Dead Suicide Bomber's burning car tries to take revenge - Video, excellent
2008-04-29
Like the Hollywood movie "Christine" about a demonic 1958 Plymouth, a dead suicide bombers burning car takes on a life of it's own. With blaring horn and flashing lights it goes after it's tormentors.

#10  Did anyone try the link to movie trailer for "Christine"?

Maybe the Christ in Christine pissed off the car. The Muslim version of the movie would have been "Mohammadine".

#9  The soldiers were yelling at the camera man, "Did you get that? Did you get that?"

I have seen many a video out of Iraq where either contractors working convoys or troops saying, "I got this on camera." as if no one would believe the crazy things that happen over there. Plus it makes us glad to live in peace, I tell ya.

#8  Thermite - to burn explosives that might have remained in the car. C-4 burns, as do gasoline. It takes special treatment to create an explosion.

Plus those are infantry or Cav. Not engineers.

Still, funny as hell whe the brake line snapped and the force of the flames started the car rolling after the main wiring harness shorted and the lights and horn came on.

#7  I'm not sure why they were burning it in the first place. Especially at the scene of the crime, vice taking it to some remote locale.

#3  You would be referring, of course, to John Lucas, the Prince of Darkness, the inventor of the short circuit, the man whose business enterprise manufactured the notoriously unreliable electrical systems used by the British motor car industry.

#2  I had a Lotus 7 with the same attitude. I suspect Lucas played some dark part in this scene.
