A couple years ago I was down in El Paso, and near the border on the American side there is a mountain you can climb up, about 6,000 feet.

we had a drought in Alberta and Montana and you could draw a line right along the border: Green green grass in Alberta and yellow straw in Montana.

One might think the twins have supercharged plot armor due to not only surviving that explosion, but also not even getting pushed by it a tiny bit.

Therefore the only logical conclusion is that this incident just happened in their dreams after getting talked into a coma by that annoying pimp my ride pendejo.

[@stickman3214]

Hey, Aviation Fuel Specialist here! A burning cigarette is absolutely hot enough to ignite that gasoline (which has a flashpoint of -38⁰c) by vapour alone, so please do not hold a lit cigarette anywhere near petrol in real life.

[@polkhigh_33]

@@stickman3214 There has actually been a study on this specific myth, in which 723 cigarettes were thrown into a puddle of petrol, to clarify if an arsonist in doubt could pretend to have unintenionally caused a fire by knocking the ash off his cigarette or throwing it away. Not a single one ingnited neither the fluid, nor the vapour. So while its true that the flashpoint of petrol vapour is extremely low and that it can be ignited by the temperature of embers, 1) the cigarette ash just isnt hot enough on its surface and 2) the contact with the vapour isnt long enough before its getting extinguished by the fluid. Thanks for mentioning the theory though and absolutely agreed on never using something which could create sparks or embers next to any inflammatory substances.

[@LordWolven]

This might be one of BB's worse scenes for so many reasons. First, the twins are high ranking members of one of the wealthiest and most powerful cartels. So, there is no reason for them to be sneaking across the border with a bunch of random immigrants being driven by a non-cartel coyote. Traveling over the border via plane, tunnel, or driving with fake government documents is something that the cartel could easily facilitate with very little risk. Second, why wear clothing that links them to the cartel? Even if none of the passengers recognize it, law enforcement would in the event that the truck gets spotted. Third, setting the truck on fire creates a giant signal that law enforcement will quickly notice. There really isn't any benefit to setting the fire in the first place. Eventually the truck would be discovered, but by that point law enforcement wouldn't really have any way to link the shootings to the twins. For a show that made it a point to pay attention to every small detail, this scene always bugged me.

[@wolfcl0ck]

Yknow those are some good points. Didn't really think about them.

[@CosmicWaltz7]

I think it shows how pissed off they are. They do have those methods available, since they were going to drive in to get Tuco before, but they aren't thinking clearly in this moment. They know they want revenge, and are risking everything, even for the cartel, to get it. It shows that the Salamanca method of upbringing makes them loyal, but not professional. Or, they wanted "cool villains".

[@bruhvenant]

Yeah I agree, this scene just doesn't make sense in a lot of ways.

What he noticed from boots?! Let me know plzzzzzzz

[@rockygateway]

He noticed the silver skulls on the boots, I think meaning they were Cartel hitmen. They killed them all to avoid being followed or identified

[@Morne_]

He saw the silver skull tips, but that was really just what put all of the pieces together for him. The way they were dressed, the way they behaved, the nice boots, the skull tips - all those things would point anyone to assume that they are likely cartel. The fact that they didn't hide anything about themselves always led me to believe that they planned on killing the passengers the entire time.

Agreed. You never know what kinda crazies will cross the border with you. You never want to draw attention to yourself when crossing the border. Makes it easier for others to identify you incase they get caught.

Its not the compliment that is required. It is the fact that they are twins and in the cartel and the younger guy had a big mouth. So it will be a matter of time and they will be detected in the US. I don’t think it was personal for them, just a loose end that needed to be tied.

One of the (many) things about this show I appreciate is how realistic the gunshot sounds are, unlike pretty much every other tv show or film where even a pistol sounds like a cannon. It’s these kinds of details that all add up to make this truly one of the best things ever made.

[@self2self9]

I know a lot of people like the twins but they’re the worst part of BB and BCS for me. The shows have loads of quality writing and clearly have a ton of time and effort put in to them and then somehow these two idiots are given loads of screen time and involvement in the plot. If they didn’t want to be identified as cartel members, why did they wear the goddamn boots? If they planned to kill everyone anyway, why? They’d have to do it in the middle of nowhere as to not get caught, but then they destroy the truck not only forcing them to walk through the desert but also creating a HUGE signal that border patrol/police would realistically be all over to investigate. What do these fools do when they go home? Just sit and stare at the wall? Do they take showers and shits in tandem like they do everything else? These characters are baffling to me; did a high schooler write them?

[@redlizerad8268]

Salamanca’s are arguably the weakest part of BCS. There are some really good ones but overall I felt some moments were ruined in order to make room for Salamanca’s. Tbf they are hard characters to get right cause they are all psychotic murderers.
