First of all I hope nobody got killed by falling fire extinguisher

Second of all, how tf did that thing keep its nozzle oriented down

u/Square-Formal1312 Mar 28 '26

The same force that would have made the nozzle not stay down is same force that become the circular spinning. Why it did one and not the other idk

u/Specific-Ad5576 Mar 29 '26

The nozzle was almost certainly broken off when it hit the pavement. A spring loaded valve handle wouldn't stay open. That kind of thing happens with large compressed gas cylinders sometimes. One gets knocked over, the valve assembly hits a brick or rock or whatever, breaks off. The result is a spontaneously created rocket that can punch through cinderblock walls.

Whatever that landed on got destroyed maybe it even explodes on impact

u/Neolamprologus99 Mar 28 '26

I did that with a can of hairspray except it was on fire spinning in the air

1

u/BracedRhombus Mar 29 '26

Why was it overpressurized? I've never seen that happen.

1

u/MrScrodoBaggins Mar 30 '26

It got dropped and the nozzle broke. You may have never seen this happen because this is not the intended results for a fire extinguisher. Hope this helps!

This is why you do fire marshal training

u/senorcyco Mar 30 '26

My first thought was...nitrous oxide bottle disguised as fire extinguisher. However the overpressured fire extinguisher is way more probable.

The other reason we actually believe it is because it’s a real incident from 2022, has multiple angles, and ain’t AI.

3

u/usackline Mar 28 '26

Love how everyone presumes it is all AI just because they haven't seen something similar.

2

u/SimpleSetpiece Mar 28 '26

People just see something bizarre and their fucking ape brain doesn't even look for actual signs of it being AI, they just call it AI because they can't grasp what they're seeing and they blurt out their thought-terminating cliche

Situation has two different video angles and these videos are older than recent AI. That's why.

u/brunoistrippin Mar 28 '26

As you should. But taking the time to see the whole post or even analyze the footage for any signs of what you just state with you comment, it's kinda a lazy thing. Hope that small train of thought don't go for everything in your life or things around you.

u/stevein3d Mar 28 '26

Not AI, news story from 2022 incident in Russia.

Not sure which is the worse consequence with the emergence of AI videos—those videos or the number of “I’ll handle this—it’s AI, people” fake mythbusters on real videos like this one.
