Last night I was watching TV "while I rolled tubes" and I saw huge explosions from a fireworks plant I think was in the UK , Anyways it looked intense to say the lease, they had footage of a older woman tring to run into a police station as multiple shock waves almost knocked her down ,all the time brocades and willows were going off all over in the sky
and backround .
Any one else see this or know anything of it ?
It sure made me think about how important safe storeage of whistle mix/etc. is !java script:emoticon('')

I believe it was in Denmark. I saw it on the news as well. They said the storage facility was only supposed to hold 300 tonnes of fireworks, but may have had up to 2000 tonnes at the time.

Figures , all religions speak of this sort of thing "ignor respect and responsibility"
and God will slap you to the ground!
Or in other words, common sense would tell you 2000 tons of fireworks in one spot stored improperly is only good for the news stations!
It's annoying to say the leaset what kind of impression this leaves burned into the memories of law makers and enforcers when such thing's happen!
It does only takes a few bad apples to ruin it for the responsible folks!
I'm sure this will be brought up in my, hearing for plan of operations , when I'm getting my explosive licence next year.
