      Did you see the marking 1.1d? That's the same classification that high explosives have. 1.4g is consumer. 1.3g is display grade fireworks.

      shockwave68516 This is not a high explosive and it it NOT detonated like the stupid title says. They have to mark large (massive) low explosives with that label due to the size and volume of just that one shell. No fireworks are really high explosives. I hate when people use detonation incorrectly.

      @mistrchris 8 років тому +93

      When the explosion consists of a fission reaction, rather than just the rapid expansion of burning chemical compounds. I'm sure you're just trying to be funny, but how's that even supposed to be a joke? There's really no comparison whatsoever...

    • @mistrchris
      @mistrchris 8 років тому +44

      +SD Card And you're obviously not observant. I conceded that it must have been a joke, but it was still a terrible one.

    • @mistrchris
      @mistrchris 8 років тому +14

      +SD Card The truth that the joke was terrible. Taking offense to me pointing that out, even though you don't know me (since that seems to be an important consideration to you), indicates that you're much more comfortable in the protection of your own little bubble. Additionally, your vain insults make you no different than how you're accusing me of being. But still, you're obviously a better man than I, despite all evidence to the contrary. I'll leave you to continue believing that.

It was in Comanche Texas, his name was Dr Russell Reynolds. What a good man, what a HUGE tragedy

    Please. There is a very specific definition that is being overlooked here. This is NOT a detonation, this is a deflagration. One of the most magnificent Deflagrations in the History of Mankind. This DEFLAGRATION took many many hours, days, weeks of planning and real work to bring to fruition. It is a true Work of Art. Hats off to those who made it possible, from the Planners, to the Legal Experts, to the Folks Who manufactured this magnificent Piece, to Those Who were Privileged to have Shot It. This DEFLAGRATION is Amazing. This is NOT a detonation. To say so would corrupt the Artistic Intent and the True legal meaning of this Work of Art.

    If you ever do this again I hope you will have someone film it in 4K resolution from several angles. It would definitely add to the presentation.
