It is still explode in the area, where a lot of people have there houses.
Over 350 houses are burn or collapsed by the pressurewave from the blasts. 2000 people has been evacuated.
There is a safety zone on 3 km from the factory.
The biggest blast was so big that it reach 2.0 on richter.
1 fireman is dead and 80 people have been taken to the hospital.

A couple of years ago we had something similar in the Netherlands. A big firework factory blew up in the middle of a normal neighbourhood.

Firework factories really should have a no smoking policy...

17 people was killed as i remember.

The first blast happen at 2 pm, then people was on work, that is the reason noone was killed then.
The blast could be heard 200 km from the blast.

haah from the same website http://www.dr.dk/junior/forside/bill...inder8ball.jpg

that reminds me of some kids near me who got caught eating fireworks and drinking car battery acid.......

the police could'nt charge them with anything so they were let off.:1orglaugh

thats awesome, would have been fun to watch

It's really really really bad. I just saw the pictures from the explosions on the news.
Leif from Scandinavian TGP is from that city and so is a few other webmasters.

It looks like World War II there. It's terrible and I feel so sorry for all those families :(

:1orglaugh

Sorry, but that's funny. Sad for the families and the ones injured or killed, though. :(

that was scary.

I remember that. Happened in 1999 or 2000 I believe.

I think it was 2000 (not sure though) but at least 20 people were killed back then in Holland.
Here in Denmark "only" one firefighter lost his life but the area looks like Bagdad :(
