Wow, never seen anything like that before!  When I went thru fire extinguisher training at work, I was surprised to learn that there is only one second of continuous spray per pound of extinguisher.  For example, a 10-pound fire extinguisher will only last for 10 seconds with continuous use.

Way too much pressure in this case.

While shopping at home Depot for stuff for the company I work for they had fire extinguishers on sale and I thought holy cow we don't have any in both of the vehicles I drive so I thought let's buy some I feel a lot more comfortable this way if something happens our vehicles from work might be okay but at least I might be able to help somebody on the side of the road and that is a big relief on my shoulders

Interesting. I guess, the one flying on the video was about 10 pounds! It was gaining altitude for about 9 seconds and then went down. Hopefully no one got hurt on the other side of the block.

I suppose that if you got your skull crushed when this thing fell to earth you would  have to accept that it was just your time to go.
