White phosphorus is terrifying

- A while ago, I was able to get some chunks of white phosphorus. It's often used to make large amounts of smoke, but it's also sometime used as a weapon, which is a bit terrifying.

As a German kid, we learned really early to be careful with phosphorus, wich can be found at the Baltic sea, due to war waste, because it can be mistaken with amber, we liked to collect at the beach.

"do you feel like a hero yet?"
I can’t believe this is being used in the war right now…
Not for the first time, either.
It's been used for smoke covers since ww2. Though it is illegal to use on civilians.
And lasers
The freaking Zionists were doing this in the war of 2008-2009 it was all over the news daily. Where were you???
I can’t be the only one that knows about this from Spec Ops: The Line, they really didn’t skimp on the realism.
finished that game when i was 15yrs old and now played it again and it hits different when you're matured enough to play it.
in that scene i was like
"maybe i am a bad guy"
That game changed my view on gaming in general, I started demanding more richer narratives from games after that.
I knew about this because it was dropped on a hospital in the middle east a decade ago; being used as a weapon in war, even though it was illegal

My grandpa used to tell me stories of when he was a child during ww2 and saw people burn to death from white phosphorus bombings on their civilian city. He said people would jump into rivers to try and put it out and when they surfaced they would immediately start burning again. Pretty horrifying to witness at that age.
Holy shit
They are also in grenade form. When I was in the Army they showed us what to do with vehicles if we had to leave them behind during war. Put that grenade on the engine and it basically melts the engine down due to the heat and renders the vehicle useless to the enemy.

Chemistry teachers watching this: haha very cool, now let's prepare tomorrow's course, water + water.
When I hear people having had boring chemistry class I'm glad my school at least got that part right: we had multiple sorts of explosions with multiple types of substances and the situations under which they can occur, up to the "hollywood style" explosion of a big fireball coming from a hydrogen filled ballon that the teacher held a candle on a stick next to (he explained they tend to use liquid fuels in Hollywood, but he wanted to show us what different gas explosions looked like, the next experiment was an exploding tea cannister filled with natural gas to show how gas explosions in homes happen, to teach anyone that if you smell gas somewhere: leave).
Same thing with magnesium in water (if I recall it that was the thing the teacher did). We all got a tiny, tiny sliver that we were allowed to throw in a testtube with a bit of water to see the violent reaction, and the teacher then did the same thing with a bigger chunk, to show different types of metals and the way they decay and burn.
The white flashing while the magnesium responded fiercely was pretty impressive, just like some substance (don't know which one anymore) that produced A LOT of purple smoke :P.
@@Dutch3DMaster Magnesium doesn't burn in water, only alkali metals do. Magnesium will only produce visible effervescence when placed in warm water. Magnesium does burn bright when exposed to fire.
And my comment was a joke implying chemistry is not a fireworks class.
@@DreadNawght I agree. I’ve only taken a few online beginner classes in chemistry. But, I just can’t help but to feel like chemistry should be respected.
Granted, I get it… High school kids are “too cool” for school. And most teachers probably think they can get a little further with them, by doing cool explosions and other reactions to gain their attention and maybe spark some interest.
But, it’s honestly just a huge disservice to them, when you realize that you signed up for chemistry in college… only to be completely let down, when you realize it’s not non-stop James Bond Hollywood movie antics, like, it was in high school.
Chemistry is just so much cooler than simple chemical reactions, though. It just doesn’t do it justice by going down that path of raccoon style teaching (Hey, look over here! Bright light, loud noise)

Is that a spec ops reference?
Phosphorus be like: Don't play with me or you're dead baby
Spec Ops: This is a nightmare and an atrocity.
Call of Duty: You've successfully murdered enough people to see if you can murder more with the help of our friend.
Spec ops: *shows the horrors of war*
Cod: "Hehe white phosphorus go boom!"
I was looking for a spec ops the line comment
*extra cwispy*
Unless of course the female secretaries come around for whatever reason... then the game gets renamed to "call of booty" and murder is replaced with desperation to make babies as the head between the guys' legs takes over.
@@AnimeShinigami13 bro what
Spec Ops: The Line kids will remember this!
Ugh brutal
or any veteran
@@auxiliatrixx Not really. Veterans of Iraq are intimately aware with what white phosphorus is actually like when deployed as smoke. It's not at all like the media portrays it to be, it's not an offensive weapon at all
@@Freakishd It can be used as an Incendiary/anti personnel agent, there’s just rules to its usage in that way in certain situations.
Do you feel like a hero yet?
Free Palestinia ❤❤
Imagine being in ww2 having 2k pounds dropped over you surrounding you in a 500 yrd radius of hot smokey white death while the past thing u experience is choking on your own blood and the oxygen molecules bursting around and in you while watching your entire battalion die with out a single shot being fired
"You're fucking kidding me right? That's white phosphorus. You've seen what this shit does"
"We might not have a choice Lugo"
"There's always a choice"
"No, there's really not"
Fuck that game ruined me.
Spec Ops: The Line
That was a fricking powerful game
YES
I knew it'd be here.
One of the few games that really shows how deadly chemical warfare is in the modern world
Gender reveal parties are having ideas!
Ban gender reveal parties before we get another fire that would burn up America
lmfao
Daddy catches on fire its a boy, mom catches on fire its a girl, you just never know until it happens
Don’t give people ideas.
This girl is on fiiiiire 🎶
Was at a live fire exercise at night at Ft.Carson in Colorado once.
Watched south of me white phosphorus bombs dropped by plane light up the dark.
They sparkled like fireworks sparklers,huge column rising straight up in the night.
I later was told they burn everything they touched to dust....everything.
Those columns of diamond sparkling were both beautiful to behold,and completely terrifying at the same time....
what branch?
My dad had a teacher (in like the 70s) that would use white phosphorus in class for an experiment. He accidentally got a fair bit of phosphorus powder on his clothes. In the middle of teaching he combusted. Luckily the class put him out with water. He went to the ER to treat some burns. Sometime while waiting his clothes dried off. So he spontaneously combusted in the waiting room. He was completely fine and is still teaching. But he no longer does that experiment 😂
Brings back fond memories from the 1960s when our science teacher mixed phosphorus and sodium and burned down the laboratory.
The air hits the phosphorus and the fire starts. The teacher puts water on it and the sodium reacts.
The fire gets out of control so the fire brigade adds more water, not their best idea with sodium & other chemicals in the laboratory.
The fire brigade sends a car to pick up a chemist. A load of sand was prescribed but it was too late for the science lab.
If only video cameras & youtube existed in the 1960s, the video would have gone viral.
🤣🤣🤣
Lol talk out your cloaca mate
Are you for real?
@ihatecommies weird! Lol
Back in the days when kids could buy chemistry kits that could become chemical weaponry. Ah, to be alive back then..
