That looked nuclear.

Looked worse than a fireworks warehouse


Aug 4, 2020, 12:57 PM

but maybe if a warehouse is jam-packed with explosives?? I don't know. That shockwave was insane.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Wow. Appears to really be fireworks.


Aug 4, 2020, 1:09 PM

But #### what kinda place holds that much explosives under one roof?

I've investigated a fireworks warehouse explosion.

Biggest explosion on SC soil ever. Was much less than that. MUCH less.

I saw a fireworks explosion on the Cherry Grove pier one

July 4th, so I consider myself an expert witness - it did not look like this...HTH

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Looks like someone planted a large bomb in a fireworks warehouse.


Aug 4, 2020, 1:19 PM [ in reply to Wow. Appears to really be fireworks. ]

To try and cover it up. Don’t see how fireworks could cause that type of blast.

2024 purple level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


So, if person with camera that close to the explosion


Aug 4, 2020, 1:27 PM [ in reply to Wow. Appears to really be fireworks. ]

not only survived (along with his phone/camera) and was able to upload the video, that might lend some credence to it being a non-military munition. But man, that shockwave was crazy.

Maybe the guy is just ok


Aug 4, 2020, 2:37 PM

Because he got lots of instant social media T’s and P’s. You ever think of that Mr Hurt Locker?

That is a larger yield than the largest non-nuclear bomb


Aug 4, 2020, 1:00 PM [ in reply to Holy ####, is that real? ]

in the US arsenal. That was several times larger than if we dropped the MOAB. Maybe a cargo ship full of them blew up. I'd be checking for radiation.

Yeah, and that's why I don't get laid enough.


Aug 4, 2020, 2:46 PM

But really, it was much bigger than one of those.

This video cuts out but definitely looks to be fireworks. At least initially anyway.
