Bullshit and BullshittersWe've had questions about lies and liars in the past, but this time we're asking about the sort of fantasist who constantly claims they've got a helicopter in the garden or was "second onto the balcony at the Iranian Embassy siege". Tell us about the cobblers you've been told, or the complete lies you've come out with.
Thanks to dozer for the suggestion

The thermite reaction produces molten iron...... at just under the boiling point of aluminium (around 2,500'C).
If you put a bucket-load of shit-hot molten iron onto a block of ice the result is likely to be a massive burst of super-heated steam propelling bits of semi-molten iron at varyingly scalding temperatures in every direction.
Not hard to see why it might explode. Also quite easy to see why you might prefer to do this from a concrete bunker half a mile distant.
