This video is one of the most fascinating pieces of disaster footage I've ever seen. Nothing has come close in the last 7 years. Beirut explosion footage comes close... but something about this being at night, the horrendous amounts of fire involved, and the perspective. The way the explosions dwarf everything else in the area just boggles my mind. Seeing it instantly become like 3x the height of those buildings in the foreground is insane. And the falling debris, jesus. It's a scene straight from hell.
when i was living in china i lived about 30 minutes away from the explosion. and i can tell you, it was fucking scary. One of my friend's dad was one of the fire fighters that died in that explosion. Rest In peace.🕊
What's crazy is the same chemicals salts in this video is the same in the beirut video but this video seems much hotter beirut was more a dry explosion like a giant charge flash almost
This is like the effect of a nuclear explosion.. If that chemical is enough to do that kind of destruction how about the nuclear that is powerful that that
There is a nervous and excited energy that exists solely in the "Yeah we're dangerous." that I both do and do not want to experience at some point in life
Nobody died a cleaning crew came in before the explosion the onwer was far from the explosion it was a chemical plant at a valeo they knocked over a barrel of the chemical and the chemical touched the wires on the wall and it exploded but nobody was there so nobody died
You damn right!!! It was fun and games AT FIRST, but by the time that explosion got REAL, I would have freaked out and ran. That is THE MOST terrifying thing to record, that was like a miniature nuke.
this the guy who should be recording school fights. He's literally more stable than any of them and he's filming one of the biggest explosions caught on a phone camera.
I'm trying to visualize what this guy looks like. I've gone from Californian surfer to 90s grunge lover, all the way to 80s metal-head. I love his commentary though.
There was once a full video it shows them running out their hotel or condo complex into the hall and down some stairs, while the explosion was still shaking up the building..
People are circulating this video by saying this is Ukraine after a Russian attack. If you are a responsible human with a conscience, then let everyone where this video is from and the story behind. Do not let them spread fake news!
Is nobody gonna talk about how good the person records the explosion? We don't just see a blur of what's going on. This guy kept still, even when getting BLASTED by these MASSIVE shockwaves?
Somebody said it was the biggest explosion ever and I remember this one and I was like have you seen the one in china? So, I came to check it out again, and no I'm not giving you a like puto!
Do not get me wrong, this was an horrendous event and I hope this will never happen again. Nevertheless, you cannot argue this was not one of the most amazing and humbling explosions you have ever seen. It would have been both amazing as well as terrifying to have witnessed this up close and personal. The people in this video have never felt so alive.
The size of the explosion does look nuclear, but the multiple explosions indicate other things happened; did you know that in China, OSHA doesnt exist; anything goes, and being very productive and storing explosive items thousands of tons of it...you get boom!
This video is one of the best (or worst) videos ever in general. (depends on your point of view). I can watch this thing over and over again and marvel the force the explosion produced. I can't even imagine the horror these people in video went through emotionally. RIP for all those who died. Such a rare event to witness and capture live on camera. Now keep in mind that nuclear explosion is far more worse than this with more severe radiation consequences. Do we really need any more of this shit in our lives?
The problem is, leaders CANT be trusted. If the world leaders were to have a gentlemen's agreement to get rid of all nukes, you better believe there will be AT LEAST one leader pulling one of THESE 🤞
What's there to love about stupid people who laugh at a catastrophe and make a joke out of it because their IQ is too low to understand what's actually going on and that people are dying as they're laughing?
Wow, I'm just seeing this for the first time and it's unbelievable. Talk about negligence. Apparently 170 people lost their lives from this, and it's no wonder. RIP. Never thought I'd see something contend with the Beirut explosion.
@@billythekid5196 That would definitely add up coming out of China. Knowing now, for instance, they admitted to overstating their population by some 100 million. I've been listening to a lot of Peter Zeihan which is where I got that info, and I'd definitely recommend him if you aren't familiar. Ofc he doesn't get everything right but it's pretty much the nature of his job. And his latest video on Russia (as of two days ago)...oh boy. Thanks for the info
If you are here after the Beirut explosion, this explosion was apparently due to the same material (ammonium nitrate). the one in this video was the result of 800 tonnes of it, recent reports are saying the one in Beirut was around 2,700 tonnes
