How tf is he an @$$hole? It's a chemistry demonstration. You know, science? Since you can't just go out and buy pure sodium, he's likely a teacher, and that's probably his class behind the camera.
Nobody/nothing got hurt, so exactly what did he do that was bad? And I need you to be specific, or I'm just gonna chalk you up as another internet dumb@$$. You and all the morons that upvoted you (and will downvote me.)
Do you know Lithium is, also?
Can you extrapolate from that and understand why it's almost impossible to extinguish a Lithium-ion battery fire?
Now downvote this because Yay! electric cars will save the planet. Get yours today.
Electric cars are 25 times less likely to catch fire than combustion engines. The reality is if a car catches fire nobody is putting it out before the car and property around it is destroyed.
Apart from that: the sodium hydroxide in the river is detrimental for the organisms in it.
But: impressive show!
yeah, because f#@* those water animals and plants, let's treat them with sodium hydroxide?
And also chemical burns risk to spectators (but they would get some experience in open environment chemistry demonstrations).
