Does /int/ like fires?
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:

I guess not
>>61292270
>burning your own flag
but why
>>61292270
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.
>>61296202
this
norwegians are eager and willing to burn their own fucking flag
>>61296294
This desu. Our version of midsummer just involves fireworks. Big fires remind us of wildfires.
>>61296450
No big bonfires?
>>61296202
Well, I suppose the people who put the flag there didn't think about that desu.
>>61296788
This is about as big as they get: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbBsiPM38L4
Bonfires are more of a 'get together with family and friends, cook some food, and drink shitloads of alcohol' thing here.
>>61296202
the flag will most likely be removed
>>61297004
We shall see in a bit. It's gonna be lit in 10 minutes.
>>61296202
this
just burn ivory coast's like normal protestants do
Oh fugg
fireworgs
When will it burn?
>>61297852
I'm assuming soon. There are dudes climbing it right now.
>>61297903
Aw, i see them now
Will take some time then
Att norrbaggar aldrig kan hålla tiden..
lol. this cant be live. it is not dark outside, baka.
FLAG REMOVED
>>61296202
They just took it down.
>>61296202
>>61296844
>>61297004
>>61297132
how long until they light it?
>>61298208
Nice. I'm glad they didnt fuck up that part.
Okay, I'll post in here instead of >>61297648
Didn't see this one.
>>61298294
They are gonna do it now. If you're watching the stream, they'll do it now.
>>61298294
>>61298294
>>61298363
theres still 2 guys standing on the top
>>61298425
They're lighting it top down. Develops enough heat to burn all of it at the bottom (eventually)
>>61298460
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
i see fire
absolute madmen on the top
Who the hell starts a fire on the top?
>>61298569
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.
>>61298661
Anyone who wants to see it burn for hours instead of crashing down preemted.
>>61298680
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?
are those dudes climbing down using a safety harnass or are they just yoling it?
Hur lång tid tar det innan den brinner ordentligt?
stream doesn't work for me
do you have a llivestream?
Wish I was on one of those boats.
>>61298818
See op:s link
>>61298768
Probably yoloing it, but I'm not sure. Maybe they're linked to each other.
>>61298800
Par timer, tror jeg, maks. Men det blir lys lue innen noen minutter
>>61298818
>do you have a llivestream?
http://www.smp.no/nyheter/2016/06/23/Slinningsb%C3%A5let-minutt-for-minutt-12937808.ece
Man, fuck reality. I want to jump to a moment when that really burns when ever I go to the stream...
>>61298818
Literally in OPs post.
>>61298861
>>61298890
>>61298894
sorry i am retarded
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.
>>61298764
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.
Live on youtube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yGg-ODGnbw
>>61298991
she's inside :^D
hope it doesn't tip over
>>61299003
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 anon
>>61299007
thanks a lot britbong
>>61299007
much better link
Are these fire common today like majbrasor?
>>61299080
Good, if you make a thread in here I'll meet you myself. Just don't kill me.
>>61299152
Most commonly on St. Hans, which was the day before yesterday. But the fire we're watching now is traditionally like >>61299003 says
>>61299219
cool, i'll try to remember
see you in 1 year :)
>tfw youtube stream starts playing norge music
>>61299232
Don't you guys celebrate midsommar? ;o
>>61299340
very emotional
>>61299361
No, sadly not. :(
>>61299340
thought it was swedish first
>>61299291
See you, lad. :^)
>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
>>61299361
Or, well yes, but it's called "Saint Hans eve"
why the hell are they watering it?
>>61299474
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.
>>61299417
is it raining?
also why are they blasting water onto the bonfire?
>>61299007
>if we spray water on it maybe it will burn faster
t.norcuck education
what a bunch of autists
IT STARTED
the youtube stream is 90% boats 10% fire
>>61299459
Our midsummer shifts dates
>>61299518
>>61299498
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.
>>61299495
maybe they should do the same on the other side so it burns equally, else it might tip over
>>61299551
Do you guy think these people know that some creeps all around the world watch them on their boats?
>>61299551
it has some nice angles though
>>61299498
>>61299474
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.
>>61299594
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.
>>61299600
No, I actually don't think so!
>>61299648
have faith, it's gonna happen!
>>61299600
I don't think they suspect that at all
>>61299457
eat shit and die german scumbag
It gonna fall on the boats
>>61292270

wow i'm glad i don't have to live on the west coast
>>61299724
>>61299674
Well, maybe they do now.
>>61299806
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...
>>61299760
Slow TV is best TV.
>>61299692
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.
>>61299724
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.
>>61299739
W-why?
Listening to anything special during this?
https://youtu.be/KuwpQc6Diqs I suggest this
by the thing is on fire
>>61299818
It's the wind. Out by the fjords there's nothing to block it. Chills you to the bone without a jacket and something to cover your ears.
>>61299957
Wardruna is much better than this Heen guy.

>>61299886
nice to see finnish people helping out
>>61299007
i wonder if they are smart enough to keep proper distance this year
>>61300042
Did they died?
>>61300078
No. Nobody ever died due to this annual bonfire, knock the wood.
Happy midsummer, guise.
the fire rises
>>61300173
happy that, nothing beats waking up and being unable to guess what time by the light streaming in through the window
>>61300028
No, they mean "latest".
>>61300173
Skål!
>>61300078
>>61300155
no but there have been some close calls
>ålesund
why does this city have an absolutely absurd amount of thai women in it?
So many qtπs
>>61300217
Skål!
>>61300214
ah my bad - my Norwegian ain't the best
>>61300229
The nordic male is tired of the traditionally spoiled, capitalistic and entitled nordic woman.
>>61300226
Every year there are some close calls imo. It's crazy they let drunk people get so close. But that's part of the charm.
Yo can I go get some refreshments or will I miss the whole thing going down? It wont take more than 10 minutes.
>>61300229
It doesn't. I mean, we do have them, I've seen it, but it's not in an extent that would differ a lot from other Norwegian cities.
>>61300038
Kek
>>61300286
This is actually very true.
Other than finding yourself a traditional wife who takes her duties with pride, going to the far east is the only way to remain sane for many men. If you work every day and just hear whiny demands to work even more when you come home, you need a Wife. Not a spouse.
>>61300286
instead he wants his kids to be elliot rodger?
>>61300305
hopefully someone's recording the stream just in case
>>61300038
Lel. Yes.
>>61300355
Go, go, it will take some time.
>>61300374

Shit, I didn't see.
WHERE'S THE REPLAY
So is this an annual sacrifice to the Gods that Norway will have butter for christmas?
>>61301600
You can rewind the stream, but it wasn't very interesting really.
>>61301600
keep watching, more is being broken apart.
>>61301643
See
>>61298554
It's a pagan custom, too strong to quench for the Church. I guess it's offering for a warm and long summer, a good harvest and a mild winter.
>>61301600
It was just one plank, but it felt dramatic. Keep watching and you'll see more!
HOLY SHIT IT'S RAINING FIRE
I saw some now :3
>>61301784
>>61301784
Soon the dark lord awakens.
>>61301643
Not that's what the peeled bananas are for. It is believed that the shortage was caused by a Swede not meeting his quota.
SOMETHING FELL DOWN AGAIN!!
pls don't fall tower, not with slow music playing
>>61301932
BOAT TEAM IS DOING THEIR BEST TO PUT OUT THE SPILLAGE
GODS BLESS EM
They need to pull back a bit 2bh
Shit's going to get dangerous pretty soon
Diggin this stream desu
I see fire inside the structure. The middle bit.
>>61302007
Pretty much. If the tower falls towards land fire and brimstone spew all over the audience
Though it seems it's skewed towards water
>>61302047
So do I. Could be getting fun soon
>>61302084
Small bits are falling down!!1
>>61302072
that seems to have happened here
>>61300226
and they were hunkey dorey
holy shit
diesel fuel can't melt wood beams
Kicking it up a notch! Get your generals the fuck in here, /int/ernauts
[burning internally]
>>61302161
They got it though, phew.
BURN FASTER
The integrity of the top layer is being compromised, are we reaching critical mass yet?
They say wood can burn hotter than the inner core of our world.
burn baby burn!
are those air spin shots done with a drone? thats pretty neat if so (well as im typing this i think i hear a heli on the stream..)
Norwegians who live in the North, is it weird in the summertime when the sun doesn't set? I could imagine it messes with your sleep schedule a bit.
>>61302316
There's a couple drones there, one of which is streaming to the youtube-stream.
Helis are probably police surveying the area.
I see my house on this stream, didn't even think about it until now.
>>61302300
Wood fire can't melt wood pallets
>>61302351
I guess it could be a problem when you arent used to it. As someone who grew up with that kinda shit I have never had any problem with it.
>>61302376
Are you in it?
>>61302351
Personally I use proper roll down curtains that barely let any light in, so annoying to sleep in the light.
>>61302351
No. You just fill in all the gaps in your windows and it's fine. It IS bothersome to me a at least because it won't get cold at night so I wake up drowned in sweat and a dried up mouth.
>>61302351
They sleep during winter
This is bringing back bad memories...
Now we're getting somewhere. Plenty of secondary fires along the sides now.
I bet the eco nuts would go berserk if you suggested burning ten thousand pallets in Germany.
Oh shit, i can win a 5000 nok giftcard at MODO :o
>>61302351
It does actually set (barely) here, where this bonfire takes place, albeit it doesn't get dark or anything. It hasn't set yet (it's 22:47 now), but it will 23:37, and then rise again 03:39. During the time it's below the horizon it will still be bright as pic related. It's worse in northern norway where the sun doesn't set at all.
>>61302376
can you see it from your window?
>>61302545
DESU this wooden pile seems to be holding up to fire better than your steel beams.
>>61302589
>uses literal brown coal to power your fucking machines
Nah, bro.
Besides, our country is overgrowing with forest. It's a huge problem. Burning pallets doesn't even put a dent in it.
>>61302468
Yes I'm in it. I'm looking at myself in slow-tv entertainment.

>>61302546
The planks hold too much water to catch fire.
>>61302688
Yeah, lots of side fires
How do they light it? With a flaming arrow?
>>61302774
They climbed up, the absolute madmen.
>>61298671
>>61302774
A man climbed up and lit it.
>>61302692
My older sister is using the boat, and the few friends I've got don't bother go out watching it so then I don't either. Besides, I've been there 20 times before.
>>61302810
>>61302798
WTF that seems incredibly dangerous.
My god they just scared me with the music
Instead of spraying water they should be spraying petrol or kerosene. And maybe put a few pieces of dynamite within each layer.
>>61302821
shes probably getting railed right now and it coulve been you nailing her
>>61302821
Are you with your friend then? Can you see the fire from you house, if so, post pic
>>61302798
>>61302810
did he come back down?
>Heen
Gi meg Burzum!
>>61298396
>>61302774
THey actually went all the way to the top and lit a smaller fire there. It took like 30 mins to catch properly.
>>61302886
Ayyup. But they've been climbing up and down to build it anyways, one more trip doesn't add up to intolerable risk.
>>61302938
No, he was offered to Odin.
>>61302938
No, it's part of the ritual, they sacrifice themselves to the flames.
