A Chinese fire drill. No, really.

I imagine that, like a lot of phrases many of us heard growing up, the term “Chinese fire drill” may no longer be politically correct. But that is exactly what this is. If you believe Wikipedia, “a  Chinese fire drill is an act—especially, any large, ineffective, and chaotic exercise—by a group of individuals that accomplishes nothing.” I think that describes the video above. In addition, the caption indicates these are, in fact, firefighters from China.

Rhett Fleitz also spotted this video on YouTube last night and made the observation, “It just doesn’t seem to be a good idea”. Yes, more hard hitting commentary from THE Fire Critic. He really sticks his neck out there, doesn’t he?

The video seems akin to the one below that has been around for a couple of years showing firefighters giving a car a hydaulic lift.
