I'm not such an internet and computer expert as most of you, but (so, that's why) lately (a bit late) I stumbled on this youtube movie of the big disaster that occurred in spring 2000 in a dutch city I know very well.
So excuse me if it is a bit late, and I also have no idea if this footage has also been shown in the places where you lurkers live,but still.
A fireworks factory that, without most normal people knowing it was based in the middle of a residential area of Enschede, a city in the east of the Netherlands, exploded. When you click the link you will see the extend of the damage. 23 people were killed and a whole residential area was destroyed. Still today it remains unclear what caused it and what kind of fireworks were stored there (many people believe the army stored old explosives there).

This (and other) videos still send shivers down my spine.
