@hihiyoyo1000 So thats why your mentally handicapped and can only write 2 seconds at a time without having to take a break with punctuation marks?

[TheVerandaguy]

@PAINmedia Dude, lay off. I mean, if you're going to bash someone's grammar, at least get your own right. "your mentally handicapped." His mentally handicapped what? "Write 2 seconds at a time without having to take a break from punctuation marks?" What does that even *mean*? It's perfectly normal to write brief sentences, and there's technically only one mistake: the first ellipsis should have a fourth period, as it terminates the sentence. The second is false, but a common mistake.

0:22 you pressed too many buttons

[cover887]

It's not exactly an explosion...

[ronaldli5]

A fire like that can be a risk cause it can burn the wire, right?

[Crpetersena]

Lame , though that would have been worse... or more of a flash.. but still good video.



[VideoGuy84]

Tree branch fell across a couple of the phases, and since wood is not a good conductor the branch heats up and starts on fire. Once the fire reaches all the way across it causes the conditions to be right for the power to ionize the air and jump across. But I didn't see any "explosion". Thats my take on it.

@VideoGuy84 Why do people keep calling it explosion?

[heavyboxes]

Powerlines are showing the branch who's boss. Hell yeah.

[SharterdHeart]

This happened near my house the other day, but with a whole tree and really high power lines...there's no more tree there...just a bunch of splintered wood

[c0rrupts3ct0r555]

tree "hmm.. somethings burning!"

tree takes a look "omg, im on fire"

We shall never forget him, pray my friends.

When the flames reach clear across the limb it creates a ionized path. Ionized air has low resistance and conducts enough current to blow the fuse.

Poor branch got blown to bits :(

[MrNaglest12]
