Re: Cramming Too Much Fire At The Fire Factory*
Look at the 28 second mark. He reaches up to his face and flings away gobs of molton goo. You can see this goo hit the ground at his feet and stay ablaze as he shambles forward. The guy is definitely covered in liquid molten metal. |

Re: Cramming Too Much Fire At The Fire Factory*
William May, thanks for taking the time to share your (extensive) foundry knowledge. But I am not buying the "hollow chocolate easter bunny" model entirely. A 1/4" thick coat of glowing metal would cook him in seconds, don't you think? Like steam coming out of his brains thru his ears quick. I propose he got a very thin glaze coating of molten metal that stuck to his clothes, setting them ablaze, like a flaming Chinese glazed donut. The flaming shit from his face was his face mask ablaze. Just my .02. I was in a small foundry in 1991 that made small castings for medical joint replacements and Harley Davidson parts. It was less than 1% the size of the foundry in the video, and even that melted me when I walked 25 feet from it. I don't know how that guy in the video could get so close. |

No doubt. I was flipping my lid searching through every second of Blue Velvet trying to find this song. I was so sure it was in there somewhere. It's not on any of Koko Taylor's releases either, just this one soundtrack. I wonder if it was specifically recorded for Wild At Heart, like part of the score. Those Nicholas Cage renditions of Elvis songs obviously were, that excellent metal track by Powermad was as well I think. David Lynch is really well connected in the music industry; he even got Nine Inch Nails all together to play one out the coolest episode of the new season of Twin Peaks. "Gotta Light?"

Re: Cramming Too Much Fire At The Fire Factory*
Okay, it wasn't 1/4" thick. (And it wasn't Chocolate, either!) It may have been only 1/16" thick. But the glob he rubs off is pretty large. The problem with molten metal is that it sears itself on, (just like a yummy steak hitting the grill) the initial surface cools enough to solidify, and the metal above that surface area stays molten, and of course, stays hot. You can see that the fire extinguisher didn't do anything at all. I think, from reading the Nazi experiments, that the human body is self-igniting above 800 degrees F. That was one of the ways they burned those huge piles of bodies that they didn't feed into crematoriums. (You read about the camp crematoriums all the time, but it's rarely mentioned that late in the war, when things were going badly, the Nazis started excavating all the mass graves from the 30's and 40's, and burning those bodies. They built stacks of lumber, and placed all the bodies on top, and, like I said, they were self-sustaining after the body fat lit off. The camps were bad enough, but having to dig up bodies and burn them must have been the worst possible misery for the camp prisoners) (They didn't have enough gas to burn them, they had to use wood.) (Which the prisoners could cut) I think he was probably cooked through by the time any help arrived. As someone else commented, this is about the worst death I have seen on here. |

Re: Cramming Too Much Fire At The Fire Factory*
If you would like to hear about a worse death, for some reason, Caitlin Dougherty has a video on her Ask a Mortician channel where she describes, in her opinion, two of the worst ways to die. It's absolutely horrifying! It has adjusted my barometer for suffering quite a lot.

Re: Cramming Too Much Fire At The Fire Factory*
Aaagh, ya beat me to it! This is exactly why I'm always memorizing fire extinguisher locations in my workplaces. Not so that I can be a hero, but so that I can be a hero and then yell at all of the panicky dumbasses from atop my high horse afterwards. |
