    • Craftybadger, on 07/09/2008, -0/+28The best bit about that video, is hearing all the debri 'ping' past the camera.
    • jsaya, on 07/09/2008, -0/+10I don't know if that sounded more awesome than it looked.

  • abrasion, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2As an absoloute and utter lover of mass destruction (sorry but I love things that explode and just huge stuff in general like this http://www.vincelewis.net/bigengine.html ) here is some awesome explosions for you fellas.

    This is a classic, old but the fireworks factory explosion and yes people died :(
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MMYcSGgEq4
    Explosion is epic though, sadly that's a cam job of the TV footage but it's still good enough quality.
    There's also a second angle of that available from a guy in town.


    and one of my alltime favourite explosions from trinity and beyond, the underwater tests.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qcn9hrxM9ac
    Just look at the size of those little battleships - bask in the glory of the awesome music AND it's narrated by Zap Br.. I mean William Shatner.
    If you love explosions and stuff going bang in general this is the one to grab - Trinity and Beyond - it's fascinating and beautiful as well as informative.

    My third favourite explosion I can not recall the name of and can no longer track it down, it's a missle or rocket hitting a patch of dirt then it rains dirt for about 60 seconds - makes a mammoth crater - brilliant stuff.

    Get trinity and beyond in HD, it's worth it.
