Lets us pause for a moment and rember buba, who was working the camera that shot this footage, RIP.  

He's dead, that shock wave made jelly out of his organs.

Medicboy, do you know from hearing something?  Or do you assume?  Some people have survived wacky stuff because of chance placement of objects, just wondering if you heard anything about what happened to the cameraman or deduced from the film.

That was in the Netherlands a few years back, the Guy filming lived but was badly hurt, At the end they showed the slow motion and state that you can see the force of the explosion, watch as the roof's on the houses are literally blown off.

The after math of the explosion left app. 3 square block's flattened, I do not remember the number of Dead, but it was a quite a few.

Yeah I read some more about it.  20 people dead, 400 houses trashed.  Apparently the firemen were trying to put it out with water and didn't know there was a stockpile of magnesium in the building...

Do you mean sodium?  Magnesium doesn't mind water.  If it's burning, water won't put it out, but it doesn't do anything wacky.

If you mean sodium, that reacts...  poorly...  to water.

I meant magnesium.   I'm sure one of our resident firefighters can elaborate.  There is a mechanism in magnesium fires where water can get separated into hydrogen and oxygen, resulting in an explosion.

Metal fires are very dangerous when hit with water, the molten metal is cooled on the surface and returns to a solid. This surface cooled solid on top of the molten and still burning metal (Magnesium makes its own O2 when burning) traps the presser and allows it to build up, when the crust ruptures the metal sprays with explosive force and goes every where (burning). You don’t want to be there.

In the USAF we used a chemical called metalX to extinguish metal fires. I don't know what they use now that was in the early 80's
