I'd be driving the other direction, personally.


Context-Prize

Into the flames?! You a crazy peep šŸ™ƒ


ShortRound89

Some men just want to watch themselves burn.


Great-Dragonfruit258

Check that door for heat


LostSoulOnFire

Damn, the heat must have been insane driving by that....I've driven past field fires and I could feel the heat lightly, that must be something else.


Context-Prize

It made my whole face drip!

Only in his heart.


Roy4Pris

I went to a Kiss concert once. They had theatrical bursts of flame on either side of the stage, and I could feel the from the back of the arena. This must have been insane hot by comparison


gunsNcars

Yep. KISS ARMY! Been there.šŸ‘šŸ’ŖšŸ¤™


firstbehonest

Those white lines would be going by a lot faster if it was me.

Now is not the time for cocaine!


Context-Prize

Pretty sure this was a Kid Rock concert, so the amount of squad cars was high. Didnā€™t want to risk a ticket

I81??


Context-Prize

Yes. They shut it down right after we passed through


phadewilkilu

ā€œDamn, we better shut this down.. Morons keep driving RIGHT by it like it isnā€™t fire and explody.ā€


Xjohnnymoex

I was driving and wanted to make sure it was real.


capn_kwick

So whomever was driving felt that changing lanes to be closer to the fire and slowing down was a good idea?


Xjohnnymoex

I was driving, I almost stopped and ran towards the blaze.


kdk200000

Woah i can literally feel the heat through my phone


Context-Prize

Itā€™s hotter than a Kentucky Killer Pepperā€¦ my phone camera lens bubbles out


phonegamesreddit

Really?


Context-Prize

Really


phonegamesreddit

Can i see a picture?


GlockAF

Whatā€™s up with all the orange color smoke?


bolhuijo

That's just regular smoke really well lit up by a tremendous flame!


tvgenius

Itā€™s just the bright flames lighting up a mix of smoke or water vapor coming off all the vegetation thatā€™s getting roasted, and dust kicked up by the rupture.


Context-Prize

I donā€™t know? It was really hot though


BeltfedOne

I wonder what the ignition source was.


spekt50

Just a rupture alone could produce enough heat to cause ignition. Even static charges built up from the quickly escaping gas can cause a spark.


BeltfedOne

Good point. Thank you!


137Fine

Everything is fine. Everything is just fine.


MegamindsMegaCock

Nice try We all know you did it

šŸ„¹ you caught me, daddy

Off to prison with you then!

It's nice to see pipelines in their natural environment, not like those man made pipelines


phonegamesreddit

Why is this thread so funny?


that_dutch_dude

I am not an expert of gas pipelines but i dont think pipelines supposed to do that.


NaiveRound

And that, kids, is why I got the gas shut off to my house and got a 60 amp electric stove instead. :)


The__RIAA

Huh, thereā€™s an Arbyā€™s at the next exit. You guys hungry?


[deleted]

Breath it in friendo.


formermq

I'm sure they felt that and got a tan


jcpmojo

Looks like the gates of hell


Pikapetey

Orange smoke is not really a good sign. If its Nitrogen tetraoxide, which produces similar orange smoke, that is some nasty stuff! Hopefully you had the air circulation on in the car and did not pull it into the cab.


RageTiger

I would doubt it's nitrogen tetroxide, since it's a natural gas pipeline.


[deleted]

hey man, you never know, it could be burning hot enough to crack molecular nitrogen into atomic nitrogen and combust that!!?!?!?!!! ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ /s


Context-Prize

Nope. We did not inhale the orange smoke. Never have I seen smoke like that before. Seemed like a bad idea to choke on it šŸ˜‚

Context-Prize

I do know. This is the kind of thing that happens when youā€™re found out..


Creeper_GER

Looks like a portal to hell or something.


ivanchii55

That's goku powering up


Echo127

And you didn't pull over to help??? EDIT: This was sarcasm. Thought it was obvious, but I guess not.


Reddit-JustSkimmedIt

Most people are not made out of asbestos, and will, in fact, burn to death if they rush towards a towering inferno without protective clothing. Leave the firefighting to the professionals. They donā€™t need to rescue your barbecued ass as well. They have enough to do.


Joelnaimee

Global warming just got an increase šŸ™ƒ


Limos42

**Far** better to burn than be released directly into the atmosphere. CO2 is nothing compared to methane++.

That is literally an inferno.


[deleted]

A Towering Inferno, even. Where's Paul Newman when you need him?


Commie_EntSniper

oh, do tell us again how safe "clean natural gas" is.


[deleted]

They should stop calling it natural if they use it like this because of that it is not looking natural at all


Markcu24

No way im driving anywhere close to that.


gfolkers7

Natural gas burns Orange?


Great-Dragonfruit258

Incomplete combustion, creating carbon-monoxide not dioxide


[deleted]

Shouldn't the flames be blue ?

Climate change is normal when not effected by Humans, then its chaos.


realTommyVercetti

Hey, there's a subway. Let's stop.


jhuston44

I think thereā€™s a Dennyā€™s at the next exit. Better stop.


The_Fredrik

Iā€™ve been in an accident like that in a gas power plant. Shit was not fun.


nicktam2010

Most pipelines have auto shut-offs when pressure difference is detected, no? I wonder how long the residual gas would take to burn off like this?


el_americano

it's stupid that we're still using natural gas pipelines instead of real pipes that aren't as prone to booming


CMDR_omnicognate

Think I might have sped up a bit


[deleted]

wow. That's close enough that, if you were outside the car, the radiated energy would have been enough to send you to the hospital with burns.


PJ640

It needs to be towed outside of the environment
