They did, they just werent informed properly, altough if they had been, they probably wouldnt have gone. But I dont know the level if bravery these firemen had. But if they went informed, they could have definitely prevented the explosions
Im sick thinking off all the brave firefighters who died. It doesn't matter what country they come from, what race they are, what language they speak or what color they are, they are all brothers in red. RIP.
The fact that firefighters were sent to their deaths without any inkling of what they were walking into is a tragedy. BTW, what do we all fear the most as stated in the video?
still nowhere near Tsar Bomba! was initially designed as 100 Megatons but scaled back to 50 so the pilots had the smallest chance of not being knocked out of the sky by the 2 shockwaves (1st shockwave being from the initial detonation and 2nd from the rebound of the 1st's off the ground and back out)
So the guy made a video of "the flames and stuff" and posted it while dying, so he was either committed enough to be committed or a number of questionable details in this story suggest it to be untrue.
Holy shit I had no idea about this explosion, For all I know my country haven't even covered this in the media. Must say Gloomy, you made a great job about the ending phrase, It made chills run down my spine!
21 tons worth of tnt, Noway thats gotta be atleast 100 ton explosion judging by how big that fireball is. Add it all up i think it might be well over 100 tons of tnt in that second explosion jeewiz.
Huge fire ball? Yes, but the destruction of 100 tonnes of TNT would be worse. The explosions were powerful but the huge fireball seemed like burning gasses igniting upwards rather than an explosion.
And go outside? Safer indoors. And the first one wasn’t that big, they thought it was a gas station explosion, which it did look like, which wouldn’t have been a threat to them.
For anyone that wants a bit of background as to what started the chain reaction. When the first responders arrived at the scene and were trying to get the fire under control, they unwittingly sprayed water on a chemical called calcium carbide (CaC2). Water combined with the calcium carbide creates acetylene gas, which was the catalyst for the first and second explosions.
It's a bit hard to think that only 105 died in that magnitude of explosion. It's been several years already but it's still sad to think that something like this had to happen. Prayers for everyone affected 🙏
Thanks for posting this footage....amazing! Thumbs up for those who got the clips of the disaster out of China! May the dead RIP, may the living find peace!
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THIS WAS CAUSED BY ISIS AND OBAMA THEY ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO BRING DOWN CHINA AND HELP ISIS CONVERT EVERYBODY TO ISLAM AND AID IN THE CHRISTIAN HOLOCAUST! (Read this in a southern accent)
Just for the record, the 21 ton equivalent of TNT that went off was Chinese misinformation. You don't make a 400 foot wide crater with 42,000 pounds of TNT on your best day. More like 3 or 4 kilotons, that's 3,000 to 4,000 tons. Per 100 feet of crater takes about 1kt equivalent of TNT depending on if it was a surface or subsurface explosion, and soil conditions.
Heard there was carbide in the mix. Adding water makes it break down into acetylene gas. Acetylene is very explosive. Figures cooking barrels of it skips needing water to make the gas. The gas is what welders torches use so if you've ever seen a little welding torch create the loud bang multiply that by millions for this fire.
I'm subscribing to you, I've been watching your videos for a while and I think you got a great potentional. I don't subscribe to people very often, but your channel is totally worth it. Keep it up
I remember coming across a video that was footage of this explosion. But it was much closer to the explosion so the video cut out after it reached over to the camera.
I remember seeing a 4chan post about someguy wanting to go out in a bang so he lighted somethings on fire in a warehouse and shot a video from inside. dunno if it's linked in this
This is the reason why I never want to work with flammable chemicals, especially with that much of it. So, if your dream job is doing that, just be as safe as possible.
idk why people are mad at them for yelling holy shit, A lot of people are amazed by explosions, especially by how beautiful they are from their perspective. European or North American, a beautiful explosion is worth an applause no matter how many people die. We simply don't care.
Amen, Billy. Firemen are the bravest people I know of. Either racing to a disaster or delivering a new life, GOD bless everyone of them. R I P you brave souls.
Sent in on a mission they didn’t even know what. Sounds like Chernobyl all over again. That was bad. In this case the only option really is to get the hell of there.
You know what I'd i do if i seen that. certainly not laugh. An explosion that big I'd know life was lost and I'd be tearing up knowing at that moment, people and animals just lost their life
As always there's a problem with the official explanation. The first large explosion spread fire enough to light off another larger pile of flammable liquids. Anything even remotely close to the first big explosion would have been vaporized and anything left after that would have been blown into orbit!
I did some math based on allt he footage I've seen, cross referenced with what Google maps can tell me about the area. Going by the height of the 25 story apartment building seen in many ground floor pictures, and the average height of the buildings in the area, we can assume that the building seen in frame silhouetting the fireball at the 2:44 mark is at least 25 stories tall itself. Each story is app. 3m in height, so with the roof additions, we'll be conservative at 80 meters tall. the most famous video of the event only captures the fireball climbing to a height of 5 times taller than the previously mentioned building before going off camera, but using at little complex math, we can count out how many lengths of the building the fireball climbs, based on the amount of fuel burning into it, before it burns out and begins to dissipate. Adding a conservative estimate of the fuel provided by the second explosion, and assuming there were no more after it, the mushroom cloud generated would have climbed to at least 3 kilometers into the air. It likely led to the worst chemical fallout dispersal in human history, and who knows how far the toxic chemicals got carried.Considering wind currents, I wouldn't be surprised if Alaskans started finding traces in their soil eventually.
Can you notice the fire fighters vehicles lights near initial huge fire? Then after the first huge explosion they all were blown up and wiped off. Perhaps melted within flames. Those ppl died when this filming couple was amazed by "hell on Earth".
When your fireworks display was the talk of your town last year, but your jealous pyrotechnic crazed next door neighbor feels they have to one up you at any cost.
“Are we dangerous here” “haha, ya we’re dangerous” when I hear him say that I think of the stereotypical hippie say “yeah man, we’re like totally in danger here”. We know now that it wasn’t an attack from a rival country. If it was, the first fire before the explosions would have to be from an extremely small bomb.

I was on 4chan when a Chinese man posted his last post ever he was uploading the flames and stuff and showing us before he died
Rest in peace to him.
So the guy made a video of "the flames and stuff" and posted it while dying, so he was either committed enough to be committed or a number of questionable details in this story suggest it to be untrue.

100 TONS? Thats the equivalent of a explosion the size of like 50 football fields or im wrong and im going to get called out for it
The reactions of the witnesses gave me the chills.I can't imagine the fear they felt.My heart goes to the victims of this horrifying event.:(
I would make a joke about how them filming vertically did this, but it's hard to laugh when 105 people died due to that. ;(
DANtheMANofSIPA only 114 have died not 505
Only 114? lol
Im surprised at how you can compare lives lost.
Sekmad I could of sworn he said 505. I fixed it.
Night Raver why it better 505 people
As soon as I saw the first explosion I would've made sure to get as far as possible

Well knowing china, 105 is more like 10.500
20 tonnes of TNT is bs, 300 tonnes would cause such an explosion rather than 20.
Anton Richter Probably just the government trying to make locals from other cities in China think it was smaller then it actually was.
Anton Richter Yeah China bullshitted that.
Yeah i was thinking the same!
@@igorlthn1109 Also; Calcium Carbide reacted with water(showered by firefighters) generated the highly flammable Acetylene ... This is the theory.
