Sparky Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Holy Schmidt! That last explosion was freaking incredible! Man that would be one heck of an experience to feel that kind of blast. I’m very curious about what that must have felt like (only curious as long as I don’t loose any limbs, or bodily function) But wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyte Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 I think the cameraman didn't make it. Phyte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 hmmm, guys. stop talking german. This was in the netherlands. I often see this. Americans can't tell the difference between german/dutch/danish/swedish etc... well I guess I can live with that. I can't tell the difference between vietnamese and thais either. This happened on 13 of may 2000 in the city off Enschede in the east off holland. I believe the guy that you see filming didn't survive that last blast. A whole neighbourhood was destroyed. 22 died, 950 injured . http://enschede.freeyellow.com/page4.html pictures http://enschede.freeyellow.com/page3.html movies The smoke was even picked up by the weather stations: http://www.vwkweb.nl/index.html?http://www.vwkweb.nl/weereldnieuws/dossierEnschede.html this is a link site about the disaster. It is in dutch but if you search for BBC you will find some english info there. http://enschede-ramp.pagina.nl/ I was working for a asbestos research laboratory in amsterdam at the time and we were asked to go to the site and join the army of personel that did the asbestos handpicking on day two. I declined because I didn't feel like going through the area and possibly comming across body parts or stuff like that. And of cours it would have been emotionally very taxing. Now three years later people can handle the jokes like the news about a new movie called "Indepenschede"" (it sounds allmost like independance day if you pronounce it in dutch). what is the highest structure in Enschede? the curb. Why did the queen cry when she visited the site? she missed the fireworks. xander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BigWhyteDude Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 wow, i cant help but wonder what the camera man was thinking after that first blast. From the looks of it that shock wave it could HAVE killed him. man i thought i was bad with fireworks. And why would you build a fire works factory near a neighborhood? wow.

zguy95135 Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 i would have been going in the other direction. its sad tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moridin Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 I really wonder if the guy survived that last blast. That was insane. It is sad though. Too many people hurt and 22 too many dead. If you want to experience something like that without having to worry about the fire, make some dry ice bombs. Two or three of those going off at the same time will really make you feel it in the gut and chest. I may have disliked my physics teacher, but we did have some fun.

zguy95135 Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 i think that first camera man got killed when it exploded too. look at how close he was to the first fireworks.

zguy95135 Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 i found a site on how to make them. it seems pretty easy, and cool http://www.simisucks.com/dryice.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moridin Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 Really easy. Just watch how much dry ice and water you put into a container, because that affects how quickly they go off (or rather exceeds the holding pressure of the container). They make an awesome boom that you can really feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 I used to do something similar. It's called a Works bomb. You use toilet bowl cleaner with hydrochloric acid, comonly found in The Works toilet bowl cleaner. You put a bunch of aluminum foil strips inside a 2 liter bottle and then add The Works. Cap it up, shake it, set it down and listen for the boom. Cops did a few tests on the news and said they have the power of a stick of dynamite. It got pretty crazy around here when I was little. People started making Works bombs and putting them inside mail boxes (Man those things took off in the sky!), and then there were the idiots that put nails and BB's inside them to see what happened when they exploded. I think you can figure out what happened to these morons. !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After knowing that I wanted to tape a model rocket electric ignition to the side of the 2 liter bottle and ignite it just before explosion :D Ahh the stupid things you do when your young.
