Trying to figure out if that's ERA cooking off, or if that tank is hosed.

i get that it can be confusing when something blows up near you, but im not too sure the correct course of action is to stand up and gather in a school circle to discuss what to do next. assad needs some better ttps for his boys is what im saying

I'm really struggling to understand how this happened. Even factoring in the ammonium nitrate airbag inflators are supposed to be considered Class 9, because they've gone through testing (by an independent agency, not the manufacturer) to verify that they aren't supposed to have any of the characteristics of Hazard Class 1 (explosives). Even the defective ones just deflagrated more rapidly than designed, which caused an over-pressure and the whole flinging of shrapnel into people's faces. They didn't detonate.

This poo poo was a loving mass detonation. Unless Takata has started packing their airbags with Tritonal this shouldn't have happened.

Maybe truck fuel + airbag detonators=boom?

Second one looks like it maybe hit the berm beside the tank? Also wtf is he aiming at in the third one? Is there a tank there or is he aiming for dudes when he has two tanks sitting like 20 feet away?

There is no way that wasn't Abu Hajaar's idea.



e: that looks almost more like a prank than an actual weapon :v:

If Abu Hajaar was involved it would have exploded on takeoff and maimed everyone in the area. This just needs improved munitions!

Why haven't we invented aircraft based anti SAM missiles yet? Can't imagine it'd be too hard to take down one of those big rear end missiles and it's not like they can take evasive maneuvers.

I'm wondering if the driver may have been injured by successful hits, since they crashed into the Humvee rather than detonating immediately or charging a BMP.

Pretty sure that was a BMP that they rammed. There's a humvee on the right that almost hits a BMP while they're both fleeing the truck bomb and there's another to the left that was pretty close to the blast but the ones that were closest were BMPs.

Think they survived?

If I understood twitter correctly it's a spin released clusterbomb that released too high. So instead of everything coming out a relatively short distance from the container and leaving little to no space in the middle it got flung out really far away making a huge donut strike.

I bet at least a semi-effective treatment could be developed for it, there's a paper here about an experiment treating DMM poisoning in rats: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20688495

My understanding is it absorbs all of the selenium in your brain, which your brain needs to live. OTOH selenium is toxic in large amounts so I wonder how hard it would be to counteract the DMM without poisoning the patient in a different way.

There's only been 3-4 cases of people being poisoned by it ever since it's pretty rare anyone ever uses the stuff.

I'm pretty sure the Egyptian dude jumps out of the cab at the last second. Not sure if the cab could've survived that much weight but I'd sure as gently caress take my chances inside the reinforced roll cage than outside if a building is falling on me.

As far as the helicopter crash goes it looks like the helicopter is clear of the power lines? Looks like the tail rotor just up and fell off.
