Worlds tallests bonfire, Slinningsbålet, being lit in about 10 minutes - Livestream - General

[QUOTE=elowin;50593391]why are we burning a giant stack of wood[/QUOTE] you goof it's to keep the witch away and to get good farming yields

[QUOTE=lekkimsm;50593566]Nope. Except 2013, it has toppled every year, when they REALLY light it hard. [editline]25th June 2016[/editline] [IMG]http://pix.avaxnews.com/avaxnews/16/b0/0000b016_medium.jpeg[/IMG][/QUOTE] That's sick. I'm really surprised they let people that close to it then.

I dunno why I had the sound on, I couldn't understand a word haha

There are some really sweet looking boats out there too. They should point out the nicest boats while it gets going.

[QUOTE=SoUl_ReApEr2;50593583]I dunno why I had the sound on, I couldn't understand a word haha[/QUOTE] Well fuck son, they just put on the sweet norwegian summer jams!

Welcome to the Norwegian music and boat show.

Is boat ownership common in Norway or are they just the elite that can afford to "break out another thousand"

[QUOTE=kapin_krunch;50593578]That's sick. I'm really surprised they let people that close to it then.[/QUOTE] sacrifices to the fire

Anything less than this for music is a travesty. [video=youtube;A_sY2rjxq6M]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_sY2rjxq6M[/video]

[QUOTE=lekkimsm;50593597]Well fuck son, they just put on the sweet norwegian summer jams![/QUOTE] I'll start waving my lighter

This is probably the least fitting music for a giant inferno. They should play the music from E1M1 or something. Maybe they will transition into something heavier when the fire gets going proper.

What a comfy stream

What the fuck, why are they spraying it? It's already taking forever to burn. [editline]June 25th 2016[/editline] I'll bet it's to help control the burn the right way, huh? That's seems like a safe assumption.

What the fuck. Are they trying to put it out already?

WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY SPRAYING IT WITH WATER NOW?!

The water won't stop it, I bet it makes it last longer or something.

Probably to stop it spreading all the way down so fast that it causes it to fall over. But hey this is very comfy, I can't understand most of what is ever spoken though.

Looks like they're increasing safety distance on the water now?

[QUOTE=Blind Weasel;50593517][t]http://i.imgur.com/IY6QZLW.png[/t][/QUOTE] Looks like a NiN album cover

Nice they lighted it while still somewhat in the light so it is fully ablaze when its dark

Sure is starting to pick up now. It probably wont be long before large chunks of burning wood and embers will fall down inside the whole thing and cluster-ignite the tower randomly

[url=http://www.smp.no/nyheter/2016/06/23/Slinningsb%C3%A5let-minutt-for-minutt-12937808.ece]Here's an alternative stream, this one seems to be focused solely on the fire.[/url] For those of you who don't want to stare at a bunch of boats and whatnot. [editline]June 25th 2016[/editline] Seems to be burning rather fairly now and it's been about 56 minutes.

Oh, that's probably why they're watering it down, to prevent the cluster-ignitions too far down... [editline]25th June 2016[/editline] Ooh, large chunks starting to come down now

Speaking of clusters, looks like the base is already catching on fire. [editline]June 25th 2016[/editline] Oh yeah, it's raining fiya'. [img_thumb]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b257/Cureless_Poison/Raining%20fire.png~original[/img_thumb]

[QUOTE=Cureless;50593943]Speaking of clusters, looks like the base is already catching on fire.[/QUOTE] They're putting it out by the looks of it though. Guess they want it to not catch at the bottom and completely topple.

[QUOTE=kapin_krunch;50593968]They're putting it out by the looks of it though. Guess they want it to not catch at the bottom and completely topple.[/QUOTE] sure would be a damn waste if it did topple already [editline]25th June 2016[/editline] Aw, and the sunset in the background ... Sigh

why not make it a pyramid...... also that music, ugh

[QUOTE=Killuah;50594024]why not make it a pyramid...... also that music, ugh[/QUOTE] Yeah pffh, some german schlager would really have done the trick, right? [video=youtube;cjvROXRPkLc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjvROXRPkLc[/video]

I was rooting for some mellow Jazz but whatever floats your boat(heh) I guess
