Oil depot set on fire in M79 attack

[Mekong]

Amazing that it didn't go sky high.

 

Must a been a small grenade

 

Not at all, the depot was designed to International Engineering Standards including a complete FHA (Fire Hazard Analysis). I should know I was part of the Engineering team that involved.

[Nervous God]

Well done then! I'm impressed it didn't go up

[waerth]

I'd have used a frag grenade first and then willy peter. Bet that would make it burn!

 

Who is Willy Peter and why does he burn so well???

[acockasian]

WP = white phosphorous

[Nervous God]

As opposed to Pink Phosphorous which goes,

 

OOOH what a LARGE HARD STRONG grenade launcher you have,

 

OH NO, look out, all that rubbing, it's going to erupt

 

OH GOD, what is that, it's a Pink Willy, It's hot, it burns, ooooo ouch, niceeeeeee

"...Apparently these Takkyite heroes have never heard of anything except frag grenades. If I'd done something nasty like that, I'd have used a frag grenade first and then willy peter. Bet that would make it burn!..."

 

What makes you so sure it was a true red? as opposed to some agitator trying to start up some serious shit? Or some yellow doing it so the reds get blamed?
