The video is also on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcI3kF2zNBoTo add some information, these guys are from Norway and if you don't understand what they're saying - no worries; they're only talking rubbish anyways. They have a advertising firm and used this stunt to hire a consultant to come work for them and get them more work/contracts. It looks fake to me, but...I mean who wouldnt want to see 200kilos and 450 litres of water mixed together

I just saw this video and was coming here to submit it.
I guess it's feasible, we all know that the first part works (1 tbsp powder to 1 tbsp water) so there's no reason why it wouldn't work on a larger scale (200kg powder to 450 litres of water). The question is would the explosion be of the magnitude shown in that video.
It's hard to tell if this is faked or not as the camera gets blocked so it's difficult to see if there are any cuts or edits.
I'd definately be interested in seeing Adam and Jamie tackle this one.

This is clearly fake. Of course it can be done but not the way they're doing it. They just put the upper half of the (flimsy) conntainer on top of the bottom half. There's no way any pressure could build up in such a weak construction. And besides that, it would take way too long to fill the container the way they're doing it. When you're mixing those 2 ingredients together it immediately starts to fizzle so you'd have to have some kind of trigger mechanism inside the sealed container to quickly release the 2 together.

But on the other side could MB make this story real?
The Norwegians in the movie is not saying much byond laughs and drunk stuff.
