White Phosphorus - Explosions&Fire 

Well, we somehow made it to 2020 with this video still up! I guess if you brag about being deleted, RU-vid wont give you the satisfaction of doing it. Imagine mispronouncing a word to over 1 million people though, oof

"Disturbed chemist commits war crimes in backyard".

Not only did this not get deleted, it also got on the recommended page

Is white phosphorus bad? Walker: nah fam, Conrad is bad

Fun things to put in your super soaker: Diluted white phosphorus

Where was this man when the fires in Australia started?

5 years later.. Still here. what a survivor!

ur the best and funniest science youtuber ive ever seen, keep up the good work

Phosphorous was used as the light-emitting material on television and computer screens before there were solid-state displays. It lights up when excited by a beam of electrons.

March 23rd this video aged well

"not the brighest option" I mean, looks pretty bright to me

"i live where the uv layer is fucked and clouds haven't been invented yet" love it

In my 1st year at uni there was a PhD candidate who worked on an experiment that required white phosphorous. Then, in the middle of that he left for an international internship for several months, leaving the phosphorous safely in a glass jar under water in his lab cupboard ... Obviously the water evaporated and the phosphorous got exposed to the air. Fortunately this happened while the best lab technician I've ever met was there. He quickly realised 1) whose cupboard it was that had started smoking and what chemical was likely stored in there, and 2) that said cupboard was on wheels. He shouted to the professor to immediately open the emergency doors and everyone else to clear a path and wheeled the cupboard outside. He then calmly walked back inside, called the front desk followed by the fire brigade. When the fire fighters arrived he told them to come enjoy the fire (it was just the cupboard burning, but quite spectacularly). Putting it out wasn't useful, just let it burn up. He had called the fire brigade just in case something would go wrong and the fire spread.

"This is gonna get deleted" *appears randomly on my recommended page in 2019*

The term “sticky fire” is one of the most terrifying things I’ve heard

I get the feeling this is cause of modern warfare that this is in my recommend in 2019

"Magic is real it's just very very poisonous" should be on a t-shirt

“Magic is real kids, it’s jus very very poisonous” this had me rolling

"The fire is a very angry" very accurate description, very scientific, professional, and well put.

2:26 This is a good example why you should not collect amber on the german baltic coast and put it in your pocket. It looks very similar to white Phosphorous and you might find that the pretty rock you just picked up is heating up your leg pretty aggressively.

“Here in Australia, where clouds haven’t been invented yet” Dead.

FBI: "Why are you buying industrial size bags of cinnamon." Me: "Cooking."

As a chemistry teacher in the 60s, my grandfather once (out of doors, by way of a ramp and a very long string with the class standing around the edge of the rugby field) dropped a piece of white phosphorus into fuming nitric acid. You could do that sort of thing in those days.

Yep. Informative, interesting, promotes safety. It's gonna be deleted.

"Is white phosphorus really that bad?" *That one scene from Spec Ops: The Line*

*Spec ops: The line flashbacks intensifies*

12:00 when I was a kid in the 60s there was a phosphorous light for reading comics in the dark, a glass jar with lid unscrew it slightly to let air in. Instructions to build the night-light came from "Children's Encyclopedia"

White Phosphorus: +200 fire damage +125 poison damage +75% status duration -500 Charisma

"Nobody is allowed use it except when someone breaks the rules and does it anyway and all the other countries are like awww you shouldnt have done that" lmao as accurate as could be

"Is white phosphorus really that bad" People who played spec ops the line: *flashbacks*

Hey isn't Israel using this stuff this week?

"I live in an area where the Ozone layer is fucked and clouds haven't been invented yet" I feel your pain.

462 days and this video is still on RU-vid. It seems you have beaten the system.

8:02 isreal being unethical. Imagine my shock

*white phosphorus exists and is all sorts of volitile and poisonous* Australian: imma poke it

"Seriously who has carbon disulphide" Says the guy who has white phosphorus

“This video will be demonetized and deleted.” Appears in recommended in August of 2019 with an ad.

Sad it's being used in Gaza and Lebanon

Geneva Convention? More like Geneva Suggestion

An Australian talking about explosive chemistry over elevator music - that I call top-notch entertainment! XD Greetings from Germany, mate.

Oh boy. Israel is gonna be in sooo much trouble if they are no longer exempt from international laws.

so this year's call of duty will have 2 outlawed weapons of war *nice*

Got put on my recommended, I love it. “The most illegal thing I’ve ever owned”

I just got here and while I enjoyed my time my biggest comment is how amazingly professional the demonstrations are. Two bricks and a sheet of glass between the cameras, a tile on top of an old wooden barrier, and an old, rusty axe-head for the ignition panel, and doing nothing but burning a dangerous, self-described "sticky fire" near arid grass. I fully support everything about this backyard chemistry and I love it.

The joke about clouds not being invented yet was 10/10.

“Is white phosphorus really bad?” All cod players: yes...

“The fire is very angry” thank you for these exact scientific terms

Used by the war criminels of israel on Gaza.

"Its just white phosphorous it'll be fiiiiine" This is a true chemist

Boy, the youtube algorithm delivered me gold..

"Is white phosphorus really that bad?" "Do you feel like a hero yet?"

With the news Israel is using WP in Gaza, this video suddenly becomes popular again.

i bought some of those "magic smoke paper magic trick amazing wow fun party special effect paper" off of wish not thinking anything of it and i got that shit everywhere and it does NOT wash off and a lot of time i would just like get it on my hands lightly rinse them off then go and eat the only reason i stopped was because it was kinda dark one time when i was messing with some and i noticed that shit was GLOWING and i proceeded to do a mass google search for weather it was toxic or not and that led me here and that kids is how i found Explosions&Fire and almost killed my entire family with white phosphorus

Every nation when things go smoothly: White phosphorus is so bad. Nobody should ever use it! Every nation when things don't go smoothly: Hanz, bring the chemicals!

Alternate title: Is a warcrime really that bad?

shout-out to the Palestinians

I remember hearing horror stories from some of my instructors when I was in the army. People would get burned down to the bone, then when the doctors would go to clean the wound, it would ignite again

Video that you kept saying RU-vid would take down, is the first video I've seen of yours and came from RU-vid recommended. Try monetizing it. Oh, and subscribed

"Is white phosphorus REALLY that bad?" Brought to you by War Crimes Gang.

In the army i was always surrounded with dangerous stuff, explosives, tank rounds ammo etc and it never bothered me. I pulled guard duty on an ammo dump once and they had WP howitzer rounds in there and they made me VERY nervous.

(Drops white phosphorus on ants) “This was your fault, god dammit!”

I feel like I’m on another list now.

white phosphorus isn’t that bad usually i can use a stim shot and be fine

In about 1987, I was in a high school chemistry class. During a lab exercise we used filter paper with white phosphorus. My lab partner put the filter paper in the trash can at the end of class which was the last class of the day. Apparently that evening the traces on the filter paper caught fire and luckily the janitor put it out after it burned an entire lab desk and area. The next day we were asked about it and fessed up but we weren't punished.

This guys cheating, he didnt even get any kills and has a white phosphorus Cmon Infinity Ward

White phosphorus is basically “Warcrime: The explosive”. Edit: To Ryke Haven, imagine taking a joke seriously.

me: *casually joins match* Narrator literally 0.7 seconds later: *eNeMy wHiTe pHoSpHoRuS iNcOmInG!*

i came hear to escape the news coming out of Israel and Ukraine man this didn't age well. 🙃

"Striker 3-1. Dropping Whiskey Pete on your mark."

Huh white Phosphor where do i know that fro... (Spec:Ops Flashbacks kick in) oh no.....

As an American army vet I noticed that you completely glossed over the whole part where WP particles on your skin will continue to burn, straight through your clothes, skin and meat right down to the bone until it burns out or someone picks it off with tweezers. Fun stuff.

I am here after Russia hit Donetsk (Ukraine) with phosphorus bombs..

The fact that this can burn through someone top to bottom without extinguishing is truly terrifying

"Do you feel like a hero yet?"

There's an interesting medical condition called "Phosphorus jaw" where people affected by it had hideous malformed faces due to the Phosphorus vapours being absorbed into their jawbones. Effectively dissolving their jaws over 3-6 months. Creating abscesses and having the living tissue experience necrosis. I kid you not, having their jawbones rot from the inside. This was common for match stick factory personal. Until they got proper safety equipment.

It’s 17.10.2023 and Israel is still using white phosphorus against civilians to this day

*in british accent* *" ENEMY WHITE PHOSPHORUS INCOMING!"*

Whats interesting is that if you try to collect bits of amber at the coast of germany (which is something that some actually make a living of) you´re always reminded that the yellowish/red piece that you think is amber could be old white phospherus ammo used during the wars so everyone who wants to collect amber on the shores of germany: never ever pick it up with bare hands, you could loose parts of your body.

My eye twitches when he says "incendinary"

As someone with scarring on 30%+ of my body from white phosphorous; I can say without a doubt that yes. this is dangerous stuff.

"do u feel like a hero yet?"

year and a half later. Video not deleted. ads in video. and video on RU-vid front-page recommends.

This guy is the R rated version of Bill Nye The Science guy

WP smoke is uniquely opaque to infrared, which makes it very useful in war.

"Is white phosphorus really that bad?" Me, remembering a really messed up picture I saw once: Yes...

*The Israeli Air Force wants to know your location.*

Mortar man here... Had a brand new officer come in and wanted to drop Willie Pete (White Phosphorus) danger close and run through it for a cool picture. Needless to say he didnt last.

The normal reaction to phosphorous is: "Why is my *everything* on fire?"

"And Hydrogen Cyanide is a nasty fucker of a thing" is my favorite piece of scientific information ever

"White phosphorous dissolves quite well in benzene!" *Well yes, but actually no.*

Getting this recommended after Putin uses white Phosphorus on civilians...

"ENEMY WHITE PHOSPHORUS INBOUND!!" Ugh, here we go again :/

You missed another aspect of the smoke; as it is hot it blanks out thermal imagers.

Intensely irritating.... is an understatement for an acid forming in your lungs

That's what Isa @rael is throwing on Palestine.

Staged on an old floor tile, rusted props, filmed on a potato. You have a new sub.

RU-vid actually recommended me a good channel, subbed. You should have alot more sub's, your videos are great man.
