The Daily Dot:
We’re glad that 15-year-old Tyler Barlow decided to stick an old barbecue in a grassy field and ignite 5 pounds of thermite on top of it, because the resulting video is super cool.
A fifteen year old kid and 5lbs of thermite – what could possibly go wrong? Turns out, nothing bad because, except for a disturbing lack of safety gear, the kid seems to know what he’s talking about. And the thermite reaction is pretty cool.
The music kicks ass. It’s like a Wesley Willis instrumental trying to channel Raymond Scott.
Am I the only one concerned that 15 yr olds can get their hands on Thermite?
Ain’t America a great country!? 🙂
Just a bit of a reality slap Shawn. When I was 15 it was cool to write luna lander programs in Basic on your TRS-80. Oh how things change. 🙂
He didn’t get his hands on thermite – he acquired the components to make thermite himself.
