A burning taxi cab suddenly explodes while firefighters work to put out the blaze. Youtuber alezeb2010 captured this video from Manhattan's upper east side on 70th and 2nd. Fortunately, no one was injured, but don't let that stop you from panicking over the Snowpocalypse. (Via)
Culture Buzz An R2D2 wood burner made from a recycled gas bottle. Good for heating your swamp hut in Degobah or roasting womp rats. Still available on eBay!
Water gun filled with kerosene + Candle + Flammable plant of some sort = Awesomest thing ever (which you should never do because it is insanely dangerous). This is how God made the burning bush. Because God is a bad ass.
Holy smokes! NASA released this image of the Los Angeles fires as seen from a satellite in space. It was taken mid-morning on Aug. 30 and shows the smoke plumes rising approximately 4.3 miles above sea level.
A fire alarm went of while these dudes were practicing, so they built a jam around it. The only thing this little piece of badassery is lacking is footage of all their instruments burning while they play, because, like, shouldn't they be worried about the FIRE?! (Via.)
