Looks like the freakin’ a-bomb on Hiroshima (Exactly 70 years later too)! Probably had the shockwave of it as well.
I can't even imagine the shock of the camera men far away, much less those who were in the buildings.

I think it was a large petroleum storage facility.

Ho. Lee. Shit. You and me both my friend. I don’t know what that was barreling through those buildings, but there is no way they came out unscathed..

Good, good! That’s some scary shit right there. Just saw it on CNN breaking news too.

If that guy bothered to share the video he’s probably quite intact.

Lol and the safety and transport guys are probably sacked.
In all seriousness hope people are okay, Guardian newspaper saying hundreds injured and the force of two aftershocks registered at earthquake centres. Bloody hell.

Sacked? More likely liquefied.

This is reminiscent, at least in scale, to the Texas City disaster of 1947. In that one, a cargo ship with 2,300 tons (TONS) of ammonium nitrate, (the same stuff Timothy McVeigh used only a Ryder truck full of to blow up the OKC federal building), caught fire and exploded. At least 581 people were killed. It’s quite a story.
