Dude I wish they had technology back then that they do now. This is like the only video of this explosion. If this happened today there would like 300 videos of it.

I had driven over the Victory Bridge, and nothing was out of the ordinary. I pulled into my driveway in Keasbey, and I noticed the orange-pink glow being emitted in the sky, and over the roof of the house. I stepped out of the car onto the driveway, and the ground was rumbling. Durham Woods was eight miles away from where I was standing. I remember the scanner, and of all the apparatus getting hit out, responding to that "Hell On Earth" It is a miracle more people did not perish.

I was actually there when it happened. I live in Fords New Jersey witch is about 2 miles away from Durham Woods. It was early in the morning and I felt a shaking from the floor, like an Earth Quake. I woke-up and I looked outside my window the sky light up as day. You could hear a roaring sound outside. Fire blazing. When it was over the sky filled with ash and every-thing in Durham Woods was destroyed. It was all over the news. It was like having a missile drop from the sky.
