when I was in thailand we were doing battle drills in the jungle and I guess a piece of hot brass started a huge fire. the wall of flame was like 9 feet tall and dozens feet long. I thought the whole fuckin jungle was about to incinerate and we’d be on the news.
everyone grabbed banana leaves and together with the thai army we started smacking at the fire line. it was so hot. somehow we were able to put it out. I have no idea how, but that was a wild time
