    Hello all,

    2 days ago, a fireworks factory here in Denmark caught fire, and later exploded several times. I have managed to find a picture of one of the big explosions, it was filmed 2 kilometers away, so imagine that watching it. You can imagine how big this was. 450 houses were destroyed in the blast.

    If you look close, you can see and hear the shockwave.

    The second clip is a mix of different recordings from explosions around the factory and so on.

    IF you have good sound, turn up the volume. The sound is horrorfying.

    Thanks all. It's a miracle that only one firefighter was killed. Sadly many people was injured :(

    yeah, that's the one from Holland 4 years ago.. 20 people got killed. The explotion was not as big as the one here (Size of an earthquake 2 on richter scale, was measured on Greenland) - But it was in the inner city, so a lot more people got killed in Holland, and over a 1000 people were injured.

    As far as I know, he did. His camera get's completely smashed, and so did his internal organs. But don't know for sure, but he's too close not to get hurt. I think he died, but don't know for sure.

    Say they had 1000 tones of materials on site.

    Thats equivalent to a 1 kiloton nuclear blast.

    It'll have the ever so sexy nuclear blast look due to the insatiable desire for oxygen that a blast that size creates.

    It'd be windy in the vicinity of such a big boom.

    No it's not. The yields of nuclear weapons are measured by weight of TNT. Fireworks don't have anything near the explosive power of TNT.

    Why does Denmark need 2.000 tons of firework explosives? Are you all to blind to see ...!?

    Some 1.500 years ago Danish hordes (called "Vikings") brought death and devastation to the world. What we witness is an early stage of a new Danish attempt for world domination. This is why they gathered all those explosives! Beware of the Danish!! Someone has to act or we are all lost!!!

    I'm sure you are part of the vile Danish plan for world domination. Your role is to undermine foreign boards and to leave the impression that the Danes are a cute little nation of pacifist. Ha! YOU DON'T FOOL ME! I CAN SENSE THE BLOODTHIRST BETWEEN YOUR LINES, VIKING!! :)
