Unfortunately, this is staged. If he was standing on lava hot enough to set fire to his poo poo, his feet would be sinking into it. They put some lighter fluid on his tripod and shoes and set him on fire to get the shot.

Ol Standard Retard posted:Lava is like three times denser than human you don't sink into lava You sink into it until you displace a weight of lava equal to yours. Given that lava is pretty dense, you wouldn’t sink very far. But you’d still sink a bit, just like a cork or piece of pumice sinks slight into water. Look at where the guy’s feet are, there’s not even an indentation. That’s totally solid lava.

Evilreaver posted:I've got a huge patch of DC infesting my backyard, any suggestions? If I were to connect the transformers, my back yard *is* infested with 12vDC. My house was once the model home for the neighborhood back in '74. It had electric Tiki lights in the back and front yard according to my neighbors that have lived there since the '70s. They are long since gone, but I run into the buried cables occasionally. Who knows how they were wired or how much of the run would still go live if I plugged the transformers in. The wires weren't cut at the house, you can see where they go down front and rear.

Might be fun to borrow one of those cable tracers they use to find gas lines ("from who" is left as an exercise for the reader) and see if you can trace the active runs.

But the reason I think they put some lighter fluid on it to make it look more dramatic is because that's what he told the press he did when the photo first came out.

Yeah also like wouldn't you be boiling / burning off faster than you could actually contact the surface? At least til you got to a bone.

The crust can’t be that hot or it would be glowing. I’m not saying that the photo definitely isn’t staged or otherwise faked, but it’s possible for the ground to be hot enough to ignite plastics but not hot enough to instantly turn anything that touches it into plasma.

It's important that he's standing on the cooled surface. You couldn't safely stand on red-hot lava at all, but if you've got the right clothes you can absolutely temporarily stand on a cooled skin over red-hot lava. The problem is even the 'skin' is still going to be fairly hot, and there's a lot of heat radiating in the air, so spontanious combustion is a concern and you should be wearing fireproofed stuff and not getting too close to the 'fresh' lava. If you touched red-hot lava you wouldn't melt, but you would be, like, on fire, a lot, all over. Even slow and relatively quiet lava flows will burn everything in their path, it's just in places like Hawaii the path is quite set, already has any flammable burned out of it, and goes right to the ocean to cool off the lava.  Usually.

I think the asphalt in this picture is actually catching and holding fire a lot more than the grass? Pretty interesting. The grass probably just goes right up and doesn't sustain a flame very well.

Asphalt can be flammable in the right conditions at several hundred degrees if applied rapidly to limit vaporization (depending heavily on the mix, age, etc).

Breakfast All Day posted:Asphalt can be flammable in the right conditions at several hundred degrees if applied rapidly to limit vaporization (depending heavily on the mix, age, etc). There are a number of accounts of asphalt streets in German cities liquefying and catching on fire during WWII, with predictable results for people who tried to flee through them. For example during the bombing of Hamburg the weather conditions were just right so that a 300 meter tall fire tornado formed and some parts of the city got as hot as a blast furnace. I recall one account by a German firefighter who had the glass lenses on his helmet/mask start to melt.

I recall one account by a German firefighter who had the glass lenses on his helmet/mask start to melt. That was during the first 'Thousand Bomber raid' where about ten thousand tons of incendiary explosives were dropped on the downtown core; the resultant firestorm was so massive that the updrafts knocked bombers out of position like they were playthings, and the streets acted as wind tunnels. There were multiple accounts of people being bodily picked up and flung into the firestorm by the wind, and the fire tornado burnt through a literal nine square mile chunk of the city. And then the raids continued; by the end of the war, pretty much every part of Hamburg had been burnt to the ground or vigorously exploded.

No he didn't drown in lava, or get caught in an explosion, he lit himself on fire to take a f-in rad selfie. Unlike True American Hero Robert Landsberg, who used his last living moments to advance science.
