When A Fireworks Warehouse Explodes...

[sputnik]

I saw this a couple years ago (before i was on Beyond). So it might be a repost. Incredible piece of amateur video (especially the last 30 seconds of it)

A small fire at a fireworks company resulted in a gigantic explosion, flattening several blocks of houses. Everywhere fires started, destroying a large area of the city.
Miraculously 'only' 22 people were killed, amongst whom 5 firemen. Almost a thousand people were injured.

Near the start of the video you can see a guy walking towards the fireworks and then there is just a huge explosion. Poor guy.
