Our colleagues from the Turkish fact-checking website Teyit, who verified the same video, mentioned in their article a similar video shot at a gun show in the southern US state of Kentucky.

Keri Sumner, manager for the Knob Creek Gun Range, an open air shooting range near West Point, Kentucky, told AFP in an email that the video indeed shows an event organized on their premises twice a year, although she was not able to specify when exactly.

The cars set up down range, the timing starts and the explosive charges we have set up once someone hits the barrels of gasoline giving the large fireballs,” Sumner, who is the daughter of the range owner and social media manager for the company, said.
