it looks like some sort of tiny fuel-air bomb. I think the black smoke at the start is the fuel-air mixing.

The one time I ever went go-karting at a legit track, everyone got mad at me for doing exactly that but I was just a small guy and also it was my bachelor party so nobody did anything. I was just channeling my inner Wario.

Nah, it was a fuel-air bomb like the others said, apparently using several jerrycans, and tens of liters of gasoline. But it was indeed in the Netherlands, in a very rural area, so you can be sure the guys also engage in carbidschieten.

I am hoping this is a decent place to ask the following question:

Nearby there is a large glass and steel office building (5 stories I think) that is in the process of being torn down. There was a strange piece of equipment that I finally got to see in action. It was basically a tube on the end of a 40 foot boom lift. I drove by yesterday while they were actively demolishing the building. That tube appeared to be spraying/misting water towards the section being demoed. It was being demoed by a weight on a crane, after the glass had been removed.

Is this regular practice for destroying large concrete buildings? Or are they maybe trying to keep something a little more harmful than concrete dust from spreading around? If it matters, directly next to this building a large subdivision of brand new homes and townhomes just went up and are still being built over the past year. So it might just be trying to get ahead of complaints from the builder and/or new home owner.

I don’t think the new owner of the office builder land has approval from the city to actually build anything there yet. I read some media stories that they want to build warehouses, but the city wants to keep it more productive commercial than warehouses.

It’s the old Lucent HQ in Naperville IL, for anyone in that area.

Specifically, in that case, they're spraying to keep silica dust from the concrete demo from going everywhere on site and over the neighborhood. Long term exposure to silica dust is bad and can lead to silicosis, but as long as it's on the ground and dampish and not in a massive dust cloud it's pretty harmless and will just mix in with the soil.

If they were dealing with something worse, like lead paint or asbestos, there'd be actual containment measures, such as tarps and negitive air filters. Letting any of that kinda stuff out into the environment and not properly containing it usually comes with angry government people and large fines

It�s important to balance the risk reduction associated with not being within spitting distance of an erupting volcano with the mental health impacts of missing out on something so awesome.

This is probably a dumbass comment but if they are so concerned about how drivers pass and block each other why are they on the track at the same time? Shouldn't they do like, time trials? Would be much safer. :colbert:

Yeah, it's this. It's pretty straightforward to make something in the far distance look huge, and looming close to something in the middle distance, as long as you can keep everything in a line. Basically you just stand way back and use a zoom lens.
