Is 80 lbs of tannerite for gender reveal excessive?

[fullmetaljesus]

I wanna see the video of the 80lbs going off

Any amount of tannerite for a gender reveal is excessive! These things are getting as silly as what kids are doing for prom dates. It’s going to take a few deaths before it stops.

I'm no geologist, but I can understand some of the mechanics of the blast.

For instance if this was set off in an old quarry, with lots of rock face to absorb the energy, I could see that energy being readily transferred into the "bedrock" and moving a LOT of that energy through the ground.

Now good luck proving that crack wasnt in your basement wall beforehand. Or maybe it wasnt but was going to reveal itself within 2 years naturally and just needed a nudge due to the already existing natural stresses in play.

I think that 80lbs isnt really enough to do THAT much new damage with no underlying issues already there. This was probably the straw that broke the camels back in most cases.

Now if this was all piled up on a field somewhere, I dont see how you could focus that much energy into the ground to do this kind of serious damage because the bulk of the energy would be directed skyward. It sounds like ignorant folks attributing much more blame than really appropriate.

Still can't belive it would damage the foundation of a house. Sounds like a bunch a Karen's up there.

No foundations were damaged. Maybe popped a few windows close by but no.

We popped off 5lbs at Gala event and it was amazing from 125 yards.

If memory serves me correct a while back a guy blew up a dump truck with 100 pounds of tannerite that set off alarms at a nuclear power plant a mile away.
The cracks was more likely from previous explosions at the quarry and someone is trying to scam the system.

Where did the 80 lbs. come from? I read the article and watched the video but I must've missed it. I mean, it had to be a lot for sure to cause damage to peoples' foundations, but dayum...

Rural King where else

I've used 5lb to get rid of an old stump well several 5lb. It works good.

That's supposed to have been 80lbs

 

[Ark]

Yeah no that's not "cracking foundations" miles away.

IIIIIIIIIIII.....dont think so.

 

[DadSmith]

Supposed to be 164lbs

If that's supposed to be the gender reveal, what gender is "orange"?

 

[tv1217]

Dutch? Are we a gender now?

 

[mikesouth12]

Definitely not a wise thing to do in todays world. Could be defined as a terrorist act. Quite a risk for just a gender reveal.

 

[Winamac]

Just my thoughts...but people doing stupid things like this is what the anti's use as a basis to push for bans. Just my opinion.

That wasn't the gender reveal video it was a video supposed to show what 80lbs looks like going off. What is with the orange color? I'm thinking he didn't get it mixed up right.

I'd party with them.

Rock quarry down the street + owners who probably enjoy guns and/or goofing around + stereotypical New England neighbors = BS news story and claims about damaged property.

And yes I fully know NH is more conservative than other parts of New England (my wife is from there), but there are still plenty of whiny libs within earshot of, say, a quarry full of goofballs. And it was a Boston TV station covering the story.
