WOah, the colors too!

rough calc of explosion til sound wave puts this fellow about 3/4 a mile from the explosion....YIKES!

FUCK ME! That was bigger than I thought.

What were they really hauling?

Communism

That's a biggun...

That's the most impressive explosion I've seen a video of.

I think the sound of it and the breaking glass did it!

Crikey. I hope that building had been evacuated prior to the blast.

..sounds like they could have used some of that oil on the squeaky door behind them.

"wuh"
that'll f*^k up your white balance.

Hey, it could have been worse. Right? It could have been the Vodka distillery!

I already wanted to shout dupe!

With russia's past history of huge disasters i would be running very fast in the opposite direction.

So the camera couldn't handle the flash?

This is a better view, better camera, 2k away. It is an arms depot in Ulyanovsk. I figured it wasn't just petroleum exploding after seeing that shock wave.
