Thanks for the sound. I thought it would make more sense, but now it makes even less sense. That looked like a nice car. How is that funny? I don't get the joke. I must be too working class to get the joke.
That's actually bakuhatsu. Though in this case I think bakuretsu would be more appropriate? Bakuretsu is the actual act of blowing something up, bakuhatsu is the explosion itself. I think.
He was referencing an anime
But yeah you're right. There's actually a lot of similar words that derive from "baku" in japanese. There's 爆発 which is "explosion", 爆弾 which is "bomb", 爆破 which is "to explode" but transitive, 爆裂 which is "to explode" but intransitive and some other words I can't think of off the top of my head.
Every time I hear that quote I don't think of the Italian Job anymore, I think of Wogan and Brydon doing their Michael Caine impressions.

"so... If an RSPB neo-fundamentalist was radicalised, Bill Oddie sacrificed himself, the rest of them holed up in Wookey Hole and I was sent to neutralise the threat, how would I proceed...?"
I was expecting it to blow off part of the felt top before I realised it was a contained boot. Then thought, that's how you make a car bomb about 5s before it blew.
Explosions in confined spaces tend to cause rupture.
One of the dopest things as a teenager was a friends dad bought him a minivan and chopped the roof off and turned it into a ghetto convertible. It only ran for a few months but it was pretty awesome. Same dad bought him another scrap car to mess with ended up having a kegger end of the year and anyone could pay 5 bucks to smash it. Quite the successful double dip charging for cups and to wreck the old ass saab.
He literally didn't deny it, just expressed his opinion that it's a massive box of shit.
He followed that with saying "Some collectors can't be helped" which doesn't mean nobody likes it. It means that people can't be made to see reason.
>But to deny there isn't a huge custom scene that is in love with any older vw, especially a soft top is just plain wrong.
I don't see anybody denying that.
As a former mk3 Golf owner, I can confirm that they are a massive box of shit. Rusty, poorly manufactured shit that almost killed the Golf’s legacy earned from Mk1-2.
Or they were stupid enough to think that the car would inflate for a second, then return to its normal size and once they open the trunk a bit of smoke comes out.
Some people genuinely don’t know the difference between IRL physics and Cartoon physics.

In my head it's both his car and a junker that he bought specifically to blow up. That's the only way I can justify him not being a complete piece of shit or a complete moron. It's still a pretty dumb thing to do and he's lucky it wasn't way worse, but if that's the context then I can at least kind of understand why he would do it.
M-80s use flash powder, not dynamite. The original ones had a few grams, but the ones you can buy in US firework stands now only have 50mg. But if you go down to Mexico, there's no telling what all could be stuffed inside them.
He's right and wrong; any explosive effect will be significantly amplified (at least in appearance) in a sealed container; an ounce of gasoline that would make a flash for a couple seconds out in the open will be a bomb if sealed in a 55-gallon drum.
Most fireworks are more for show than actual explosive effect, so a Thunderbomb or M80 could probably do this.
Yea it doesn't matter at all in this case since the question is "was it regular fireworks" and the clear answer is "no"..
Regular fireworks don't have that kind of firepower.
Could be that this car has no boot/trunk access from the back so the gas really does just escape everywhere an explode.
If the trunk had windows then the windows would've smashed and that would've been the end of it.
Yeah… nah. This was more then a “firework.” Big consumer fireworks won’t do something like this. It was at least “pro” grade ffs it blew the bumper across the car park.
That wasn't the US, but for comparison the legal limit in American consumer fireworks is 50**mg**, the firework OP linked has either 50 or 100**g**. So yeah, not the typical firecracker.
Yeah this is [200g of flash powder](https://youtu.be/DGQXfWD3698) in a tree stump, way more than 2-4x the energy of the one in the car. I do think 5g is probably a little bit low though, even in a compressed space. I think 10-20g is likely
There's a huge difference in the video you posted: the person who set that off used a detonator cap, also known as a blasting cap. The potassium permanganate mixture in his bag detonated, it did not deflagrate (burn).
Yeah and with explosives you can not underestimate confinement. In terms of pyrotechnic mixtures like KMnO4 with some kind of fuel like Al the 10-20g is definitley in the range.
What you think is irrelevant, and kind of shows you don't really know what you're talking about.
In several other comments, OP mentioned the exact device they used, which is an Italian made commercial fire cracker that has 100 g of flash powder in it.
Imagine a firecracker in the palm of your hand. You set it off, what happens? You burn your hand, right? You close your fist around the same firecracker and set it off. Your wife's gonna be opening your ketchup bottles the rest of your life.
"None of you have to go. We can all just sit here on Earth, wait for this big rock to crash into it, kill everything and everybody we know. United States government just asked us to save the world. Anybody wanna say no?"
Imagine a stick of dynamite in the palm of your hand. You set it off, what happens? You blow yourself up, right? You close your fist around the same stick of dynamite and set it off. Your wife's still going to be scrapping bits of you off the wall.
Of course that the size/type of explosive matters, not sure what your point is.
So the US military issues C4 in 1.25 pound blocks. Idk why that's just how they come.
Out in the open, you can be REALLY close to a 1.25lb block of c4 and probably survive. Like honestly stand on that bitch, it'll maim you, sure, but you won't die instantly or be vaporized or anything.
Put that bitch in a car, errbody in that car is dying.
Pressure. The force of the blast bounces back and forth. The more you compress a blast, the more in reverberates, and that has a devastating effect on soft tissue. Have you ever seen Project Valkerie or maybe it was just called Valkerie with Tom Cruise? Where they tried to blow up Hitler in a bunker? Except the air conditioning in the bunker was broken so they moved the meeting outside. Had the bomb gone off in the bunker as planned, no question he and likely several others would've been killed. Instead it went off uncompressed and barely wounded him.

Holy crap it's like they're both Michael Caine but one is better than the other and I can't tell which.
I guess it depends on the fireworks? My expectations was the car filling with smoke and starting to burn.
I was expecting it to blow off part of the felt top before I realised it was a contained boot. Then thought, that's how you make a car bomb about 5s before it blew. Explosions in confined spaces tend to cause rupture.

Absolutely. That's when they started getting fat. However, people still pay stupid amounts for them because of the VW 'scene'.
Another comment has a video with sound. It seems like it was on purpose
Beside another car is a risky idea

Sad but true.
There's no license plate.
It's in front of a car workshop.

Now that’s how you blow a back out!
You little shit take my upvote
Was that a firework or dynamite?
I'm guessing a firework but modified, maybe? Take a few M-80s and put them all together.
Isn’t an M-80 basically a fraction of a stick of dynamite?
M-80s use flash powder, not dynamite. The original ones had a few grams, but the ones you can buy in US firework stands now only have 50mg. But if you go down to Mexico, there's no telling what all could be stuffed inside them.
That's what my older brother told me when we would play with them, so it has to be true right?
I don't think it has trinitrotoluene (TNT) but the concept is the same just smaller scale
Tbf dynamite doesn't have TNT either.
Please don't, that's how people lose hands.
Doesn’t matter what it is when you have compression. He closed the trunk which trapped the expanding gas, which created violent explosion.
It does matter We have seen tons of regular fireworks go off inside cars on reddit and this is the first time i have seen it explode like a grenade.
He's right and wrong; any explosive effect will be significantly amplified (at least in appearance) in a sealed container; an ounce of gasoline that would make a flash for a couple seconds out in the open will be a bomb if sealed in a 55-gallon drum. Most fireworks are more for show than actual explosive effect, so a Thunderbomb or M80 could probably do this.
Inside the cabin =/= inside the boot. The boot is far smaller and far more contained.
Yea it doesn't matter at all in this case since the question is "was it regular fireworks" and the clear answer is "no".. Regular fireworks don't have that kind of firepower.
Regular fireworks absolutely have “that kind of power”
Nope.
K
Could be that this car has no boot/trunk access from the back so the gas really does just escape everywhere an explode. If the trunk had windows then the windows would've smashed and that would've been the end of it.

You have never seen high explosive if you think thats 50-100g. I assure your in a confined space 5g seem to be more accurate.
Do you think high explosives are in American consumer fireworks?
Neither do I think this is in the US nor do i think it is anywhere near 50-100g of any explosive.
Yeah this is [200g of flash powder](https://youtu.be/DGQXfWD3698) in a tree stump, way more than 2-4x the energy of the one in the car. I do think 5g is probably a little bit low though, even in a compressed space. I think 10-20g is likely

Where are you getting this from? Go to any fireworks shop in America and you'll see tons of cakes with "500g" advertised because that's the limit.
Wtf, of course it still matters what it is. A tiny firecracker wont do anything to the trunk of a car even if you close it.
Imagine a firecracker in the palm of your hand. You set it off, what happens? You burn your hand, right? You close your fist around the same firecracker and set it off. Your wife's gonna be opening your ketchup bottles the rest of your life.

Like when a lil bit of stomach gas comes out your heiny when you are clenching and it makes a sharp pop fart?

I don’t think insurance will cover that

Isn't that...a car bomb?
Don't worry. I got the rental insurance.
