I saw a 6' joint of 4" heavy wall pipe launch a dead rat over 1000'.



Now I've heard plenty of gas torch brags, but doesn't this one
just beat the band?

Actually I can't take credit for it, but I did witness it years ago on
my shift. One of the funnier things I have seen. The rat traveled
hundreds of feet through and industrial shop, clearing two overhead
bridge cranes and exiting the building through a crane way door at the
end of the building. It was winter time and the main doors were
closed. I think the funniest part was the vapor trail. He was
literally smoking and leaving a faint trail as he left. He had been
caught near the lunch tables on a 480 volt rat trap, so we actually
smoked him twice.


What did you use for a sabot ??---It looks like the aerodynamic drag
on a rats
carcass would be pretty high..Jerry
