Bille Blowing Rocks From Borehole Video

Adams came to the office and showed us a video he shot on his cell phone. He had never shot video before. We said great can we get a copy. He did not know how. I found a cable and connected it to my computer. It required specific software we did not have. Yakubu then started going through a box of parts for an old phone he had that shot video. He found a little USB device that we could not figure out. Then I looked closer and figured it was a memory card reader. We asked Adams if his phone had a memory card. He did not know. So we took his battery out and there was a memory card. It fit in Yakubu's reader and we have the video. I edited the 2 minutes down to 16 seconds and here it is. The local school is near the borehole. The kids had filled it with corn stalks and concrete block pieces. Adams went out with a big compressor and blow out the hole with a 1 inch line. When you see the splash that is a rock flying out and up 15 to 20 feet into the air.
