Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
Battle Creek Michigan Air Show Jet Truck Explosion

Hard to tell what happened from that video...were there 2 seperate incidents at the same time? Looked like the truck blew up, but then when the camera panned left, there was a huge fire and smoke seemingly nowhere near the truck.

That's exactly what the description in the video says.......reading is hard.
The description says the explosions are separate, and not related? Curious if the exposions were related, seems unlikely they are not. Maybe you can tell us, since you are so good at reading.

If you watch and listen carefully, on the driver rear...........right after the parachute deploys you hear several pops. You can see the driver side rear wheels get closer to the ground ( which indicates the tires blew up). This explains the pan to the right and subsequent flip. I would bet some money that the tires failed on the driver rear.
In the video, @ 20sec-21sec is where the tires blow............you can see pieces fly up in the air right after the pop
I bet if you wash your pussy and you wont be so angry.
