No the cameraman was killed, I was shown this video at university and the cameraman was killed by the blastwave.

[TheEgonTowst]

Did the cameraman survive?

[Loekleeuwenberg]

7 mensen met geen respect geen leven en gewoon egoïstisch

[MoniqueaufBackfisch]

[MyMusicman2010]

[ZarathustraXX]

The camerman died, didnt he? My dutch is very bad, but didn't he say something like: "He was lethally blown off the house"

[Jolijnh]

@ZarathustraXX he says that the roofs are literally blown away by the explosion, as you can see more clearly when it's played back in slow motion

[blued4ddy]

@ZarathustraXX noo roofs where lethally blow of the houses there were no houses left its was my 10th birthday :(

[tjockudden]

[mcafee888]

dude, i live there, i am dutch, he survived i saw it on discovery channel, but the camera broke, if u stand 10 meters from a explosian (a regular shot of a RPG), our blown back, i don't hope this happen agian...

[Dwojy18]

It's like he's in the trenches of World War I

[k5lta]

that cameraman is a G,i wish people here in america can start recording like this

[mofia]

word, americans "caught on camera" videos are mostly from streetcameras

[k5lta]

yeah,and their always shaky and its super irratating...

[jelmas123]

I think the person who filmes this is a very brave person, i think that i would't stand a second when i see fireworks in the sky, i would run for my life. I think that we al must be very hapy that this person was so brave to stand there with his camera, to let the rest of world show this movie

* = for the camaraman

[Oxygenefrl]

900kg?? You mean 12000kg!

[Malunat13]

@Oxygenefrl im pretty sure your wrong. it was over eleventeen hunded kgs. look shit up before you post...

[G1n1S]

@Malunat13 Stfu you fucking hamburger eater.

[kwalter1993]

respect for the cameraman, he could have died, fireworks are exploding just a few meters away. very sad that people make fun out of this all, very,verry sad

[upsilone]

the camera did die

[k1lla31337]

@kwalter1993 no respect for him, because his live was 1k-2k € worth for this video tape to the news.

[angelicsnoww]

dang

[crownroyal111]

you can see the shock wave race towards the camera

[spfann1]

how can ppl die if they just get the fuck out of there lol so what u get pegged in the head keep runnin

[illcothecrow]

And do we still believe that this was caused by fireworks??

Or do we know that it was a sectret stay-behind ammunition storage?

[Dusto9]

Ehh no. He's alive and kicking.

[tbtstt]

Did the cameraman survive? F*ck. That was lucky if he did, that explosion at the end was massive.

[TheEarlOfDublin]

he didnt die fagget

[yassin166]

Thats what i call ''There go the neverhood''

[45678c]

omg that was.... dudeee

[666motherfucker13]

Je moet je bek houden. Er zijn 23 doden gevallen en jij maakt zo'n opmerking. Dat is ziek.

[eliteforce112]

Jij bent ziek in je kop.. Geen enkel respect voor de na bestaande..

[ixioxi]

Klootzak!

[336Torana]

soooooooo your point is.....?

?I said it was fireworks.. lol

I'v seen the doco I know wat it was.

[ajb252]

What the hell made that big explosin at the end?

[336Torana]

Im no genius.. but I'll take a stab at it and say... fireworks????

[SomeFamousPolaks]

That didn't look like a firework, that looked like a bomb.

[336Torana]

and what are bombs made of?? fireworks silly. If american TV has taught me anything, its that cars have fuel tanks made of aluminium, with dynamite for wheels, and the army uses sparkly rocket type fireworks to blow up buildings. ;P

[pyrobabes101]

actually if yoou want to know, just look at the documentary! just search on youtube discovery channel: enschede,

and the huge explosion was because the factory was storing fireworks that were too powerfull, in a solid bunker, which they were not licenses to store, and the firest explosion started a fire which lit the illegal fireworks in the bunker which exploded, watch the documentary!!!

[kjijjbm]

22 deaths, Its was 2 blocks away from me ..

And its not epic its terrible!

[TerrorReincarnate]

EPIC FUCKING EPIC!

[purerunner285]

it was an arsonist that started the fire in a residencal neighborhood

[EdanCereal]

i wonder what this woulda looked like at night time

[336Torana]

type "Fireworks disaster in Seest, Kolding - Denmark"

And see

[molomono]

I have friends that wound up in the hospital for lung poisoning. Although this is one magnificent display of firepower, i still wish it never happened.

[DutchCop]

Almost not imaginable that 23 people died and 950 got wounded and/or burned...

[VanSheProductions]

thats so sad that 22 people died *tear*

[lindyy07]

bah..dit vergeet je ook niet meer :(

[DaQueso]

HOLY

[Flatpro01]

at 00:04 there is a guy............doing something ! did he survive ?

[Bray4582]

What a finale!!!

[Yuriferr]

are you stupid i am from holland..

[Tochyio]

NatureFriendly :p

[randalljames1]

Before you believe what you read here, see the six deel videos from Discovery channel..

[jrich360]

I live in Duluth, MN. The annual city fireworks display about 15 years ago was set off from the ground. Well the whole works went up the whole crowd was ingulfed in fireworks I was few blocks away. They been launching them from a area far away from spectators every since. Was cool to see people running from the bombs. Boom Boom ahh ahh

[RainVine]

Poor fellow...R.I.P.

[scytheNX]

waar kan je die fontijntjes kopen dan?

[idiotoncamera]

everything is good in moderation!! check my fireworks fun

[Yuriferr]

The camera man who filmed this dindn't survive at the last explosion

[randalljames1]

and you are an idiot... both cameramen on that roof were fine.. one has son that is a firefighter.. save your crap... see the 6 deels from discovery channel dopey...

[Yuriferr]

your are an idiot there where 3 cameraen one on this roof he was to close the other 2 were 4 streets behind him just look at the discovery or national geo documentary about this

[randalljames1]

There were 2 on the roof.. the newspaper photographer was killed that was in the compound trying to get a picture... fool

[Yuriferr]

and you can here them say it in other movies of this in dutch

[servalnl]

Watch the documentay again. They clearly state there were two men with videocamera's on the roof. This third "cameraman" was a photographer and he was taking risks by being in the compound close to the fire together with the firemen. After the first explosion one fireman saw him in a house and wanted to rescue him. That is where that fireman got caught under debris in the second explosion.

So, the man filming this footage survived. He even shows in the documentary how he filmed it.

[belgicasken]

weet erg voor die mensen toen hier in belgie hebben we nog nooit zoiets meegemaakt zoals da

[hetsuud]

Jullie hadden vorig jaar toch een gasexplosie ofzo:P

[noddyEAST8]

DIKHEADS... RECORDIN SHUD B RUNNING

[haraldrim123]

My familie sold this company to the bosses that it had before the fireworks disaster. They were called rudy I believe and another guy. Oh this is not a lie believe me. I know a girl and her uncle died there when he was extinguishing the fire. A little wall fell upon him pretty sad.

[cadburyboy2000]

What caused the very last blast? did it knock the guy over or did he dive for cover?

[Blepo1990]

The bunker with about 900kg of fireworks exploded (1:31), destroying everything around it.

"did it knock the guy over or did he dive for cover?"

Don't know, all houses in the surroundings were totally destroyed. The cameraman died.

[Chrisjej]

Enschede is mine home town. and the camera guy didn't die!! most people were killed in the own homes or just te wrong time on the wrong place bij things flieng around

[MennyOdds]

thats crazy...

[codfish12346]

so beautiful yet so sad...

[CRF1138]

shock and awe.

[CoolBalla15]

How did that happen?

[knightryan1]

why was it day

[JakeLunn]

Jesus christ, im surprised he stoody their through all that!

[daGuz113]

my dad was the project manager who´s job it was to clean the whole area after the disaster.

[stopchainlett3rs]

wow this video is copied so many times

[Thulak]

God bless America....that was beautiful..*tears*

[AnthonyUK]

Firework warehouses storage areas and factories shouldn't be permitted in residential areas;in the UK most firework company premises are well out of the way of residential areas.

[CODYW23]

wats half a billion euros in american

[oisiaa]

680,528,249.82 USD as of today

[FunkyTwist]

What lee said... the damn chinese plotted it !!! LOL

[leedude313]

the damn chineese plotted this.....

[joesmoe71]

Amazingly enough the camera man survived, I just got done watching a Discovery Channel documentary on this and they interviewed him. Actually two men on that roof and they both lived.

[Phosky]

You mistake numbers. It's an usual mistake in USA. 1 Billion is 1 million of millions (1.000.000.000.000), not 1.000.000.000.

[yodakoi1]

First I thought you were just bad at math, I looked it up, it seems that what europe & americas definitions are diffferent, thanks for the new info

Unabridged (v 1.1) -

bil·lion  /ˈbɪlyən/

1. a cardinal number represented in the U.S. by 1 followed by 9 zeros, and in Great Britain by 1 followed by 12 zeros.

[Phosky]

Interesting... thanks by the information. In the rest of the world a BIllion is 1 followed by 12 zeros. USA is different ;) xD

[anikin]

brave man for filming this

[johnnypoogle]

it seems like enschede has many firework disasters

[emonubsaucroflcopter]

That guy had it coming

[mizwa]

the last explosion had a power same as 5000 kilos off TNT

[anoniem901]

the fireworks begon when someone put on a toller (( ore something like that)) in the store,, then the whole store exploded!! if the fire had let the whole Grolsch factory exploded,, noboby could tell the story after it! it was horable

(( maybe a bit to late to tell but okay... ))

[kaasmeisje88]

that's not what happened, anoniem901. first of all it wasn't a store but a storage building and the factory was the only building still standing.

experts believe that the big explosion was caused by a chemical reaction of water (from the fire hoses) and tons of illegally stored magnesium in combination with the heat

[morgren]

There was one who was prosecuted but then was cleared so it is still not clear who did it. The two chefs of the company were convicted because they used metal bunkers for keeping stuff like mortars instead of concrete bunkers. The 4 fireman on the scene who could have seen something were killed by the explosion so it probably will always be a something of a mystery

[enash666]

looks amazing

[johnnypoogle]

so do the police no who lit the fireworks and who's guilty?

[kaasmeisje88]

no, and they'll never know cause the evidence was vaporized along with the rest of the neighbourhood :(

[98837]

23 dead, almost 1,000 injured, thousands left homesless, suckiness.

[marsiozo]

leave fireworks to china, that country is already polluted, and they have enough people there

[DieLaurenDie]

Way to go government. Nice place to store fireworks. Dickheads.

[kaasmeisje88]

you know, the government did not know that they had stored an illegal amount of magnesium, which was most likely the cause of the big boom

[ALittleAnnoyed]

the last blast is shocking. its sad to see that. what the hell was that kind of fire power doing there? and not contained for prevention.

[kaasmeisje88]

experts believe it was magnesium.

tons of it would have been stored there illegally without the government knowing :(

[ALittleAnnoyed]

the start of the movie is just awesome... sound like to poeple farking each other.... fags probably

[mem0ztr]

ik woon ook in eschede, het was op een zaterdagmiddag ik had een wedstrijd.. gelukkig was ik niet thuis, tligt nu plat :/

kschrok me de tering daar

[bomboocha]

Hahaha anker ziek vriend gelukkig woon ik niet in enschede tering :S:S

[bomboocha]

OMFG?! lol dat kan niet waar zijn kanker hard

[Xipnao]

Nou inderdaad, wat een lol...NOT.

23 dode mensen is absoluut niet om te lachen.

[chrisvo]

echt leuk om de woorden kanker en LOL te gebruiken: NOT!

[noodles70]

And that was only a £100 box

[CoolBalla15]

OMG!

[frk17]

Just saw this movie, though it is quite a few years ago now, I still remember it. I lived about 3/4 of a mile from it. From that day I'm still a bit frightend to fireworks...

[epicenter16]

Dman harde shit! ik voelde die schokgolf in hengelo nog , maarja RIP to all

[klote2314]

they dint even know that the fireworks warehouse wase near there the ware house whas there first before the houses were bould there the comentator says as u can se the houses there roofs were ripped of as c the second explosion and the camaraman survived btw with injuries

[Psychiclady]

The camera man was very brave and very silly bless him ...RIP

[Sephir89]

poor cameraman...

[theravenisunskill]

Cameraman died as a result of the second explosion. RIP mate...

[ganja1979]

947 injured

22 dead - i guess the cameraman was one of them. the last detonation was deadly.

[Utoobhasbestfreeporn]

so why was that warehouse so close to peoples homes? Disaster waiting to happen IMHO. And everybody goes 'gee look at the damage'. Kind of like New Orleans. Let's build a city in a hole right next to water. Oh crap its flooding!

[Gigano1986]

You don't know what you're talking about. The industrial area surround by suburban houses now

was built many decades ago and wasn't inhabited by anyone, nor was it used for storing fireworks. But cities expand so they build houses where ever they can. (to be continued in next post)

[Gigano1986]

The people that lived that area

and the local police departement didn't even know that there were storage containers filled

with fireworks. If they knew, people in that area would have been evacuated long ago when a

fire was reported there, about one hour before the containers exploded.

[SWATbloodmaster]

caus of the illigal fireworks that were stored there (the 2 big explosions

[NPower]

This explosing is sick! It was a huge disaster...

[alexhickman89]
