ANGROR has been appeased.

For crying out loud! What is going on with the trolls lately? They are crawling out of the woodwork...
ROFL! Thanks for making my day! :-)
Best response yet. We need a big red graphic of this phrase to send to those who e-mail us Give Bush a Brain forwards and such sore loser mailings.
From the source site:
A power arc to ground on the Low Voltage side of this substation creates an arcing fault that behaves like an uncontrollable welding torch from Hell, chewing up everything in its path. Protection hardware either fails to open the High Voltage side or is unable to sense the presence of the fault. Excessive current eventually causes the windings on the substation's power transformer to overheat, severely cooking its innards and causing the mineral oil inside to begin violently boiling. In a vain attempt to prevent the transformer's tank from exploding, pressure release valves vent clouds of superheated oil vapor which subsequently ignites and explodes in a ball of flame. A phase to phase short circuit occurs, perhaps caused by a flashover within the flames or a heat induced fault in the transformer. This causes an expulsion fuse to blow with a flash and a resounding BANG, finally killing power to the substation.
However, by this time, the weakened transformer's tank fails, and it spills hundreds of gallons of flaming mineral oil onto the already devastated substation. Local firefighters can only watch from a distance since there's no way to safely fight this fire, and the substation is a total loss. As one fireman quipped, "Firemen don't mess with their wires, and linemen don't mess with their fires". A very sobering look at the explosive power silently lurking within the quietly humming substation in your neighborhood...
Fun with scale models! That's cool!
All I can say is WOW. That was a Zot to behold!
Go back to your sub-human friends at DU!
BTW, BUSH WON!!
KERRY LOST!
GO CRY!
Scale models? I'm not following your meaning. It's actually a power substation blowing.
PS I admit if proper spelling is a sign of intelligence I am a moron
No, no. It's the hanging around where you're clearly not welcome that makes you a moron.
I think you've been hoaxed. About half way through it, there is a shot of fuel, hence the black smoke from the ensuing fireball. Right near the end, you can clearly see a shadow of a person reaching over the model, presumably to extinguish the fuel introduced halfway through the cilp. Also, why is there laughter from an audience right before the bogus "calling all available units" type radio call.
There is no way this is a real substation blowing, unless it weere situated on top of a 5000 gallon fuel storage tank and 800' tall men are walking around.
I don't know about how much of a sign of intelligence the occasional typo is, but the inability to communicate the SUBJECT of this waste of bandwidth is definitely a sign that you're intellectually challenged.
Next time you go to the public library, try reading a book. Work on developing some communications skills. Come back here when you've grown up and have something to say.
You're nuts. The video is from this site, where there are other videos of fun stuff. Given the nature of the site and its contents, I see no reason to believe its a hoax. I think its you who are imagining things. The "shot of fuel" comes from the ruptured transformer, which are oil-filled. Prior to the big explosion, you can clearly see the vaporized oil spewing out. Check out the site and the description of the video. As for the "shadow of a person", I have watched this video dozens of times, and watched it four more times just now to try and find what you're referring to. In all honesty, I can't find anything in the clip that even faintly resembles a "shadow of a person". Finally, the "laughter from an audience", to anyone who watches the video, is clearly the screaming of frightened female onlookers.
While there certainly are hoaxes on the 'net, not every video is.
Great graphic and SAVED to the HD. I love Puss in Boots so much the the pic of him doing the Sad Eyes routine is the wallpaper on at least three desktops.
With the Ohio results again showing that George W Bush, not John F'n Kerry, is President-elect, the trolls present themselves for our entertainment.
Zotting is such great fun.
Had to get his Mom to spell check for him.
Are you for real?
