That must be why they have "No Smoking" signs in them.

I hope, should I have the misfortune of having my house catch on fire, that it goes down like that.
Wow. |

Geez... I'd say the cameraman got fucked up by that last explosion. Anyone understand the language of that last commentary.
Damn... that's some serious shit. |

Was that the factory in the Netherlands? The language sounded close to English.

Best fireworks show ever!
I wonder what caused the massive explosions... drums of gunpowder, maybe? The little slow-mo clip at the end, you can see the shock wave from the explosion... coooooooollll. |

Here's some follow up articles I googled about this. That last explosion wiped out "blocks" of buildings, and flattened something like 400 homes. A couple dozen people died. (Probaby including the cameraman that took that video). www.rnw.nl/hotspots/html/enschede010511.html www.wsws.org/articles/2000/may2000/neth-m31.shtml From the above article:

Well it look like the guy filimg was really close to the actionbut the roof vs distance of warehouse. I wouldn't be supprised if he died and when the building he was filming from colapsed.

Yeah... If you look at the "slo-mo" at the end of the video, when he pans down from the column of smoke right before the massive explosion, you can see a little clump of trees between his vantage point and the action. If you look at the "before" and "after" photos I posted above, you'll see what appears to be that clump of trees sort of between 3 and 5 o'clock on the oval circling the factor. That suggests the roof from which this guy was filming was one of the buildings that look like "ladders" in the before picture. They appear to have been wiped out in the after picture. Here's another photo, only 18 hours after the incident which shows none of those trees left standing and the buildings in the vicinity obliterated.  That's some serious scary shit. |

Looked like the Jennings, OK fireworks factory that blew a few years back. Bad scene, all employees on that shift were dead.
