    Oh damn, that looked like it triggered a secondary explosion pretty much immediately.

    Congratulations to the Russian Navy on their new submarine lol :D

      Didn’t seem like it to me. Playing at .5x speed (available in the streamable player), it seems like the flash comes from panning too much to the left close to a light.

      Either way, hope it’s fucked beyond repair 🤟
