Richard Ryan, the host of the YouTube series "Rated RR," built a Christmas tree using an aluminum rod, string and detonating cord, a thin – flexible plastic tube filled with C4 explosives that explode at a rate of roughly 4 miles per second.
RR's neighbors need not worry: the tree was constructed in the desert.
It's not the first time Ryan has used "det cord" in his videos. Earlier this year, he used the tube to detonate a keg of beer and, in October, celebrated Halloween by detonating a pumpkin.
Video of Ryan's exploding Christmas tree was uploaded to YouTube on Monday. And the explosion happens so fast, it needs to be viewed in slow motion.
