The Last Witch Hunter

It's so weird seeing Vin Diesel with facial hair.

But actually I thought it looks better than I expected. The only thing I knew about this was from a picture of him with that beard, and from knowing it somehow was inspired by D&D.

There's no way that's fuel. The truck wouldn't have been able to stop like that rolling over uber-slick diesel. That's radiator fluid. Makes sense, seeing as how it landed with the front end crashing down. Blew a tire either on the landing or the spin too.

Wow. That was awesome, but could have easily knocked a big hole through that ugly building (probably an orthodontist office). A win for aesthetics, but a loss for the insurance industry.

And is that a big trail of diesel its leaving behind it as it slides? I approve of this stunt in its entirety. The world needs more ridiculous stuff like this just for the shear stupid fun of it.

Meh, just weld on some armour plate.

I'm still waiting on someone in the walking dead using my idea of harvesting walkers to create bio-diesel. I find it hard to believe no pragmatic-minded people survived the outbreak.

You and everyone else, that's the problem - not enough to go around. Also slow moving and therefore not safe against bandits.

Tommy, you're giving stoned drivers a bad image with this.

@StukaFox, yeah, in Cali we got all kinds of diesel...sour, blueberry, bubblegum, diesel/wreck, etc. Now we just need to make it legal.

..And remembered that it was a diesel engine.

Edit: Although, in an alternate universe, the poster made sure to reply in the video thread instead of posting on another user's wall.

You are partially correct, I listed the rank of a top submarine officer incorrectly, but not his position, I'm not in the Navy. He was Executive Officer of the first nuclear sub, but only First Lieutenant of the diesel. EDIT: He "qualified for command" of the nuclear sub...probably why I thought "commander" but properly should have said "was in command". Shortly after being assigned to lead the nuclear sub trials, after helping design and build it, he led the American shut down of the Chalk River reactor, lest you continue to insinuate he was an 'armchair warrior' that never held command.

◾16 OCT 1952 - 08 OCT 1953 -- Duty with US Atomic Energy Commission (Division of Reactor Development, Schenectady Operations Office) From 3 NOV 1952 to 1 MAR 1953 he served on temporary duty with Naval Reactors Branch, US Atomic Energy Commission, Washington, D.C. "assisting in the design and development of nuclear propulsion plants for naval vessels." From 1 MAR 1953 to 8 OCT 1953 he was under instruction to become an engineering officer for a nuclear power plant. He also assisted in setting up on-the-job training for the enlisted men being instructed in nuclear propulsion for the USS Seawolf (SSN575).


On December 12, 1952, an accident with the experimental NRX reactor at Atomic Energy of Canada's Chalk River Laboratories caused a partial meltdown. The resulting explosion caused millions of liters of radioactive water to flood the reactor building's basement, and the reactor's core was no longer usable.[7] Carter was ordered to Chalk River, joining other American and Canadian service personnel. He was the officer in charge of the U.S. team assisting in the shutdown of the Chalk River Nuclear Reactor.[8] The painstaking process required each team member, including Carter, to don protective gear, and be lowered individually into the reactor to disassemble it for minutes at a time. During and after his presidency, Carter indicated that his experience at Chalk River shaped his views on nuclear power and nuclear weapons, including his decision not to pursue completion of the neutron bomb.[9]

Just to correct a few fantasies here...Carter completed qualification to run a diesel sub, he was never the commander of a nuclear sub. He was never the captain of any ship, apparently, except the ship of state, which he proceeded to drive onto the sandbar of malaise.
