Guys, just imagine what it would be like to see this at night....It's the detonation of a fireworks factory, with fireworks still inside. Turn your speakers up reeeaaaaly loud for full effect |-)

WARNING: If fireworks cause bad memories, don't watch, alright?

*shudders* Remembering the incident in Denmark last year. Fun goes out when firefighters loose their lives and people their homes.

Well, if it involved 26 deaths it would be along those lines. It's from a couple of years ago in the Netherlands. Entire houses were completely destroyed in that blast. And Kapitän Awesome, I don't think you would have wanted to be there at the moment, nothing cool about it.

*shrugs* didn't mean to strike a nerve, I just thought that the video was cool. Is this the same incident, or does it dredge up bad memories?

My neighbour in the house behind me was making and storing illegal commercial type fireworks. It blew up in the middle of the night destroying all the glass and lights in our street. Fortunately it never caused any serious structural damage but we've since found out that only a few of them did explode the others for some reason didn't, however we were all evacuated by the bomb squad for about 12 - 14 hours whilst they sorted it out.
The other thing that amazed me was that no one was hurt except for the teenage son of the man in question who had to be hospitalised for a while, I don't know the extent of his injuries but the father was trying to turn away offers of help from his neighbours and later the emergancy services whilst his son was injured.
Heh it was a bit of a shock really even though I was in the house on the side furthest away from him, actually in game at the time. The explosion blew me off my chair and into the wall.

Whew, man steve, that's pretty...traumatizing, to say the least. Perhaps I should put a warning on there...
EDIT: I believe this also deserves an apology...I thought it was nice to watch; I didn't realise that this was a newscast. Sorry for dredging up bad memories

Heh, no problem. But that video doesn't give you an idea of how big that explosion really was.

I believe that's the event you think it is, Filatus, seeing as it says "beelden RTL" in the beginning, and this video doesn't really show how big the thing really was, there was another video which was shown a lot at the time, it was pretty much raining fire over something like 300 meters around the storage. all houses within 2 streets from there got totally destroyed, not funny to say the least.
