Do fireworks were expensive and saved for rich people's celebrations. A metal work figures out that you could throw metal liquid and it would have a similar effect and it became a tradition.
This is the kind of shit that would get us in SO MUCH TROUBLE as kids. EVEN if were literally doing it at a lakeside so it WOULDN'T have the chance to set anything on fire. (elder GenX here, still feral as hell)
As a career firefighter, I can tell you that Firefighters actually are some of the biggest pyros I know. We love this shit. Medics on the other hand, are not so pleased, but get paid because of stupid shit, so yeah.
I imagine they get home after this and undress for bed. They carefully place their shirts in the garage bin as they are full of tiny holes from the sparks. All is right with the world
It's not white phosphorus. There are videos of soldiers standing directly under these munitions and they don't get harmed. Honestly I'm not even sure what the point of these munitions was and I don't see them being used anymore. They probably thought they could start some brush fires or detonate munitions or something. It really did fuck all in the end. There isn't a single video of them actually achieving anything.
Only if you use it as an incendiary weapon against civilians in a civilian setting. Like Israel did in Gaza in 2008-2009 for example. It can be used to make smoke and that's apparently fine. Not sure if this particular example would count given I have zero context.
I'm no war-criminologist, but I presume the spirit is dont drop actual fire on people, which this very much appears to be dropping fire on bunch of man-made structures
Flamethrowers are not banned in any treaties either, they are just not practical weapons. China still has them as part of their standing army, though mostly for show it seems.

They have far too much trust in their hats. At least wear some goggles.

Yup... although I tried to to expand the video - they might be wearing some clear goggles. Hard to tell.

this needs sound
Hendlton
The only sound you'd hear is the sound of a drone flying. I don't think they even have microphones.

Yay warcrimes. White phosphorus was a big no-no internationally, last time i checked.

Though you're allowed to use it to "mark targets" so most countries just drop it on people anyway.
