Weapons grade Bravo Sierra. It doesn't take much to light up a modern car, and once it's lit, it burns to ash with no extra help. Tires, plastic body panels, fuel, oil, plastic interior... yes, plenty hot enough to melt aluminum.

Enough with the science fiction fantasy already.

Thank you for your contribution. Our government is evil. Live with it.

Add to that, DEW’s require straight line targeting. You can’t aim it into the air and make it curve down to hit another surface target.

Yup. There are tin-hat videos all over the web of F150 trucks melted into oblivion.

They even covered the same topic re 9/11:

Oh look: They used DEW in CA, too /s

I have seen exactly that happen. A car near our home struck a telephone pole, burst into flame, and simply melted. Nothing was left except ash, some burnt, twisted metal, and pools of melted aluminum. I picked up a small aluminum ingot as a souvenir.

I’m more curious about how fast this relatively new conspiracy trope (DEW) is being introduced into a flaky situation.

Looks like a situation where some beneficial use of AI would be handy, to track down who started this, when and where.

Yup. A buddy of mine in the USAF had a car fire from a carb backfire. Melted everything plastic, the seats, and the front tires (rear of the vehicle was spared by a relatively quick response by the base fire department. Even melted the windshield onto the dash. Didn't melt the steel. It was an old 1970s Toyota FJ-40. Insurance totaled it and he bought it back from them and rebuilt it.

Yep…. In 1976 I knew a guy whose girlfriend dropped a lit joint under her front bucket seat while they were going down the road. Whole car burnt to nothing except metal frame and engine block. Todays cars would go up even faster and easier.
