I wish there was an audio.
Bystander: "What the ***** man, what was that about"
Firebomber: "Haha showed you didn't, with your pretty girls, ***** society"
Bystander: "Nothing really happened... you just kind of made a blaze for a second and lit yourself on fire..
Firebomber: "HAHA, go back to your job and girlfriend at the club, I'm going to go listen to death metal" - Jenadae, on 03/01/2008, -15/+180I cant believe you guys have such active camera monitors over there... kinda scary.
- checkacheck, on 03/01/2008, -8/+163anyone seen Ghostrider?
- jstem1994, on 03/01/2008, -0/+140"Mom? Yeah my moped broke down again. Could you come get me?"
- rockrobot, on 03/01/2008, -9/+121Another terrorist plot successfully foiled by the NSA...

- browny1978, on 03/01/2008, -24/+105Milk bottle - 40p, Petrol £1, old second hand motorcycle £100, ***** up a petrol bombing and it making it to youtube - priceless!
- potisreallygood, on 03/01/2008, -8/+89noob
- eliot2000, on 03/01/2008, -5/+82Wait, they're still looking for him?!
he left with a burned bike and body, probably hurt and ON FOOT. Maybe London needs to take some of the money they're spending on videoing every crevice of the city and spend it on some good old-fashioned Bobbies-with-nightsticks technology. - jjones20, on 03/01/2008, -1/+73That was lame, he would have looked so bad ass if he just drove away really fast while on fire, and flipped them off as he sped away.
- mrhahn, on 03/01/2008, -6/+66More likely a chav, so 50 cent rather than death metal
- paulishuku, on 03/01/2008, -1/+55It kind of reminds me of spy vs spy except the white spy is facing the new mentally retarded black spy.
- samBAKER, on 03/01/2008, -1/+52Love how he just walked with his bike back =P
- inactive, on 03/01/2008, -0/+46what makes you think they didn't. the police don't just teleport in an instant.
- moofer, on 03/01/2008, -0/+38Actually, it was very nice of him to hand out free gasoline. That stuff is expensive.
- WoundedCow, on 03/01/2008, -8/+45I can hear it now...
"Dad, I borrowed your motorcycle last night. Something happened however. It wouldn't start for some reason when I needed it to. You should really have a qualified mechanic look at it.
"Melted? Oh, um dad, that happened when...um...I tried to start it near a club that alomost caught fire...yea you should'a seen it...oh you did?? On YouTube?...um...that wasn't me...it was someone else.
"Um dad, why are you taking your belt off?" - alchemist27, on 03/01/2008, -5/+40yeah. it was *****.
- MoonwalkingBird, on 03/01/2008, -1/+32I have now.
- mickstephenson, on 03/01/2008, -4/+34Murdats your an idiot, people dont have the right to have sex in a town centre and have it remain private at the same time, the world doesnt work like that. Why wouldnt someone perve on you having sex in the street, if he was actually IN the street. are you saying that if you decide to have sex in the street, You have the right of privacy and people should be restricted from entering ur designated sexy street area?
- saxreturns, on 03/01/2008, -3/+326. People who try too hard to be funny on internet forums and comments.
Oh, that's right. I went there. - kiiwii, on 03/01/2008, -2/+29"Hardly difficult to grab the operators attention."
But as soon as the guy started spreading the gas/alcohol/whatever, the camera panned down. Someone noticed something suspicious beforehand. - GreenAlien, on 03/01/2008, -5/+32Imagine a grid of screens in the control room and someone lights a fire. Hardly difficult to grab the operators attention.
And I doubt it was premeditated (any further back than a few mins beforehand) otherwise he wouldn't of been such a tard about it. It was just someone acting out of anger. - saxreturns, on 03/01/2008, -0/+27One operator per camera would be a massive waste of resources - each CCTV operator has a bank of monitors and one or two remote controls that can switch between cameras.
By the way, to give an option 'd', you need three alternatives to represent a, b and c... not two! - GNAAstaos, on 03/01/2008, -7/+31THE NIGHT CLUB BOMBING WAS AN INSIDE JOB! I HOLD IRREFUTABLE PROOF! LOOK AT THE FIRE SPLASHING BACKWARDS, IT WAS CLEARLY A CONTROLLED BURN. YOU SHEEPLE ARE BEING LIED TO!!!!!!
- inactive, on 03/01/2008, -7/+30Yes because without the CCTV's the london bombers would have never been captured.
- jdpalite, on 03/01/2008, -1/+23@mickstepenson - dugg for "ur designated sexy street area"
- unr8d, on 03/01/2008, -1/+23The dude above me is an EPIC FAIL!
- dicknuts, on 03/01/2008, -0/+22Thank you for addressing this issue.
- chris9902, on 03/01/2008, -1/+23By the looks of it he did.
- pnmoore, on 03/01/2008, -6/+27I have no problem with being watched while on a PUBLIC STREET like that, just don't watch me at home or more private places. (like locker rooms, rest rooms, etc.)
- inactive, on 03/01/2008, -9/+29firstly, the idea of a deterrent is utter *****. if it was a deterrent, we wouldn't have this video... the fact is if you are masked or in motorcycle helmet, you're damn near anonymous.
The reason it is scary, is because these cameras are not Crime-Seeking with uber technology, they record everything that happens. With that go some fairly large privacy implications. - pixeleyes, on 03/01/2008, -2/+227. Mudger
- spudnic, on 03/01/2008, -13/+32Yes, we should follow the American model, with your wonderfully low crime rates.
- slowmo, on 03/01/2008, -1/+20It was a Suzuki GS500e. I have been promoted to detective.
- Ultra99, on 03/01/2008, -0/+19All those months and months of planning...what could possibly go wrong??? I'll bet the guy operating the camera was nearly kacking himself laughing wondering if it was really worth caling the police in or not...talk about inept.
- inactive, on 03/01/2008, -1/+19I don't think it would help. This happened 200 miles from London.
- mickstephenson, on 03/01/2008, -11/+29We dont have them outside our houses... what exactly do you guys do out in public areas that u want to keep so secret?
If you get commit a crime like beating the ***** out of someone they dispatch police and lock you up. but the resolution on the camera is not enough to identify you by face. They can only identify you by picking you up in close proximity to the camera and if your wearing the right clothes, right build etc. - widdershins, on 03/01/2008, -1/+19Or blazin' squad...?
- kevyn, on 03/01/2008, -4/+21maybe they should upgrade the cameras so they can actually read the number plates
- isaactwito, on 03/01/2008, -2/+19They actually caught the entire branch of Al Qaeda responsible for this. 53 arrested when all was said and done, now they just have to convince them that they were all in on it.
- Yesplease, on 03/01/2008, -1/+17Hence the usage of "2009" in the description, rather than "2008" which would be the current year.
- kthx, on 03/01/2008, -7/+23Black Metal is probably more appropriate considering he was doing a fire bombing.
- zcreem, on 03/01/2008, -1/+17I guess they figured evolution will do the job for them.
- baalzebub, on 03/01/2008, -2/+18too bad someone did not knock him down and beat the living crap out of him before the cops come to arrest him...
- tgc1, on 03/01/2008, -3/+19 What if *gasp* THEY planned the arson?! OMG!
- Brownye, on 03/01/2008, -2/+18Am I only one that thought it looked like he asked the people to help him start his bike at the end of the video?
- ProfitNot, on 03/01/2008, -2/+17The article below creepily discusses the enthusiasm with which the Atherton, Lancashire (UK) community is embracing their new 500 (!) camera CCTV system. This is, apparently, the community in which this outstandingly intelligent human was filmed.

- bliz, on 03/01/2008, -8/+23Better than wiretapping..
