I found these pics of a rocket powered t max. it used 5 rocket engines, but on this particular run, only one fired corectly. The other 4 fired backwards. Figure the rest out from the pics.

That stuff is pretty old. He did that a looooong time ago! But still, it's pretty cool. You should have seen the vid! 
By the way, I forget what site that was from. Can you give the url to me?

I actually went to the URL that was provided, read the page, and watched the videos. The truck was indeed running when he fired the engine. He only had one fire because the 9 volt batteries he was using to fire the ignitors wouldn't do all 6 rocket engines. At the end of the burn, the single engine ignited the other 5 unused engines from the wrong end, making them fire out the top (front) instead of the bottom (back). Why didn't he try to put out the fire? You cannot extinguish solid rocket boosters once they have started. The solid chemical fuel they have contains it's own oxygen component. You can even submerge it in water and it will still run until it uses up all its fuel.

Well, I gues this video is coming from guys who do this on purpose !! The mess up rides and make vid's of it and sell them for big money. No one is this stupid to do this unless he's a real *sshole.
