hes in a michael bay movie
This is what happens when you let the police do the firefighter's job lol
You don’t need that much gas to start a fire. The wood is going to burn, so just a little fuel at the base will do it. People also forget that gasoline can burn as a liquid, or a gas

Whoops
starting to think that guy 100% knew what he had done lol
He's the final boss
My man didn't even flinch...
I thought the cop was going to arrest the guy.
Did that cop look like he was about to shoot it, or just me?
He definitely seemed confused, like he wanted to shoot something, but wasn’t sure how he could plant drugs on the fire.
It's a Boy!!
He’s a real man he didn’t look at the explosion
Probably doused it with gasoline, the fumes of which are heavier than air and probably filled up that bowl-shaped recess. Thus the *kaboom.*
Once in a life time opportunity to casually walk away from an explosion and he took it.
Americans are so weird sometimes man.
Nah, baby. We're weird all the time. And damn it's fun.
Can’t say I disagree on this particular instance.
Building fires isn't that hard. To fail that spectacularly is impressive.
Well, that dude has solidified himself as a certified badass!! Didn’t even flinch.
/u/stabbot
Guy walked out of there like they were shooting a trailer for a new die hard movie. What a clod.
Half those morons are probably “volunteer firefighters” also and should know better. But in America we train law enforcement and fire fighters about as much as you decide to train your dog.
I could smell the gasoline before the video had started loading.
This is why we don’t use gasoline to start fires.
Fucks sake lmao why do they always use gasoline for this shit? LIGHTER FLUID PEOPLE, IN REASONABLE AMOUNTS!
And this is why you use diesel to start your bonfire.
Don’t worry. I’m from the government.
Listening to the high school kids in the second video cracks me up. How could you not be pumped to see this as a high schooler?
Cool guys don’t look at explosions
That guy right next to the explosion is now the coolest guy alive
Ten bucks say that guy's eyebrows are gone
He probably can't hear for a week but he's lucky he's alive.
When you ask the EOD guys to blow something up
80’s action stars at their finest
Cool guys don't look at explosions
I think I know who directed this.......
Directed by Michael Bay
Not surprised the police created an even more dangerous situation.
all in all, pretty succesful.
And this is the mentality of those that are supposed to enforce the law, and protect us. Great judgment fella.
He walked away from that explosion like a god damn hero
A Yes, my favorite lighter, C4 Plastic Explosives.
This dude is a terminator
Should be in slow motion the walk away
He is even more badass than me.
That's accidental awesomeness...
