It would be interesting to see about 15 seconds after the flames hit the trees. Did it burn down the trees and the car?

@aviatrix2 The tree and the cars are out of range.

@hometurf39 fair enough, i do see the shadow yeah, but i only meant the debris hit the tree, that's what it looks like as all. not fire hitting the tree but small bits of rubbish. but hey, you are right, i wasn't there.

[hometurf39]

@HiimGrumpyChicken Hey buddy you might be seeing the shadow cast by the smoke plume. unless i have no memory of putting out a giant fire on my bosses property or i just cant see then you might be right. but im pretty sure i can see and remember

[HiimGrumpyChicken]

@hometurf39 no i agree with @65maddog1 i can see it does it the tree at the end...

[hometurf39]

@65maddog1 The fact is it didn't hit the trees. It looks like it did. But it didnt. I was there so you can shut up now. Thanks!

[hometurf39]

@65maddog1 And you would know because you were there. Nice try buddy

If this guy had done it right it would have been something to see. If he had mixed the balloon 2/3 hydrogen and 1/3 oxygen wow it would have been something to see. A balloon that size.
