    Read after you've seen clip



    Cool clip but I dont think they did it,sorry but I dont think it was a continuous wall of fire from beginning to end,the beginning had gone out by the time the end lit theres no way the flame front travelled at 12km per second it took 3seconds for the flame from to travel just the 1km,I think someone got their calculations wrong confused

    thoughts?

    I don't know Rikky there was a continuous "Wall" of flame albeit the start was dieing down as the end was igniting. Also there wasn't really a "Flame Front", more like an explosive front.

    I also think it would have been more impressive if they had staggered the "Fuel Loads" so you wouldn't have the beginning dieing out as the end ignited, they could have gelatinized the fuel for that affect.

    Good Find, thats my take any others?

    Agree with you there BC :)

    I am not convinced either that they managed it :) will have to view it a few more times;)
