Fireworks accident in Denmark?

Hi all, Did anyone see film of the fireworks plant/storage going up in Denmark (at least I think it was there). Quite the pyrotechnical show -- hope no one was hurt.


Fly straight and true!

If you have 2.2 kilotons of fireworks go off you scarcely need a nuke... that's bigger than the fireball of the Challenger accident (0.8 kilotons of hydrogen and oxygen)!

Any truth to the rumor that the excess tonnage was found to have been labeled "Model Aircraft Parts"?

Yes.

One person was either killed or seriously injured.

Not bad for such a widespread incident.

It was one of those rare disasters that looked beautiful too.

I bet that country actually HELPS the company get right back into business too.

I didn't see that. Can you provide more on this?

Looked like public display fireworks to me.

Got a link? I haven't found it yet...

I read in the news that the biggest explosion during that fire registered as

2.0 earthquake on the Richter scale.

My son was watching MaxX last night, the rocket plant in Nevada that blew up registered a 3 on the Richter.

Yow... That's pretty scary. I can't say that I'd want to be a fireman fighting something like that, either.
