View Full Version : What the hell!
Hitting shot shell primers with a framing hammer doesn't old a candle too this...

Maybe those guys could get a job at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

As they were taping the stuff on, carefully putting on the tape, my demo instructor's words kept on echoing though my head:
"A neat charge is a happy charge."
:D
There's nothing quite like watching a foolish plan being executed brilliantly.

I'm amazed at the whole thing. I couldn't initially tell what the explosives were being mounted to, or what was actually going on around them before the camera panned out. I thought perhaps some sort of firework display/M80 type thing. When I actually saw the genius and his hammer that was one thing. When I saw everyone doing the same thing...we'll hell, I just don't know what to say. That there can be that many morons in one place (other than at the democratic national conventions) was just shocking. Oh well, keep at it boys, eventually you'll get the gene pool cleaned out.:eek:
It's our neighbors to the South.
San Juan de la Vega, Guanajuato, Mexico.
This town is also known for its unique exploding sledgehammer festival. The celebration is called "Hammer of Thor" Originally designed to celebrate the Greek God Thor, now used to celebrate the saint of the community in San Juan de la Vega Celaya in Guanajuato Mexico.

Very interesting JJ. I could only say, my mother would not approve. Just another reason to tighten the borders.

I thought Thor was Nordic, not Greek. While I can imagine a Greek doing this, I somehow cannot envision it being attempted by a Norseman.
Thor is the good of thunder, and he wields a hammer!
Fun noisemakers, but I wonder where the head of the sledgehammer ended up?
It looks like low explosives, nothing that would generate splinters. Notice that the "anvil" he is using is a railroad tie plate. Those are cast, not forged, and tend to be brittle. High explosives would shatter them.
Demo men, take notice.

That can't be right, it wouldnt have cost 6 billion then. They would have done it for 3 :p
