This one will be lit 21:00 CEST (Oslo, Paris, Berlin etc) - and it's 47.4m tall.
It's the tallest in the world, it's a midsummer (st.hans) celebration thing. We've done this for over 50 years, but here are some details of the last ten:
2007: ca. 24 meters (tipped over) 2008: ca. 30 meters (tipped over) 2009: ca. 33 meters (tipped over) 2010: 40,45 meters - World record (tipped over) 2011: ca. 28 meters (tipped over) 2012: ca. 33 meters (tipped over) 2013: ca 27 meters 2014: ca. 33 meters (tipped over) 2015: ca. 34 meters (tipped over) 2016: ca. 47.4 meters - New world record (it will definitely tip over)
If anyone should want to watch a live stream, by any chance, then here it is:
No. The north part of our state catches fire like clockwork every year, around June. Fire season doesn't end until like November, when the heat dies down a bit.
Landon Lee
this
norwegians are eager and willing to burn their own fucking flag
Connor White
This desu. Our version of midsummer just involves fireworks. Big fires remind us of wildfires.
Juan Robinson
No big bonfires?
Josiah Ortiz
Well, I suppose the people who put the flag there didn't think about that desu.
Bonfires are more of a 'get together with family and friends, cook some food, and drink shitloads of alcohol' thing here.
Julian Gomez
the flag will most likely be removed
Benjamin Clark
We shall see in a bit. It's gonna be lit in 10 minutes.
Ian Allen
this just burn ivory coast's like normal protestants do
Jordan Gutierrez
Oh fugg
fireworgs
Lincoln Sullivan
When will it burn?
Mason Stewart
I'm assuming soon. There are dudes climbing it right now.
Eli Bell
Aw, i see them now
Will take some time then
Att norrbaggar aldrig kan hålla tiden..
Jonathan Thomas
lol. this cant be live. it is not dark outside, baka.
Blake Bennett
FLAG REMOVED
Julian Thompson
They just took it down.
Cooper Howard
...
Joseph Bell
how long until they light it?
Dominic Cooper
Nice. I'm glad they didnt fuck up that part.
Angel Parker
Okay, I'll post in here instead of Didn't see this one.
Eli Kelly
They are gonna do it now. If you're watching the stream, they'll do it now.
Nolan Lopez
...
Dominic Perez
theres still 2 guys standing on the top
Justin Turner
They're lighting it top down. Develops enough heat to burn all of it at the bottom (eventually)
Brandon Price
...
Joshua Stewart
weird, I thought they would have lit it at the bottom
is it just the camera angle or is it slightly off balance?
do they guys climb down or just leap into the water
Benjamin Martinez
i see fire
Hudson Diaz
absolute madmen on the top
Alexander Ross
Who the hell starts a fire on the top?
Luis Lee
...
Jose Johnson
They did that once 20 years ago or something, as they thought it took too long time for it to burn on the top. Then it all crashed into the water far too soon and everyone was disappointed.
Don't get me wrong, this one too will definitely tip over, but probably not in a good while.
Thomas Brooks
Anyone who wants to see it burn for hours instead of crashing down preemted.
Justin Lopez
I would love to visit norway for an event like this
seems like a good excuse to get drunk with the lads
how many people attend?
Jaxson Edwards
are those dudes climbing down using a safety harnass or are they just yoling it?
Zachary Price
Hur lång tid tar det innan den brinner ordentligt?
Kevin Smith
stream doesn't work for me
Elijah Bennett
do you have a llivestream?
Elijah Jackson
Wish I was on one of those boats.
Jaxon Jones
See op:s link
Nicholas Clark
Probably yoloing it, but I'm not sure. Maybe they're linked to each other.
Par timer, tror jeg, maks. Men det blir lys lue innen noen minutter
Man, fuck reality. I want to jump to a moment when that really burns when ever I go to the stream...
Literally in OPs post.
Ryder Sanders
...
Nicholas Garcia
sorry i am retarded
Liam Miller
And here i was hoping for one of the guys being a sacrificial offering. Guessing the Norwegians are confident the oil still flows un-appeased.
Jayden Walker
Every year first saturday after the 23 of june, in Ålesund. Lots of people drink, and if you look normal and have social skills, you'll be able to befriend some norwegians who will let you join them in their boat to watch it up close. You can nevertheless go to the location too, it's lots of people there drinking.
ok I am socially normal and scandis always seem nice when I meet them irl, I will try and go next year, marked in my diary. ty user
Jaxson Watson
thanks a lot britbong
John Thompson
much better link
Wyatt Adams
Are these fire common today like majbrasor?
Joseph Gonzalez
Good, if you make a thread in here I'll meet you myself. Just don't kill me.
Thomas Morris
Most commonly on St. Hans, which was the day before yesterday. But the fire we're watching now is traditionally like says
Ethan White
cool, i'll try to remember see you in 1 year :)
David Watson
>tfw youtube stream starts playing norge music
Aiden Mitchell
Don't you guys celebrate midsommar? ;o
Leo Parker
very emotional
Hudson Barnes
No, sadly not. :(
William Gray
thought it was swedish first
Elijah Wilson
See you, lad. :^)
Julian White
>tfw you don't own a yacht >tfw you have no cute arian kids >tfw you sit at home drinking alone today instead of being htere
Jaxon Lopez
Or, well yes, but it's called "Saint Hans eve"
Landon Ward
why the hell are they watering it?
Samuel Thomas
To control the rate of combustion. They don't want the foundation to burn too fast.
Also, people dont wanna get wet, so it turns out safer.
Alexander Myers
is it raining?
also why are they blasting water onto the bonfire?
Nicholas Turner
>if we spray water on it maybe it will burn faster
t.norcuck education
what a bunch of autists
Matthew Gutierrez
IT STARTED
Ian Sanders
the youtube stream is 90% boats 10% fire
John Adams
Our midsummer shifts dates
Nolan Butler
The first stage is pretty slow and cool. After it over-ignites it will basically go foom. When they water it, they make sure it doesn't just fall over before it has time to ignite all the way.
Camden Gonzalez
maybe they should do the same on the other side so it burns equally, else it might tip over
Julian Hall
Do you guy think these people know that some creeps all around the world watch them on their boats?
Brandon Rogers
it has some nice angles though
Nicholas Brown
Because they don't want it all to catch fire and tip over. The goal is to let it burn all the way down, but that won't happen.
Dylan Kelly
I think the plan is to make sure it tips to one direction, but I'm not sure. Maybe they'll take the rescue boat to the other side later on.
No, I actually don't think so!
Josiah Campbell
have faith, it's gonna happen!
Julian Reyes
I don't think they suspect that at all
Carter Williams
eat shit and die german scumbag
Levi Hill
It gonna fall on the boats
Luke Hernandez
>this is the most exciting thing Norwegians are going to see all year >"Bonfire tips over again" bound to be the headline in every major publication tomorrow, relegating Brexit to page two I'm watching, though.
Jordan Gonzalez
Drown yourself :DDD
Jason Brown
>Zara Larsson (music) in the background
SWEDEN MENTIONED
Juan James
dunno the lady on the side of the boat seems to keep looking straight into the camera
Jace Gray
>25th of june >everyone's wearing jackets and hats
wow i'm glad i don't have to live on the west coast
Adrian Lopez
Well, maybe they do now.
Sebastian Ramirez
She probably just thinks it's the local news or something. If she knew she would be observed in the tab adjacent to loli porn and futa dogs...
Slow TV is best TV.
Juan Bennett
Let's hope. But it's gonna take a while, I hope you have some snacks for this great entertainment.
Pic related: they do not use anything but their own hands to build this. It's why they also are so proud when they finish. It's a whole community that do this every year, and they have so for many decades.
Ryan Turner
The girl on top of the roof in red is the one with attitude who might fuck a migrant one day, her sister (?) is that a bit weird girl who will be hotter than her, but only around the end of their highschool.
