dancingshadow      Were they really on fire? I couldn't see any flames.

The Mothership      hell of a place to do a flaming shot.
|
La Loco      Alcohol fire.
|
The Townleybomb      I don't think they were really on fire. I certainly didn't see any flames!
|
Caminante Nocturno      The harder he tries to convince me that there is a fire, the less I believe him.

He enters the first corner too fast, but you cannot see it.

Ursa_minor      They are indeed on fire - hey, you wanna run methanol through your race car, better be ready for some invisible fires. For some invisible fire dance parties on the paddock.
|
Scrotum H. Vainglorious      I think the narrator is trying to tell us something.
|
|
Chalkdust      it's like the kind of essay you wrote when you realized it was due the next day and you hadn't done anything... just restate the thesis in as many ways as possible
|
RockBolt      I knew a guy who did hardwood floors, I don't remember what sort of stain or whatever they used but if it ignited it burned totally clear, you only knew it was happening when you saw the floor turn black, advancing at you very quickly
|
CJH Either alcohol fire or j-horror ghost attack, either way probably a good excuse to get the fuck out of there
|
vissarion      Methinks the lady doth protest too much
|
C. Eloi Marx      The most ridiculous part of this is that methanol replaced gasoline in Indycars as a supposed safety feature, due to the fact that you can put out an (nearly invisible) alcohol fire with water. It all stems from an over-reaction to a fatal gas fire in the early 60s.

Mad Struggle      You're not on fire, Ricky Bobby.

Valkor      During 150/bbl oil it became popular to inject basically vodka into wells to try and improve their performance in some Latin American countries. As far as I know only nationals because the economics worked out well enough for private companies.
One guy's job was sitting at a vantage point to see if anybody starts running in circles for no reason and flailing.
|
Valkor the economics didn't work out well enough
|
Stopheles      Accursed Super-Skrull!

|
CJH      Interesting video, but I wish the narrator had mentioned that in this situation the flames are actually invisible to the human eye, and as such cannot be seen.
|
TheOtherCapnS      RIDDLE ME THIS: If the people are on fire, as the narrator seems to claim, then where are the flames? How can they be on fire if there are no flames to be seen anywhere in this video?
|
Robert DeNegro      Fake.
|
Robin Kestrel      They just all need to be issued brooms.
|
kennydra      Nothing is certain in a world of invisible fire. :(

Squeamish      FIRE YOU CANNOT SEE!
BY CROM, THIS IS FOUL MAGIC!
|
Raggamuffin      You are on fire but you can not see it! This IS a fire. You are receiving this fire from the year 1-9-9-9. We are unable to burn you through conscious neural interference. I repeat. You are on fire but you can not see it!

fedex DAMN THESE HANDS FOR SQUANDERING STARS THAT WERE SO RIGHTFULLY YOURS DEAR XIPHIAS

cognitivedissonance      This sounds like a Commieliberal plot to make us question God.

Syd Midnight      When I was 10 and unsupervised I played around with a rubbing alcohol/water mix in the driveway once. Not only are the flames invisible, it burns at a lower temp than petrol so at first paper and clothing acts as a wick instead of visibly igniting.
My masterpiece was a wet kleenex on invisible fire. I didn't get hurt but I did set the side of the house on fire when the flames hit my fingers and I reflexively tossed it away
|
Hooker      "It really is a terrible problem!" The narrator sounds like he is holding back laughter the whole time.
|
poorwill I love so many of these comments.

kingarthur      Invisible fire soon to be featured in an episode of CSI:Miami. Yeah.
|
Oktay      Invisible you say?
|
JimL2      "YOU cannot see it!" Saturdays at 8, on BBC2.

|
FeeFiFoFoTheFifeFifeBrown I can see it.
|
deadpan      This seems like a real problem. Someone should write a book on what to do when you are engulfed in flames.
|
Nyms Lives!      I did write a book about what to do if engulfed in invisible flames. It was pretty in depth, but the main points could be summed up as:
1.
2.
3.
and of course,
goes without saying, but I had to include it for completeness.
