Holy c***, poor bear. Some more good videos over there...

I once had electric pole near my window blow up on me.
Wood became rotten enough for one insulator to just fall out and tangle with another nearby wire.
There was a large flash, bang, shower of sparks and substaation fuse went out immediately.

The pole was unacessable for practically any vehicle, and they just tied the insulator back with some wire. It stands like that still today.

Geez Steve.

What was the guy with spray can trying?
Is it me or it looks like he created a small flashover in the beginning?
If anyone can translate the text?

Not fires in general sense, but some conflargation involving humans it is.

Link2 - human fireballs

Watched all these vids during my 4 hour break today... some pretty spectacular ones, like when that metal roof started sparking all around the house. People on youtube (interent in general) say the most idiotic things... they are entertaining though!

Yes, Youtube comments are proof that evolution runs backwards as well as forwards.

and it also illustrates the fact that evolution is like acceleration....backwards or forwards, positive or negative, it's still the same thing, no such thing as "deacceleration" or "devolving"
