Looks like a long line of people waiting their turn to point and say "Ha Ha"

It's a distinct possibility! 😂

 

I just loved the way he ignored the huge sparks at the start, then kept on trying to start it when it was on fire! Prime candidate indeed...

Haha I agree. At what point does having the engine running put out the fire 😂. Unless he thought the fan would help........
