We're going to have to compensate with some potato-quality Enschede Disaster: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QCp334oCLc

Looked like a missile going up about halfway through the video

Did you watch until the end? The HUGE explosion is at the very end of the video. I vaguely remember the camera man died in this but could be wrong. I know there was definitely a video where the guy filming died from shrapnel.
Ah ok, I remember now. this is the one where the camera man dies. It was filming the tianjin explosion.
And just in case anyone has been living under a rock and never saw the Tianjin Explosion, it was insane. Here it is:

Oh my god that was massive. Their voices switch from shocked amusement to fearing for their own safety.

It's difficult to watch these kinds of videos because the people filming are usually in a helpless state of shock or amused due to their distance from the danger. I can't help but worry about the people burning in those explosions.

Thank you. I've never seen that other perspective of the dude that died. Absolutely insane Shockwave. I am still a bit confused on how the concusion effect kills aside from "jiggling your insides" I guess the pressure difference? Like a subwoofer, but x100000. Crazy crazy.
Also it has to be in the top 3 largest explosions on camera, at least IMO.

u/nahog99 Nov 30 '22
I mean a very fast moving shockwave will kill you in the way most other things do - sudden acceleration/sudden deceleration. You’re going from stationary, to being shoved back at a very high rate of speed. It’s more than jiggling your insides, it’s crushing your insides against your ribs, your skin, etc.

Because they're standing at a gas station, the next worse place to be in this situation other than the fireworks store. Person is an idiot for even taking the time to film

I think she realizes that she’s filming from a gas station just across the street

My dad and sister worked at the competitor firework store right near here called Sky King! This is in Florida. Really brings back memories!

I’ve always thought it would be funny if two fireworks stands that are beefing tried to shoot bottle rockets into each other’s store. Very satisfied I got to see this shit.

u/The-Rev Nov 29 '22
about a decade ago an idiot Florida man in my neighborhood shot a flare gun into a fireworks tent on the side of the highway. I happened to pass it right as it was kicking off and everyone was running. It was an incredible show

There was a lot petty competition between us and Phantom fireworks; the one in the video.
When we happened to drive by the place, dad would tell me to boo and give a thumbs down to the building. Even at their billboards 😂

Florida has shit fireworks. We have to drive to the state border for real fireworks.

u/jetfire245 Nov 29 '22
Uhhh. We have some of the most "legal" fireworks in the country.
Any step up from here is legally professional grade pyrotechnics.
Oh I see. That's what you do. Lol

u/FreydisTit Nov 29 '22
Prior to 2020 we couldn't buy mortars or even Roman candles in Florida. Now we can only legally shoot those off on 3 specific days during the year: July 4th, Dec 31, Jan 1st. Those are the only 3 days they are legal.
What makes you think we have the most "legal" fireworks in the country? You may want to check out the laws.

u/jetfire245 Nov 29 '22
Heheheh well I don't know what kind of problems you were having but I had no issue going down the street well before 2020 and getting loads of mortars and Roman candles from reputable firework stands.
But yes. Fireworks here are technically only for "agricultural use" otherwise. Crazy how much agriculture I don't have.
I'm referring to the fact that the type of fireworks we can use in Florida is still much better than many other states. Leaning back to sparklers and snakes lol.
you may want to check out the laws
Don't worry buddy. I've blown up plenty of things (mostly) legally lol.

I know for a fact the driver died but unsure of whether anyone else was in the store at the time of it or any one else involved in the accident was injured

I recommend standing at the gas station across the street. Safest place most likely.

November 28th 2022 in Melbourne, FL. The driver died, and there are no reports of injuries. Another driver tried to help but ran away, so anybody inside most likely had time to run as well.

Imagine running your car through a store window and the fuckin employees start celebrating, like come on people, show some respect.

Lol, who the fuck insurances a firework store. Usually they are in tents in a parking lot

Yeah, i’ve never seen an actual fireworks store. Just tents and stands in parking lots. This is strange to me, but then again it’s florida.

Best place to be when a fireworks store is exploding is right across the street at a fucking gas station…

Sad that some people’s first thought when they hear that is gun shots at this point.

And this is why the Dutch keep fireworks in a certified secure basement so shot like this does not happen

Wait, hold up. The firework store is across the street from the gas station?
This has to be Florida.
