What's hilarious is the dopey looking dude standing there at 0:25 when the fire guy walks over to pick up the container, he says "do that?" and the fireman doesn't even look like he hears him so the guy just goes "good" and puts his hands in his pockets and walks away awkwardly. It just highlights the fact that there was no point in him being there he just wanted to be in the frame and say or do something.
How many idiots kill themselves every year by doing this. Sort of like the guy who called in to ask a turkey question. I wanted all white meat so I bleached my turkey, with clorox bleach. Is it safe to eat? I couldn't believe it when I heard this CBS affiliate from Green Bay, WI. This was quite a few years ago. I would have said, absolutely, gorge yourself good this year.
@gnormhurst No there's no oil on the ground, what ignites first is the oil that spills over the side before the turkey drops. Before the turkey drops water/ice from it drip into the oil causing it to bubble up and spill over the side and hit the heat source causing the initial fire on the ground, a few moments before the turkey drops.
@glags I think that it explodes because the hot oil causes the frozen turkey to sublimate (going from frozen to gas instantly - skipping liquid), and the gas pours over and ignites. I may be wrong.
@burr1aj It doesn't cause the turkey to sublimate, but rather it does insta-boil/sublimate the water on the turkey.
THIS fire though happened because they neglected archamedi's principle that an object displaces liquids equal to its volume. The first thing to remember before filling your container of hot oil is: a turkey needs to go in here, and so don't fill the oil to the brim.
I think this is what happens when a Balrog orgasms.

It looks like the oil on the ground ignites just *before* the turkey touches the pot. I guess they really wanted a dramatic demo.

Put turkey in fryer
Fill with water till it just covers turkey
Remove turkey
Measure from the top of the fryer to the water line
Pour out water
Now fill with oil to the water line level you just measured
Heat up oil and slowly submerge turkey
Congratulations! You just fried a turkey and didn't burn your house down.
This technique is only effective if you have had 3 beers or less.

looks more like the oil was at the top of the barrel, so it could have easy completly overflowed, thus teh oil would wburn

A large "explosion" occurs because the oil spills? That's hardly an explosion but the results are impressive anyway. Thanks for sharing.
