Burma Shave

I'm not sure, but if you listen closely, you can hear a lot of variations of "holy shiat!" in Burmese

Yikes. That looks lethal.

嘿，你们都看这个"缅甸

How did neither of those cameras get hit by something

borg: 嘿，你们都看这个"缅甸

...So are you Chinese or Japanese?

"Meowwwwwwww"

Heartily approve

I enjoyed the guy at 1:24 squealing with pleasure.

Arkanaut: borg: 嘿，你们都看这个"缅甸

...So are you Chinese or Japanese?

And would you say you have dirty knees?

Arkanaut: borg: 嘿，你们都看这个"缅甸

...So are you Chinese or Japanese?

That's traditional Chinese.

Brilliant!

"I don't often send balloons into crowds, but when I do, I power them with rockets"

The crowd doesn't seem to mind at all.
"We paid for these tickets, we're staying"

Ah. Fire Balloons. Brazil's wonderful contribution to civilization. Providing safe haven to Josef Mengele wasn't enough; they had to invent these monstrosities.

Same as in any language.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

That would have been sooooo awesome on shrooms.

I LOL'd pretty hard at the second video, because all of the people dancing below it right before it rained down its fiery destruction reminded me of that scene from Independence Day and the people welcoming the aliens on the roof of the skyscrapers.

/welcome to Earf

i'll be back, i got an idear

1:29 in the second video, one whizzes right by the camera!

almandot: How did neither of those cameras get hit by something

It got damn close in the second video. I ducked under my deck when I saw it coming!

borg: 嘿，你们都看这个"缅甸

"Hey, you look at the Myanmar"?

I have to wonder if people died. Anyone got links?

God-is-a-Taco: The crowd doesn't seem to mind at all.
"We paid for these tickets, we're staying"

That's the greatest part. So many people just running AT the damn fireball..

So.. what were they expecting to happen?

OOOOhhhh!! AAAhhhh!!

/ hope no one got hurt

reft: I have to wonder if people died. Anyone got links?

Yeah I just checked and I can't find any more info on this. It looks really farking scary.

Ok that was the stupidest idea i have ever seen with a hot air balloon.

The balloon pilot is wanted for questioning. The Burmese police have released this photo:



_{/Hot like a fireball}

Looks like people got messed up.

Ooooo ahhhhh

Lonestar: Ok that was the stupidest idea i have ever seen with a hot air balloon.

Agreed.

What was it supposed to do? Fly higher and then rain fireworks down on the crowd?

Cameraman fails for not saying, "Oh the humanity."

ManRay: What was it supposed to do? Fly higher and then rain fireworks down on the crowd?



It was supposed to have a much larger circle of death.

I see someone else forgot to convert kilograms into gallons.

Did you hear the one about the Burmese maiden looking for a Mandalay?

"Check out these pythons"

Why the hell were so many people walking and running TOWARD it when it was obvious something was wrong??

People are stupid, so if you find yourself in a crowd and they all start doing something that seems like a bad idea, do the opposite.

Feeling a little silly if nothing goes wrong beats being burned to death any day.

Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt!

That would be "kreeang aht zhlo đlang"

Someone got burned severely, no way did someone NOT get burned severely.

"Hey, you look at the Myanmar"?

Some people called Burmese they go the house?

I wonder if J. Peterman was there...

Oh my God in Burmese sounds just like it does in English.

I posted this 2 hrs before brap in a redlit thread. I has a sad

Fireworks are dangerous
If they're on a balloon
If you're not careful
They'll bring doom

Burma...

When I was a young'un it took 5 pretty good sized helium balloons to get an M-80 with a cigarette fuse to float away.

Maybe if Karl Rove had been in the basket, they would have had more lift.
