Texas explosion

[wrighty94]

You seen that video on YouTube of the factory blowing up! I couldn't believe how big the explosion was

saw the mushroom cloud in the paper this morning as well


can see why people use fertiliser in homemade bombs

To be fair a fertiliser factory is pretty much a huge homemade bomb ready to go I'm surprised it hasn't happened before!

There was an explosion at a similar scale around 66 years ago and although I'm sure they put plenty of precautions into place, the massive concentration of ammonium nitrate in these buildings makes me wonder how it's not more of a regular occurance!

I remember buncefield going up one morning in December 2005/06. I was thrown from my bed and all the doors in the house blew open. And I've gotta be a good 8-10 miles away. This looks massive by comparison.

Buncefield was the Hemel Hempstead oil depot explosion in December 2005, wasn't it? I remember that, only for the massive plume of smoke that enveloped the sky afterwards.

Yep. I was home alone, 16 at the time. And like 6am it went off. I thought london had simply disappeared :lol: scary!

There were several other explosions afterwards and I had convinced myself it was the end.

This looks off the scale, the videos are frightening.
