oh my god

 

[MonorailCat]

one thing all these explosion videos tought me:
if you see a big explosion, step away from windows if you are inside and cover your ears if outside.
wonder how many in the houses nearer to the explosion were injured by bursting windows

 

[Not Spaceghost]

Holy shit that's apocalyptic as fuck

 

[Ledhead]

God damn. This is awful, not only because I'm sure a good number of people were killed from the explosion, but the toxic shit that has probably just been released into that city's air

 

[Extra Sauce]

Am I the only one seeing a face in the smoke toward the end of the video?

 

[CTLance]

Holy crap. My condolences to anybody affected by this. That's a huge explosion.

 

[-COOLIO-]

that's the biggest non nuclear explosion i've ever seen.

 

[The Lamonster]

This has to be fertilizer, right?

 

[methane47]

dayam!

 

[xKilltheMx]

youtube or gif for people at work plz

 

[GulAtiCa]

Wow. that is insane!

 

[Jacksinthe]

This is horrible!

 

[PulseONE]

That is MASSIVE, almost looked like a nuke O_O

 

[aygomyownroad]

Amazing footage but sends a shiver down the spine.

Hope there are not too many casualties and its not harmful to the surrounding area.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Reminds me of that relatively recent Texas plant explosion...the one right by a school :O

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Holy shit

[ElTorro]

Holy shit.

 

[Matticers]

Damn. I'm surprised if that report of 40 deaths is true. I figured there would be at least that many people working in there, even at night. Then whatever is really close by to the place. That's crazy.

 

[Tuck]

Holy shit.

At first i thought the video just showed the aftermath, but then the real explosion happened and I said god damn.

 

[jelly]

Wow, massive.

Note to self, prepare for shockwave.

 

[Schrade]

that's the biggest non nuclear explosion i've ever seen.

It was absolutely enormous :-/

Scary shit. There's a picture of a man in the backseat of a car all bloody and he's holding a bundle of what looks like sheets. If you look at the bottom of the bundle you can see a child's tiny foot hanging down I hope that kid is ok.

 

[SimleuqiR]

It's like the Death Star exploding.

This particular picture looks like some CGI scene in a movie

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

That was insanely huge.

The only way there arent dozens dead is if that happened on some graveyard shift or something.

 

[strafer]

holy fuck...:O

 

[josecitoxnyo]

Another angle.

It seems it was a gas station.

 

[-COOLIO-]

That was insanely huge.

The only way there arent dozens dead is if that happened on some graveyard shift or something.

they might have seen it coming and evacuated people too, hopefully.

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

I was not expecting it to be that big. Oh my goodness... Prayers and thoughts go out to the individuals and families possibly affected by this.

 

[cirrhosis]

Another angle.

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=fe2_1439399974

It seems it was a gas station.

That goes to the same video that's in the OP.

 

[RotBot]

Another angle.

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=fe2_1439399974

It seems it was a gas station.

That's the same video as OP.

 

[Majanew]

Holy... that was huge. I wasn't expecting the second explosion at 19 secs.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

they might have seen it coming and evacuated people too, hopefully.

God i hope thats true

 

[LegalEagleMike]

holy shit I thought it had already happend all the way and they were just recording the after fire, damn.

 

[josecitoxnyo]

My bad, here's the other angle vid.

[hobblygobbly]

Seeing huge explosions like this makes me wonder how crazy a nuke must be.

 

[mnbnguyen]

Holy crap.. my jaw dropped. Looks like one of those over the top explosions from an action movie.

 

[cirrhosis]

Window companies there are going to make a mint this week.

 

[jelly]

My bad, here's the other angle vid.

Wow again. The brightness as it goes is nuts.

[Rabbi_Vole]

I grossly underestimated the severity. I'm sorry.

 

[Ran rp]

every time I think it's over it escalates

 

[The Jackdog]

no word yet on what the hell did the exploding?

 

[ElTorro]

 

[jelly]

Looks like something gets thrown to the left in that Twitter footage.

 

[V-Faction]

This looks like a miniature set. Wow.

 

[Damaniel]

DAMN! What chemicals were they making in that factory?

Hopefully not too many were hurt. With such huge explosions, I can't imagine the outcome will be all that good though.

 

[Mesousa]

Damn thats insane.

Hope nobody died.

 

[phaonaut]

More pictures.

Wow, some of those buildings look like they've been through a natural disaster.
