“During the trophy presentation a group of players & team executives, including captain William, were lifted into the air as the fans cheered on. The platform was spouting fireworks, and streamers were then fired off towards everyone who was holding the trophy.
Those of you who are aware that paper is flammable can guess what happens next.
A giant ball of flame engulfs William, but somehow everyone manages to pull all of the streamers off of him before he is burned alive.”
Paulista organizers: “First, we’ll raise them out of range of any on hand fire men. Then we will cover them in highly flammable streamers and confetti. Next, we engulf them in a shower of sparks. I don’t see any possible problems with our plan”
I like how they played it off when they came back to the ground…’Oh dont mind that huge ball of fire while youre 15 feet up in the air, the 4 or 5 of you will be JUUUUST fine.’
Wow, it looked one of them should have had some serious burns and then they get down and just carry on celebrating!
