Stay to the end for context and bonus soundtrack evil.

That pushed this over the top for me.

I was not prepared for that

Holy shit, the driver

Uhhh, hey guys, I'm on fire here.


Frank Rizzo - 2010-05-26

HEY GUYS THIS ASPHALT IS ON FIRE!!!!


Potrod - 2010-05-26

Eh, I'm not an expert but it looks like the rescue workers did the best they could with what they had. It took the fire truck a long time to get there but who knows how much good that one little hose would have done anyway, and it may have been on the other end of the track.

For all the making fun of the fire extinguishers, once they got about a dozen of them on the car they actually started working pretty well.


Adham Nu'man - 2010-05-26

Well, they were doing an acceptable job at first, suffocating the fire with foam in around 1 minute.
Then at 1:35 the guy nearest to the car on its foamy puddle side drives air into the foam layer, breaking the barrier and reigniting the fire.

That was a shitty move.

They also tried to put out a gas fire using a power washer.

Think of the tragedy that would have resulted if those first responders had had to deploy a high pressure firehose


Potrod - 2010-05-27

I see what you mean at 1:35, but by that time the guy is already out of the car, so, while dumb, I don't think the driver is going to care about that.


FABIO - 2010-05-26

I'm no expert, BUT...


1. Isn't a 3+ minute response time for the fire truck extremely awful? Why even fucking bother at that point? The only thing you're going to save after that long is some asphalt.

2. I understand eventually wanting to foam every bit of surface due to re ignition, but shouldn't you START with suppressing the fire in the car? Half the crew is busy spraying the track while the car itself is still an inferno.


Jesus christ, it's like watching the banana suit fire team all grown up with jobs.


The Mothership - 2010-05-26

Are you ready to rock?

At the end they memorialize the car with a song that my brain translates automatically into Creed.
