Mar 9, 2009: Melted Bricks

[xoxoxoBruce]

This old Russian fort, long abandoned, has vaulted red brick chambers typical of fortifications all over the world.
But these fortifications look like they have been frosted like a fancy cake.

The reason for it to have such a strange look is because it was used later by Russian army to test the influence
of Russian alternative to napalm inside of the brick houses.

Due to very high temperature of napalm the bricks started melting just like ice melts in the spring forming the icicles,
but those icicles are of red brick.

I wonder what temperature will melt red bricks that have been fired, laid up, and aged?
I'll bet it would have melted steel too.



Maybe it got so hot it burned through the floor in those two spots.
Pretty safe to say, there were no creepy crawlers surviving that.
