Was checking out some stuff that Mr. Lixy likes to look at recently.

He clicked on this vid and was gonna stop it...but I made him let it play. It's mostly quarry shots (which he doesn't do) and a couple of tunnel shots at the end (which he doesn't do either...mainly because "fly rock" is the biggest no-no in his part of blasting).

If you like AC/DC...this is the vid for you!!!!!!!!!


Mr. Lixy lives vicariously through fly rock vids! Who wouldn't want to do this?

MEGA SHIT

100 tons . . . isn't that a song?

I HATE AC/DC but I really enjoyed it with the first video!

How can Mr. Lix do that for a living? I'm too much of a pussy. I like my lifestyle - checking the Ps and Qs of bank contracts









































Who wakes up in the morning and decides to "watch 'em explode" for a day's pay?!?!?

I knew you would be a blast to spend a night with, Lixy.

I guess a man has to do something extrodinary to recharge when you are done with him.




Very interesting actually. Can I assume the depth of the wall strata in the pits is the effective charge depth we are seeing the surface of?

What are the flashes we see preceding the blast sequence in some of the flix and why only in some and not all? It it a conductor laying on the surface in some and covered over in the others? Is it some type of fusing? It's seems too slow to be an actual electrical conductor illumination.

It is also interesting how the shock wave is sometimes more apparent than at others.

ROFLMFAO @ scotz! You are correct sir!


As to PF's questions and OF's and my answer...We were wrong!

Mr. Lixy said, "The reason there are flashes in some vids is because those particular shots were set off with a non-electrical initiation system. They shoot a hollow tube filled with HMX (flash powder which burns @ 1 mile per second) with a shot gun shell primer...which sets off the shot. The non-flashes in the others represent all electric blasting caps. Better turn off your two way radio in this vicinity!"

So hey! We learned something today...huh?

themi01...TY for that vid link! THUNDERSTRUCK is my all time fave AC/DC song!

db...Awwwwwwwwwwww...*hugs*

gecko....SOON!

Lixy You and me and my son actually he likes TnT better I'm torn between Thunderstruck and "For those of you about to rock" especially the version I saw at MSG

I've always been concerned when I see the signs on the side of the road alerting drivers, "Blasting Zone - turn off all cell phones & two-way radios"



I mean, these poor bastards are putting their asses on the line & trusting that some Type-A Asshole-in-a-business-suit is gonna turn off his cell? The same that has the phone up to his f'in' ear while he zooms across 3 lanes of traffic at 70mph in front of me because he almost missed the stinkin' exit?!?

disclaimer: I have to drive with both a cell & a Nextel 2-way in the course of my job, & I do make every effort to pull over when possible...but I have an idea about how radio communications work, & I'm thinking that even if I turn my phone & radio off, there's still radio signals bouncing off the towers whether I'm receiving them or not...

I don't think the worry is about you receiveing as much as the ones you would be sending.

My point is that there's very little difference between the two.

Warning: Science Content below...

The signal form a cell or two-way should already be on different frequencies from whatever the blasters use; the problem is that signals can malfunction, bounce, create harmonics & otherwise wreak havoc. That's why they don't let you use such devices on airplanes, & why they say don't use them around gas pumps; properly functioning, there should be no problem, but you never know when the Fuck-up Fairy is gonna visit...
