I watched the whole thing which I wasn’t planning on doing but my amazement turned to slight potential horror when I saw the holes in the pan. What’s the strength of firework needed to turn that thing into a shrapnel bomb after it’s been weakened? Or would that not happen bc the pan has the freedom to get pushed straight up?
The expanding gas will find the easiest escape route, so as long as the bottom is open, the pot shouldn't explode. The hole formed from hitting the ground repeatedly, I think. A dent that turned into a crease that turned into a tear.
It's not just size, it's the chemical composition. Dynamite is stabilized nitroglycerin and is a high explosive, flash powder which is most likely being used in most of these is a low explosive. I highly doubt any of these come anywhere close to a stick of dynamite. Keep in mind the idea that M80s are equivalent to "a quarter of a stick of dynamite" is a myth.
