Not responsible for deaths caused by flamethrower usage in the sewer or the sudden ignition of gasses.
4481368 Killing things with fire is a great attitude to have! It is encouraged!
IIRC, you've mentioned tanks being moved south...
Well, it seems to me that they need some thermobaric rounds for the main gun. Ya know, for clearing out caves and tunnels...

Let's flood the sewers with something flammable, close all lids with extra magic protection, throw a burning match into the last and close it. Flambéed rat, coming up.

Physics states that this is a bad idea.
If I hold a firecracker in the flat of my hand and it explodes, it is harmless. It might sting a little, but harmless.
If I close my hand into fist, the same firecracker might blow my fingers off.
Igniting gasses in a pressurised, sealed environment is dangerous.![:rainbowderp:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowderp.png)

Sorry. Forgot to mention the various pressure relieve valve-portals into Tartarus and on other enemy states.
They cover funeral costs! Damn. Not many would do that, that shit's expensive.
Clearly, all available evidence suggests that Equestria is a very dangerous place.

If they are sustainably harvested, then they are doing it wrong and Flicker'll be pissed.

I guess it depends on what "their" goal actually is
It's either that or a Godling. Pick your poison.
4481368 Yeah, about that...![:facehoof:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/facehoof.png)
Shame he wasn't standing on it, natural selection at work again.
Didn't know Spud had powers?
And then this also entered my view, canon precedent for catching devices.![:trixieshiftright:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/trixieshiftright.png)

I lived through this, granted I was only 10 at the time, but talk about traumatic! Not to mention one of the greatest generators of pop-culture in KY at the time. "Were where you when the sewers blew?"
