Everyone is here to see the fire, but we get mostly random shots, not much of the fire.

[@pablogawlo3475]

Nie ma takiej opcji.

[@Joeyc-vd2wm]

No harnesses while climbing that thing. Are you serious?

[@j_freeman3230]

Its not that hatd to climb.

[@SebHaarfagre]

Harnesses attached to *WHAT?*

[@arseymcpherson]

Could you keep the drone still for 1 minute for fuck sake.

[@famousamoso7]

It’s 2021 and y’all still have to send 5 guys to the top to light it? Y’all don’t have a remote igniter to light it safely from the ground

[@andreigress3991]

haha these guys were building this pyramid I don't know all the details of this tradition, but maybe they have a competition who will be the first to get and set fire😄

[@EscapingElyisum]

It's lit from the top and burns slowly downwards, so it's about as safe as just climbing up and down really

[@10eLSe11]

Wheres the fun in that ?

[@j_freeman3230]

Famethrower drone? Lol There may just be a traditiin at work here that is older than most countries

[@famousamoso7]

@@EscapingElyisum climbing up and down 150' tower with no safety gear. gotcha

[@georgebarnes8163]

Was the tallest, record now stands @ 210 feet

[@cerinz]

That a lot of nail left

[@CB-lh4ph]

and then frodo cast the ring into the fires of mount doom

[@ericsorenson6902]

Who picks all the nails up 😢

[@tdog4718]

A magnet

[@Hoppitot]

Should've coated the thing with gas and shot multiple flares at it to have the entire thing pop at once

[@SebHaarfagre]

So that it lasts 5 minutes instead of many hours? Great idea

[@princegio1385]

I think its silly to start the fire at the top. But w.e.

[@rick-dy7mt]

If you burn it at the bottom it will fall over

[@jamezdfit]

Would be better if they lit it from the bottom

[@sambell4370]

So the bottom can burn out and have the rest of the tower topple onto the spectators?

[@LunarMuphinz]

​@@sambell4370 what spectators, nobody was on that island

[@gaelicd8328]

I can only imagine there carbon footprint and here was I thinking of saving the plant for the youth of today. What an idiot I've been. Fuck that I'm going back on coal 😤

[@lamadivala7791]

it's to late anyways who cares
