I don't know whether to be relieved or disappointed that it wasn't the Talladega Nights scene.

Yes! But there's another 1, the original maybe, where no one knows what the hell is going on.

I mean, you know what you're looking at, and they're explaining what's happening, but it still doesn't make any sense. It's just crazy...

I believe it's the same video, but with different live commentary - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fmcfs6VP0nY

This one?

Yes that's what I mean it's just chaos and fear in the announcer that makes it so dramatic. And they keep saying "they're really on fire! They're really on fire!" but it makes no sense. It's just surreal.

Methanol fuel, I believe.

That announcer made me feel it, for sure.
