The waterpipe near our school exploded (a loud bang) and this fire extiguisher thingie sticking out of the ground got blown off flying a few miles away. Then this huge fountain started spraying hardcore, going at LEAST 30 m high. The fountain lasted for hours. It's so funny, and the water was spraying all over the road and onto our chapel roof. Now their's some water damage inside our chapel. Hahahaha, also there is no water available for homes and taps in that area, so there will be no water to extinguish fire if a fire happens, no water to flush toilets, can't wash hands, no water that runs in our science lab etc.

Our headmaster also said if this continues after Period 4, we can go home, so during breaks we kept flushing the toilets to waste water and also keep all these taps running. And then after assembly, we got to go home! Muwahahahaha

Here are some REAL pictures, I was going to attach a video clip, but its 4 mbs. You can see our school chapel, the carpark and maybe some people going there for site-seeing Img-0011 looks like a swimming pool. Hehe, enjoy!

Wasting water just for the sake of leaving school early?!
Wait, I might have done that too...

The only thing that happened in my school in the pas week was some idiot sprayed Axe at the schools motion detectors and the fire alarm sounded.

Lol, its like a geyser from a hole in the ground.
Once a gas line broke and we had to walk 3 blocks to a local church, but they fixed it just as we got there, so we had to walk back.

a watermain broke infront of my school this year so we all got to skip 6,7,and 8th period i missed science class with my mean teacher !! and i didnt do the homework that day in his class yay

The first one is an awsome picture.

Woah! Is there supposed to be a rainbow, or did u edit it for effects?

lol obviously its real!! havent you seen a rainbow before?? its just the suns light passing through water

Yeah you can see water shooting up from the ground. You can create a rainbow with a garden hose if you want to.

They're never too beautiful, though

The geyser looks awsome. Hehe.

You can create a really small rainbow with your kitchen faucet if you're lucky.
Remember this: Large amounts of water, preferably shooting into the air so that it's seperating into droplets, has a really good chance of creating rainbows.

I highly doubt that that fire hydrant got blown a couple of miles away.

By a couple of miles I expect it to be more than 2 miles.

It is almost imposible that water, which is a liquid with a mass of 1g/cm[sup]3[/sup] could lift a fire hydrant of over 50kg in mass a distance of over 3200 meters. The force required to throw the fire hydrant at a 45° angle, which is the angle with most distance, would be way more than what is posible for water to do. The same pressure on all pipes would be the same meaning that there was only enough constant force to throw water which is far less heavier than a fire hydrant, only up to 30m. Now we know that there was a buildup of presure in the pipes. As water being a liquid it cannot be compresed as gasses and solids can. So there must've been high compresion and temperature gases in there, which would shoot up the hydrant further but then there would be enough pressure left to keep shooting the geyser 30m high.

If F=MA then there would've been needed way more than the amount of water that could flow at maximun speed(there is a speed limit to how fast a liquid can move) and by Bernulli's formula, there couldn't have been enough presure nor force to shoot a fire hydrant more than 2 miles with water coming from a pipe of around 2 feet wide.

Nice pictures though.

lol thats pretty technical.

BTW where do you live screwed?

Who cares how far it got blown, its still funny and the pictures illustrate that well. I hope you enjoy having classes in water damaged buildings most of the recent of the semester, hehe .

Water damaged building are the worst thing, trust me it is.

Mold and all that funky stuff will start growing on the walls, floors, roofs and if it got in there pretty darn good, it can even start on lockers, desks and anything you can think of.

Theres mold on my brain, does that count?

No, thats probably caused because you don't use it.

Thats a nice thing to say. How about I do stop using it and then everything I am working on never proceeds... *cough*AutoStacker

*Edit: fixed a small typo that made the word ... nm*

I don't think people being without clean tap water for a while is funny at all. Trying to make the problem last longer by turning on taps and flushing toilets didn't have much of an effect, you would have gotten our early anyway.

I would have done the same. School sux0rs.

School sucks huh?

Just wait till you get out of school, your perspective will change.

Or will it?

Stop trying to predict the future.

Well with school you can't stop it from sucking if it sucks. With real life, you have more control (if you play your cards right). So if your life after school sucks more then school, it's your problem.
It's reasuring when it's your fault your miserable, it doesn't make you feel as helpless.

The is movie material. AWESOME!

Srewed, you kick ass in my book right now.
