The gentleman mentioned in the PEPCON video, Roy Westerfield, is a genuine, old school hero. He stayed behind to call 911 and warn others. Because of Roy there were only two deaths in that horrorshow: the plant manager who was by his car outside and Roy himself. R.I.P. Roy. Amazingly there were no deaths at the factory that was destroyed as they heard the first explosion and evacuated.

[@Ryarios]

Guy Fawkes IIRC, Roy didn’t think he could get out so he didn’t try. IIRC, he was wheelchair bound or at least somewhat physically disabled. He chose to remain and make sure everyone else got out.

I was in Las Vegas which is about 15 miles from the Ammonium Perchlorate plant in Henderson. I was putting gas in my truck when I saw the black smoke column rocketing into the sky from behind some buildings. I could tell it was far away yet the smoke was racing skyward-evidence that something very powerful was happening. Thinking about this and Next thing I knew I was sitting on my butt! The delay followed by WHUMP made quite an impression on me. Yes it knocked me down and yes-I hate fake documentaries that insist on editing out the delay. It’s the delay that is most dramatic because it gives the viewer a sense of depth and magnitude.

[@altairprime7895]

I was in Las Vegas then too. I heard and felt the first explosion as it shook the concrete structure I was in. Went outside in time to actually see the second explosion. Then felt the shockwave and heard the blast which sounded nothing like this portrays. My apartment was 5 miles away on the other side of a hill and it still knocked my glass door off its tracks.

Weird thing is that nobody really understands how exactly the explosion happened because ammonium perchlorate doesn’t explode, it’s an oxidiser for sure, it breaks down and provides excess oxygen to burn fuel in a solid fuel rocket, but what did it oxidise at PEPCON, what was the fuel? It was thought that a leaky underground gas line was the source, but that was disproved. It seems that the aluminium of the bins the perchlorate was stored in actually detonated.

[@theterrible101]

[@slyknezz6862]

That PEPCON explosion was INTENSE!! I was in 6th grade and in class like 20 miles away or so and the explosions shook our class room! The ground shook the whole Las Vegas Valley! Was so crazy!!

[@berndp3426]

Richter scale 3,5 . was registered they said. So that must be a lot of the shockwave going into the ground as well. Imagine: Shockwaves expand spherical. So, the upper half dome of it went through the atmosphere, expanding and giving off a massive shockwave. The other half of that energy could not expand but got "hammered" or "stomped" right into the ground at full force. This has left a crater behind as well. So this must have been forcefully intense as well.

[@freerepublicusa2064]

My oldest brother and sister were senior and juniors at Votech high school and they said the explosion pinned them up against the walls and blew all the windows out of the school. Votech is like 6 miles away. I was just a small child st home when this happened (we lived up on Decatur and oakey). I just barely remember everyone talking about it.

[@Zoomer30]

The PEPCON accident was partially due to the Challenger Accident. Even though flight of the Shuttle had stopped, the plant kept producing the Ammonium Perchlorate and quickly ran out of storage space. Then the rule breaking started. They started storing it in unsafe containers that were in areas that were not isolaged from fire hazards.

Wasn't a bunch of property damage except for the plant and surrounding area window glass and lat injuries from ppl hit with glass ect., But the wrongful deaths are probably the biggest concern and the environmental clean up,, I bet that was a big cost the insurer had to pay. Companies that do that E-clean up work charge super high cost because they may only have work a few times a year and they need to stay liquid .

[@ronliebermann]

@@plhebel1 I have a Hazmat Certificate, and let me tell you that the whole business is a scam. If you send a few regular guys to shovel dirt, that's around thirty dollars an hour, per man. If you send those same guys in an orange Hazmat vest, that's a hundred and fifty dollars an hour, per man. 98% of Hazmat job sites aren't even dangerous. The whole business exists only because of Federal Regulations. Reality has nothing to do with it. If the E.P.A. or some other agency labels a job site as "Hazmat" there is no other choice than to hire those hundred and fifty dollar an hour guys, and then bill the taxpayer. The E.P.A. doesn't care, it doesn't cost them anything. The business they call "Environmental Remediation" is out of control. It's just a tax scam. They will spend billions of tax dollars to remove dirt that has a very tiny amount of asbestos; or some other material. They set ridiculous standards that are almost impossible to meet. So everybody wins, the E.P.A. who is "protecting" the public. The union labor that's getting extremely high wages. And the whole retinue of politicians who have a hand in everything. The only loser is the tax payer. The hell with that guy. The way to solve the problem is to take sole decision-making authority away from the E.P.A. The environmental standards need to be revised, so that a little pollution won't require a billion dollar cleanup. The E.P.A. always dramatizes the situation by claiming there is a one in a million chance that somebody could get cancer! And they use that power to enforce draconian rules. So let's not allow the E.P.A. to set the standards, or make the rules. The standards and rules should come from a Citizen Review Board. And more thing: Let me tell you how full of crap the E.P.A. really is. They are currently setting-up air quality monitors all over the country. If a State such as California doesn't meet the E.P.A.'s arbitrary standards, it will get fined. And the E.P.A. gets to keep the money. Sound like a shakedown? It is. And at the same time, the E.P.A. refuses to implement a water-quality testing system for our lakes and rivers. Why? Because the Department of Agriculture won't let them. You see, farmers all over the country are using way too much pesticide and fertilizer, to maximize crop yields. But most of these chemicals run-off into the rivers, and then travel to the ocean, where they poison all the fish. But the farmers don't care about that, they just want to make as much money as possible. So the E.P.A. isn't allowed to measure or regulate river pollution. To fix that, we'll need to reform the E.P.A. and we'll have to start by getting a river water-quality measurement system in place, that reports chemical levels to the public each day; especially Nitrogen and Roundup. Those farmers are killing the oceans, and that needs to stop. The farms themselves are becoming Hazmat sites. After that, we need to democratize the E.P.A. by wiping the slate clean. All current regulations should be erased, and then new ones written, while factory owners, and farmers, and tax-payers are sitting at the table. Those college kids in Washington don't know what it takes to run a factory. That's why they make so many stupid regulations. We need people in charge of the E.P.A. who have experience running factories, driving trucks, and developing real estate. Adults, with real world experience who understand what it takes to keep America rolling. And as far as Hazmat is concerned, all major tax-payer funded clean-up projects should be submitted to public review on a website; with one person arguing in favor; and one person arguing against. That way, taxpayers can make an informed decision.

Props to everyone who valiantly goes towards the danger to save lives, and may you live long and enjoy good health. I'm a volunteer fire/EMS kid, my dad did a lot of stuff to save lives that could have easily claimed his own and the dreaded distinctive ring of the "fire phone" calls at all hours meant that my dad never got a good night's sleep.

No it didn’t do that. He said, and I quote, “it literally picked me up and threw me at least 40 feet” which means the explosion used its hands to pick him up, and then toss him 40 feet.

"Oooo Thats gonna be LOUD!!" haha awesome!

[@TheRantingCabbie]

Now if we can just find a place where a train full of butane, propane and diesel is parked beside a fireworks factory with a fertilizer storage warehouse upstairs from it next to a Bic lighter factory with a gas pipeline running underneath everything.

[@DerekMoore82]

That ludicrous setup probably exists somewhere in China.

[@ronjohnson9507]

Locate it in California

My first memory as a child was the Pepcon explosion in Henderson, NV just outside Las Vegas. I was born in 1985 and this happened in 1987. I remember sitting on my butt on on the ground and feeling the ground shake once, very pronounced, then once more, even bigger My first boyfriend remembered the blast too; it blew out the windows of his house and popped nails out of the walls. He actually lived in Henderson, while I lived in East Las Vegas.

EXPLOSIONS!

[@nortalus]

Ya got em in this vid! :P

[@Doggeslife]

"The explosive vaporizes a nearby factory." Methinks the narrator doesn't know what "vaporize" means. It would take a thermonuclar blast at ground zero to do that.

[@krunchyninja7206]

It takes a lot more than a nuclear blast to guarantee of vaporization of a building.

[@Doggeslife]

@@krunchyninja7206 That's why I said THERMOnuclear. The center of the blast can be as high as 150 million degrees F. A nuke like used on Hiroshima is a tiny fraction as powerful.

[@cadenflynn1587]

Doggeslife he didn’t mean it literally sheesh. Like we know you’re trying to be smart or wherever but come on!

[@MrMrremmington]

What was the crater like where that guy landed, that was thrown 40 feet, is it a lake now? .

[@alyssa2796]

Ive heard somewhere that the initial heat wave is actually infrared waves from the blast

[@tungruffel]

Yeah, I'm sure you flew 40 feet...

[@sockmon1]

Both of my arms blew off and my moustache too

[@svelte5878]

Yup, so did my hair and my home and my car flew like 535 miles away from me.

No, there are cases where people blown back from the shockwave travel this far and survive. Kids during the 1917 Halifax explosion were blown as far as two blocks and did not suffer any serious injuries, miraculously.

Yeah but still, when people see a video they enjoyed, they tend to hit the subscribe button below without really doing more homework. That's what makes this astounding... 3+mil views and only .00000000001% subbed on impulse? Wtf.

[@30AndHatingIt]

My all-time favorite explosion is still the one from a WW2 allied fighter gun cam, where they hit some kind of munitions depot and the blast is bigger than the entire base that it resided in. Basically everything was gone in a flash. Tough to find that video on here, but it exists and it looks twice to three times bigger than the Pepcon blast in this video.
