it's a fake and a bad one at that. Look at the 3 frames of the actual explosion. The first frame shows a skyline with trees. The sky is a bit orange due to a lowering sun. The explosion frame shows those trees faded out, with blue sky magically in place, and all you see is the explosion, not the chunks of watermelon. In fact if you look real close you can see a ghost image of the still-intact watermelon. The third frame shows a much more advanced sunset and no watermelon.

So what this goober did was to get stock footage of an explosion from somewhere and superimpose it (BADLY) over his watermelon, which he then removed from the pole before shooting more video of the scene.


As for this binary explosive crap - - uhh, MANY explosives are made by combining inert substances. Saltpeter is not explosive (it's used in incense to make the stick burn more evenly), and neither is sulpher, but if you combine them they make gunpowder. Voila, binary explosive.

Oh, and even if the explosion were real, as Gallagher has proven, watermelons aren't exactly hard to destroy.
