[@ashe1.070]

So as a chemist, I have to mention that dichloromethane (methylene chloride, DCM) isn’t that flammable. It will burn, but it needs a decent amount of energy input to get it to burn. I once tested this by putting a couple drops on a microscope slide, tried to light it on fire, and it took some effort. When it does finally start to burn, it burns with a weak, dirty flame. That is at least when it’s a liquid that’s not thoroughly mixed with air. DCM is also very volatile meaning it vaporizes very easily; it has a boiling point of about 40 C (or about 103 F which for a solvent is a very low boiling point), and a very high vapor pressure meaning it readily jumps from the liquid phase to the gas phase. When mixed very thoroughly with air, and in it’s vapor phase it’s probably easier to ignite. However, it’s nothing like ethyl ether (which will easily ignite on a hot surface; it doesn’t even require a spark), or even something like ethanol which is still pretty flammable. Regardless, I hope DCM has been phased out for aerosolizing tear gases because the main risk of DCM is it’s toxicity. It’s not as toxic as something like cyanides. It’s not even the most toxic solvent that’s still used (that dubious honor goes to tetrachloromethane, aka carbon tetrachloride, or maybe carbon disulfide), but it’s still toxic. Exposure to large quantities can cause serious damage to organs. Oh, and it’s thought to be a possible carcinogen. If its intended use is to be a component of a non-lethal weapon used by police then the solvent should at least be nontoxic, so people aren’t accidentally poisoned by it. Anyway, I don’t believe the cultists lit the fire themselves. Too many lies from the government to believe anything they say. This is just my input on the solvent used to aerosolize CS since I’ve worked with DCM in the laboratory many, many times as a solvent for reactions, extractions, etc.

[@fenixdraws8701]

Elite comment

[@fkboyStalin]

how long would it be able to be flammable? it was 6 hours from the time the tear gas went in till the fire, they're almost 100% unrelated imo just due to the fact that there were 6 hours of time between them but I'm aware that it's possible I could be wrong and am willing to accept that if that's the case that's why I ask.

[@phicks7963]

The documentary "Waco:the Big lie" shows pretty clear and concise footage of one of the tanks using what appears to be a flamethrower on the end of it's barrel as it punches holes in the walls of the compound and destroys the staircases inside

[@codyharney2997]

I appreciate your input, but a couples drops on a slide are far from applicable results. A couple drops of gasoline on a slide won't combust and very often not ignite either. That's not a very good measure of real life combustion conditions. The air in the compound was saturated in the gas vapor. It was hot. The members were in distress and fight or flight mode generating more heat. And then you know the tank exhaust and heat as well as the literal flame thrower igniting the gas. All give really really good practical data on the combustion and or igniting of the gas in the compound. Thanks for your input

[@RonniePTexan]

While I appreciate your efforts, gasoline or various forms of alcohol do not ignite in liquid form. Only when changed into gaseous form will they ignite. Your attempts proved that it took extra heat and that heat transferred the liquid into a gas and therefore it seemed to take a lot of energy to light.

They killed the babies!" Most of the classrooms already had the news on because that morning was intense.

If there's one good thing about the technology of today, with TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, etc, making it so easy to access and share information, it's that I don't think something like this would be as easy to cover up as it was back then. The people trapped in the compound wouldn't have been forced to rely on the people who were out for their blood to communicate with the outside world. They just wanted to explain their side. They knew they hadn't done anything to warrant what was happening to them. I would hope, at least, if something like this happened again, then the people inside could have recorded and uploaded videos to public accounts or to their friends and family, showing everyone what was happening to them. The lack of public knowledge at the time is what allowed the government to completely control the narrative during and after this incident, and it's why so many people today STILL don't know what actually went on there. As absolutely retarded as it sounds, maybe TikTok could have saved them.
