I bet you’ve never seen fire burn this slow before. The guys over at UltraSlo have literally taken a half-second action and stretched it out to 45 seconds. I love it! I sometimes wish I could see everything at this speed.

I’ve seen a slow-motion video of a ballistic round being fired from a tank, but nothing compares to this photograph of a tank firing a projectile from the Israel-Gaza border on January 4, 2009. Look at those flames coming out from the end of that gun. Scary! [via]
Dry Christmas trees burn like mad

Christmas has passed already, but knowing the habits of some folks, they’ll probably keep their Christmas trees for another few weeks before tossing them out. If that’s the case, then you better make sure you water it because if you don’t and it somehow catches on fire, you can pretty much kiss your house goodbye.
As seen in this demonstration video from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, a dry Christmas tree can be utterly devastating for any house corner as it will quickly spread fire and black smoke. At one point it looks like the flames are being shot out of a flame thrower!
Here’s another video of a dry Christmas tree fire compared to a Christmas tree on fire that has been fed water. Incredible how intense those flames are on both trees.

A man at Walmart in Kentucky was blasted to the floor when a propane tank in the back of his pickup truck exploded. The whole incident was caught by surveillance cameras and the video is just shocking. The man reportedly survived with some burns to his body. There’s no word on how the propane tank became inflamed.
