Popular Post impulse Posted December 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2014 I freely admit that I've done stupider. It's only by the grace of God I'm still here to post. Alas, I suspect He had higher plans for me than posting on TV when He saved me from myself those many times. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ExPratt Posted December 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2014 Ive seen similar stupidity. A safety officer in Taiwan decided to give a demonstration of how to use a CO2 fire extinguisher. 300 people in the yard , an oil drum cut long ways and filled with chunks of wood and a bit of petrol poured on for good measure. The safety officer leaned over the fire with the CO2 extinguisher held the nozzle about 2mm from the fire and gave it the full 5 second burst. The first 10 rows of the audience were showered with flaming petrol soaked timber blocks and were screaming and running about trying to put of small fires on their overalls. I watched it from the office with another Farang. I must say we found it all rather amusing When they do something stupid in this part of the world its usually a classic 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Robson Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Even "experts" are not immune. Fire training involved setting fire to a derelict house in USA. Poured gasoline in all the rooms, waited too long so the house filled with an explosive atmosphere! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dSpoUUFBBM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to the fireman who was caught in the blast? He escaped I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
