AIS FORENSIC VIDEO
The
video is the bursting of a residential hot water boiler at operating temperature.
Allegedly, a similar residential hot water boiler was asserted to have
exploded and threw itself forward through a wood studded wall with subsequent
rolling over a distance of less than several yards in a finished basement
with fittings and piping torn away. At the laboratory, the video shows
a similar boiler bursting at operating temperature with no piping attached
and the boiler was placed at the same distance from the masonry wall as
the alleged hot water boiler. The video shows there is very little steam
produced and there is no thrusting against the masonry wall of the hot
water and fragments from the burst. The boiler did not move forward either.
