if thats the fireworks factory in korea (im not aware that theres more than one exploding fireworks factory but from the nature of the things being built there they very well may be more than one) 58 people died.

All i know is... if i was that guy with the camera, i would not have been able to hold onto that camera after the 1st big explosion.

The one i saw was in korea, had different video footage too although i assumed it was the same disaster from a different angle.
 
That is a HUUUGE explosion. The largest thing I ever blew up was 600 or so pounds of high explosives, and it was nothing, NOTHING like that last explosion. Or even the first one. Amazing.

It takes alot of explosives in real life, to emulate the "movie" effect of a bomb going off. You know, huge thunderous bang added, slow motion, etc. That's not how even a couple hundred pounds of explosives look or sound. But this video looks like a movie explosion.
