That video has been going around for a while, first time I saw it was back in January of this year. The place I saw it at said the cameraman was killed in that.

Yeh, I can beleive that. That explosion at the very end is too intense to be that close. If he is not dead i bet he wishes he was.

I believe this was posted on the old forum last winter, which was when the explosion actually happened in China. This was one of the reasons some fireworks were harder to get this last season.

Well i can tell you a lot about that film i was there because this disaster took place in my hometown and the cameraman didn't die altough he was badly injured.There was a fireworks factory in the middle of a neighbourhood an almost none of the people knew that there was a fireworks factory in their living area.It was a beautifull sunny day and what started out to be a little fire turned out too be one of the biggest disasters in Holland,where 23 people died including 4 firefighters who tried to put the fire out.It is the blackest day in the history of my hometown and i lived in that area i moved from there 1/2 year prior to the disaster.fot more info i would suggest these links sadly they are all in dutch.

IF no one got hurt, I would say that was pretty cool. Unfortunately, people did get hurt:( But why the hell would a fireworks factory be allowed in a residential neighbourhood?
