/\
Dutch:
"U ziet de beelden nu vertraagt. En heel duidelijk is te zien wat de werkelijke kracht van de laatste explosie was... De daken worden letterlijk van de huizen geblazen"
English:
"You now see the images in slow motion. And it's very clear how powerfull the last explosion really was... The roofs are litteraly blown off the houses."

BTW: That factory was placed in the middle of an residential area, while most inhabitants of the town never even knew it was there.
I don't know if the cameraman survived, but I do know many firefighters and some locals lost their life when the factory went up...

The same thing happened last year and the year before. I saw in on the internet so it must be true.

You would think they had learned by now!

lol it was a "loose loose" situation, cause the factory got charged for carrying more explosives than they where licenced to, and the man who lit the fire was
scentenced for life or sumthing cause i remember seing this on Discovery channel (the whole documentry) . Fragments of building parts and unused firecrackers can still be found around the area to this day.
Moral of the story/...... dont fuck with fire, cause you never know when its your turn to burn.

@ Mental-- the camerman did survive, but i belive they found him very badley hurt. Him and other residents where awarded for their courage and bravery with golden badges.

Yeah, the owners fled the country. Don't know how all that went down. There's a lot of controversy about who did it. People aren't sure today.

Hey fagbag, the expression you wanted is "lose lose", as in having lost something, not loosening something.

Well yeah just 15 months feels 'short', but when you face the facts the only 'major'-mistake they made was (illegally) placing two containers of fireworks outside of the fireworks-bunker...
Considering that under normal circumstances there is no reason or it is even hardly possible to lid one of these containers, that on itself is not a crime but a 'neglect' of responsibillity on side of the owners.
I guess 15 months for neglecting something is pretty much the highest punishment you can give someone because it's not a 'crime' they commited.

It sucks that there wasn't really a 'responsible person punished' - but it's just wrong to forcefully find a suspect and dump everything on them just cause it feels right and the public wants you to. In my opinion anyway.
The explosion pretty much could match any conventional bomb - the explosion smashed the concrete floor underneath it 2 meters into the ground and there is now a tiny little lake in the crater that it formed.
