Enschede fireworks disaster

The fire started in the work area of the central warehouse where some 900 kg of fireworks were stored. The fire extended to two full containers that had been placed illegally outside of the building. Since the fire department could not contain the fire initially, it was able to spread to a third container, which exploded shortly afterwards. A chain reaction of explosions eventually led to the ignition of the firework bunker. As a result the surrounding residential area was virtually destroyed.

The fire led to an enormous explosion that left 22 people dead and thousands of families homeless. The extent of the damage was estimated at half a billion euros.

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

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