why crop the name out?

More top secret stuff eh?

Due to his occupation I am being respectful. And I bet a few people on here may know him as I know a few on here are from the same group.

The orange in the cloud afterward could be a sign of nitrogen dioxide, often the byproduct of a fertilizer explosion.

The first time I watched it, I admit I thought it was fake.

Nasty whatever it was. Does anyone recall what it was in China 2-3 years ago that made for such a wild nighttime video?

I remember that. My firm had some reinsurance exposure to auto importers and a stupid amount of cars got incinerated at that port. Insurers got smoked.

Thousands of cars destroyed in Tianjin port explosions

That’s all a side of an event like that I would never consider. I bet insurance companies took it in the shorts over something like that.

Those videos are the only other things that come to mind when I envision a massive explosion. I’m sure there are more that we never heard about in the past, but with the presence of cameras everywhere now....
