The Weird Questions, #1
Hello (not so many) readers! We will be starting a new post (which won't be like our last ones, which for some reason have been discontinued), called the weird questions. This is kind of a spin - off of what if? the book, and if you want us to answer any of your questions, post them in the comments below. Now, without further ado, question number 1 is:
What would happen if there were firemen bungee jumping off of the side of a burning building?
Short answer: They would all die a horrific death. Most ways you imagine this scene, the firemen are obliterated in flames, or through a collision with the ground, or simultaneously! Now this happy thought brings us to the long answer.
Long Answer:
Because the firemen would jump once off the side of a flaming building, and gradually swing back towards it, and would get annihilated in a burning mess. If the building was particularly unstable, it might collapse and send the jumpers to the ground, with the smoldering wreckage crashing down upon them.
What if they had a ladder on a moving fire truck to retrieve the jumpers?
Realistic answer: Yeah, they might make it, but there are still a lot of unknowns that could swiftly take the life of the firemen
My answer: They would die, because the venting updrafts of heated air created by the fire would cause an air pressure change that might initiate high winds. This would spread the fire to the surrounding areas, leaving everybody doomed. Nice gesture on the truck - drivers' part, but ultimately pointless.
Once again, please post questions in the comments section, so that we can continue making more of these!
