…But will it blend?
he had it in earl so it would be fine in air
you said raw sodium! raw sodium will explode in like .001 seconds in a paile of water, and in about a minute if un protected when exposed to normal air
I was just about to ask a question and then I read the description
I’d love to see what you guys did with that Toluene.
hey can you send me this video via email? my email is winniedapooh3331998@gmail.com

@kahluathekinkajou It isn’t that reactive.
We did this in science class yesterday.. The teacher put a little tiny bit in, and we were like ‘Put it all in!!’ and then BOOM… there’s a hole in the desk now
I did this in science class today
he cuts the pice like butter lol
My math teacher got expelled from his school by doing this on campus…He’s my hero.
shouldnt the sodium be catching on fire when it touches the moisture in the air?
DON’T TOUCH IT WITH YOUR HANDS DUMBASS
@mcginty100 Most likely, their science lab.
@mcginty100 What the hell kind of rock do you live under? Anybody can get anything off the internet now.
@alnilam66 it’s completely legal
if you throw it in the river it could blow up a bridge
I know they dont have a haz mat permit for this
where do whacky teenagers get their hands on pure sodium?
what if it started to rain?
@guicapone2 This is 1947.
I just realized that the audio of this newsreel was used in LA Noire, while driving around town.
It would have been more dramatic if they catapulted the barrels into the lake instead of rolling them down the hill. Just sayin.
So nobody would accept the containers for shipment to a purchaser, yet they were able to transport them to the lake. Seems like they could have found a way to sell the stuff. Then again, if they hadn’t figured out about packing the sodium in kerosene to keep it safe, it just would have gone into a warehouse and blown up there.
Dumb people. they should have gotten rid of it in an environmentally friendly manner.
@Crabjesus Actually it’s mostly concentrated aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. Corrosive, but not flammable, of course.
I wouldn’t like to be in that cloud’s path, that’s for sure.
I’d imagine that the surroundings were covered in baking soda deposits in the next few days. Probably a shitful of butterflies came to feast upon it.
@guicapone2 I think it’s not because it was the same man, but because they used that same style over and over again, and their recording devices were mono microphones with old technology. That would give this irritating, pompous yelling which strips the voice of its natural “color”, so mostly everyone sounds the same.
@Kadda67
Nothing
You know your connection is a waste when the video buffers at 240p … FML
and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and
why is this narrator voice everywhere in 1920ish vidoes???
@alexcranson Do you believe everything the government tells you? Sheesh people, lookt at this gullible fool.
(I didn’t really listen to it because EXPLOSIONS)
@ephex How would they be fishing if they said there were no fish in the lake making it a perfect disposal site?
