I'm going to guess they didn't have anything stopping the shrapnel from tearing some new holes into their fragile bodies.

petep - 2008-01-08 the products of the thermite reaction are *molten iron* and intense heat. I hope they at least had an umbrella

Chem majors: was the explosion because the thermite was hot enough to sublimate the ice?
|
Repomancer - 2008-01-03 Thermite burns hot enough to break the molecular bond and split the water into hydrogen and oxygen, which recombine in spectacular fashion.
I Almost Got Busted™ once when a cop tried to put out some of the stuff with the garden hose. BANG, and then handcuffs.

Automatic five stars for thermite.

So where does one procure a bucket of thermite, exactly...

Repomancer - 2008-07-12 You can buy it from United Nuclear, among others, or you can just make it yourself. 74% aluminum powder, 26% iron oxide powder by weight (both are available at larger paint stores). Ignite with a magnesium ribbon, or my preferred method, a 4th of July sparkler.
I have a long and funny story about this, but sadly it has vanished from the PoEN forums along with everything else from before 1/1/07.

By law, videos like this one should end with a booming voice yelling "SCIENCE!"
