Strange way too say Nova Scotia.

Yeah I noticed that as well.

Came here to say just this!

[@PantheraOnca60]

You guys could do a whole video just on how tragic the writing is in the original video.

[@spinalobifida]

And also a lot of the explosions were animated too.

[@BillGraper]

I've been watching videos of the Beirut explosion lately. It's amazing how far the shock wave & sound traveled. They show it from many distances & viewpoints. They even heard it 150 miles away. It took the sound more than half an hour to reach them.

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

It looked a lot like Chernobyl.

[@Malvorik]

I was in beqaa when it happened travel was blocked for about 2 months schools were cancelled to October and I felt it

[@jakeeves5935]

whoa 150 miles away that the blast was heard that shows just how powerful that explosion was

[@SandyD2022]

My Aunt and Uncles lived on Mercer Island, WA. It's a 158 miles away from Mt. St. Helens. They had so much ash on their house, and yard they bottle it. They gave everyone in the family a jar filled with ash from it. I still have mine.

[@iJGrimmX]

There are lots of good videos about the Halifax Explosion if you want to know more about it. They even pronounce the name of our province correctly, instead of butchering it like they did in this one.

[@ptournas]

Haha, I was about to say the same, and I'm not even from Nova Scotia, though my grandmother was.

They should also watch the 2 part miniseries based on it called Shattered City: The Halifax Explosion.

While interesting, the Halifax explosion of 1917 was not caught on camera.

[@Alskasaur]

Same as Chernobyl. The mini series made an explosion with CGI and my guy used that as “explosion caught on camera”

[@Epics00]

This list sucks, what is the criteria for where each blast fits in the list? How much damage the explosion caused, the actual power of the explosion itself. It doesn’t make any sense.

[@cpMetis]

This might just be the dumbest video I've seen that still manages a normal structure. At least the dude's pronunciation was worth a laugh xD

[@jwb52z9]

I was 7 when Chernobyl happened. I remember how freaked out people were. It's one of the reasons we don't have nuclear power running in most of the world. Everyone in Texas, where I live, freaked about the fertilizer plant explosion. It really was awful.

Thank you for sharing your review on these explosions. One explosion that wasn't mentioned was one that occurred in Henderson Nevada on May 4, 1988. The Pacific Engineering company (PEPCON) produced Ammonium Perchlorate which is a component of rocket fuel used by NASA. The chemical is highly volatile and is an oxidizer. On May 4, a fire was inadvertently started by welder's torches. Within minutes, the fire spread and was no longer able to be contained. The resulting explosion was felt in Las Vegas, some 15 miles away. I was living there when it happened. I felt the shock wave as it hit my flat. My bedroom window shattered. There are plenty of videos on line. I think you'll be amazed at the explosion and resulting damages. The company was compelled to pay for damages and relocated to the neighboring state of Utah under a new name and management.

[@cocofox2167]

I was going to comment the same thing. I'm not a fan of this compilation since some of these were clips from movies or just telling the story of an explosion and not really "caught on camera" But the Pepcon explosion was actually filmed and should definitely have made the list as it was very very large.

[@texgirl1122]

I was thinking of this too. I lived in Henderson when this happened and it caused some damage to our home. I was at work in Vegas and got a hold of my neighbor to check on my dogs…she called me back and said they were huddled in their doghouse and shaking. If I remember correctly, they said the air quality was safe just a few hours after the explosion, but I always wondered if it really was.

[@jayb8369]

@@cocofox2167 Agreed!! I worked second shift and on that particular day, I think I just called in sick, went out and had a few drinks to take the edge off. 🙂

[@jayb8369]

@@texgirl1122 I was surprised at the extent of the damage to the first responder vehicles. Massive damage and most unfortunate was the fact that only two people (sadly) were killed. The cost in human lives could have been much worse.

[@texgirl1122]

@@jayb8369 I know, the damage was pretty extensive. Every garage door in our neighborhood had to be replaced….it looked like a giant fist punched them in and these were metal doors. I was very surprised there weren’t more casualties as well.

I would think Krakatoa would be up there as one of the top. They said the blast of the volcano could be heard Halfway Around the World and caused massive tsunamis that wiped out thousands of people. And I mean anytime you can wipe out an island of three volcanoes at one time, that's awfully big

Look up the PEPCON disaster videos. A plant near Los Vegas made ammonium perchlorate (AP), the oxidizer used in a number of solid fuel rockets, PEPCON was making AP for the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Boosters, but production wasn't paused after the Challenger accident so the plant had a very large quantity on hand when a fire broke out...

[@den12333]

As someone from nova scotia i had a great laugh at that pronunciation.

[@tomhelmsjr]

It wasn’t caught on camera, but the Texas City explosion in 1947 was the deadliest in US history. A ship loaded with ammonium nitrate exploded and killed almost 600 people. The anchor from the ship weighed 1.8 metric tons and was found 1.6 miles inland from where the ship was moored. The explosion was so big it took down an aircraft flying in the vicinity, and sent cargo flying over 3000 feet in the air.

[@SilvanaDil]

Narrowly avoided huge explosion: the collision of a British nuclear sub and a French nuclear sub in the Mediterranean was at low speed

It really shook Seattle and was felt in Bremerton,Washington.

I bet you got a dusting of ash.

[@rexnarloonbrok8858]

I was stationed in Germany during the Chernobyl incident. The news gave the location of the main radiation cloud, as it moved toward Europe. On the weekend the cloud was the strongest over Germany, a bunch of us were enjoying hiking and white-water rafting in the Alps. We knew of the cloud, but were young and didn't care. I haven't heard if that cloud was the cause of a rise in cancer, etc.

[@cyberdragon238]

“On a scale, this explosion is scaled down from a nuclear bomb rather than up from a conventional bomb,” on the beriut explosion

[@ChromeOfTheFuture]

You guys should stop reacting to this channel because they clickbait too much! This video was allegedly about explosions caught on camera but he barely shows the explosion and some weren’t even shown 😂

[@gilbarajas7615]

Im from Texas just an hour and a few minutes away from West. West is a great community that is highly populated by people of Czechoslovakia heritage. They are a great small town with a lot of heritage and pride. I was so sad when that happened. I love that small town.

[@ryanjustice2670]

Straight off, with the first explosion, wasn't even captured on film.🤦‍♂️🤮 I'll try to watch the rest of their reaction to this video, but I'll definitely not watch another reaction from the same source channel.

[@jeffreyphipps1507]

Bhopal was an example of passing the buck. The company had inadequate safety equipment, there was little to no safety procedures in place, and the tanks of the pesticides were woefully underrated. 2000 people died because the company didn't care. If that had been in the US, the lawsuits would have been legendary. In India, not so much.

[@user-tb2jy9lu3d]

The HBO series Chernobyl is quite graphic, but does depict a lot of accuracy where you can compare some scenes side by side with original video footage from the 80's. Also, you should set up an Amazon baby registry. It keeps everything private. I think you can set one up for the US (which redirects to the UK as far as shipping) and the UK directly, as many people have done this very thing who are reactors in places like Europe.

[@timhuffmaster3588]

The explosion at The Trinity site was in an area also known as “White Sands” for obvious reasons. The site is open twice each year. I’ve been to the site and it is a very solemn place. There were approximately 400 people there and no one spoke the entire time we were there. The small city of Chernobyl was a farce. It was set up as an idyllic city and was promoted as such.

[@stevenjaramillo9359]

i was in college in san antonio when the West Texas explosion happened. i remember on campus there were rumors of terrorism becuase of its close proximity to the boston marathon explosion. and the university i was at did a big blood drive for it.

[@bigbopperkeepdatchungusonm2755]

that guy criminally undersold the actual power of the Tsar bomba. the initial fireball was 5 miles across (the part that vaporizes everything inside of it), and the mushroom cloud at its peak was literally 30 miles wide (at the base, 60 at the cap), and 37 miles tall. I read somewhere people would've gotten 3rd degree burns 62 miles away and it broke windows up to i think 560? miles away. it's explosive yield was over 12.5 times greater than all munitions ever used by humans combined. So yeah i think it deserves the first place spot idk.

[@GP80888]

They left off the PEPCOM rocket fuel explosion in Henderson Nevada. That’s a good one.

[@spinalobifida]

I was sure that was going to be on here.

[@jeffreyphipps1507]

It's worth mentioning that when storing explosives or fertilizer - Ammonium Nitrate (components of either) MUST be handled with care. Three of the ten on this list were from Ammonium Nitrate explosions - China, Texas, and Beirut

[@jeffreyphipps1507]

The one you were likely thinking of was in (I think) Iceland. From your perspective you would remember it. Mount St. Helen's was (probably) before you were born.

[@scover3]

Under what rock were you living if you didn't hear of Beirut explosion? It was on news and youtube for months back then.

[@license2kilttheplaidlad640]

I remember Chernobyl and everyone said ignore it about the fallout

[@TheOGgUeRiLlaMoDe]

I seen the compilation of the Beirut explosion for some reason the people didn't get how shockwaves works from a mini nuke cause they stayed near the windows

[@zzzkoszzz]

Strange they left out the Mines of Messines but put in Halifax. Shrug. Anyhow. The largest intentional man made explosion in history, prior to the nuclear bomb, was likely on June 7 , 1917 during the Battle of Messines. The craters are still there.

[@controlZchannel]

Not your guys fault but it always annoys me when the video your reacting to says "caught on camera" and they precede to use movie clips because they don't have it on camera. Again, not blaming This channel, just the channel that made the original video.

[@natemalnaa1]

7:24 those 5 pictures are the only thing we have that captured the actual moment of eruption They also had 10,000+ little earthquakes a day for 3 months before it erupted

8:12 - my grandma told me once that, when this happened, we had ash as far north as Calgary, Alberta, Canada; or even further. She told me she thought it was snow at first until she caught a bit on her tongue.

[@davidbrown8230]

Why does the factory in Henderson, Nevada(who produced solid rocket fuel for the shuttles and other rockets) explosion never make these lists. The shock wave can be seen rolling across the desert throwing train cars like toys and damaging buildings as far away as Las Vegas.

[@McLintox]

Not your problem with the description but, nearly all of these were never caught on camera. Keep em coming guys

[@jefferoni1984]

The way that narrator mispronounced Nova Scotia was jarring. Also, that Halifax explosion wasn’t caught on camera.

[@perfectnothingg]

Chernobyl wasn’t caught on camera, idk why they specifically included this. I’m sure there’s security footage somewhere but there’s no way it’s gonna be declassified. The bhopal gas tragedy also doesn’t have footage of any explosion. I’m surprised they didn’t mention any deaths either, which vary from 2500ish to 8000 in the two weeks after the accident.

[@ThePreparedSailor]

Thats the worst way I have ever heard anyone pronounce Nova Scotia

[@amandab.recondwith8006]

Trinity didn't happen until almost 10 years after World War II. That bomb was called "Little Boy," and was nowhere near the power of the Trinity bomb. 20 megatons would completely destroy London and most of southeastern England from Cambridge to Brightin. Little Boy would have taken out a square mile. The scientist who commented about the bomb was Oppenheimer, who headed the research team that built the bomb which blew up Hiroshima and Nagasaki. When he saw the real first experimental explosion in the New Mexico desert in 1945, he quoted a phrase from the Hindu Bagha Vida: 5 years later, Trinity went out of control and exploded many times its planned power. It nearly killed the scientist in the bunker watching it, and vaporized much of the atoll it was on, which now has a huge concrete dome over the site, never to be opened. Hopefully!

The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (where it is banned from extended entry) has produced some surprises. Animals in the CEZ have shown signs of rapid evolution due to radiation mutation.

Chernobyl was not "caught on camera", nor was the Halifax Explosion. Chernobyl happened under the reign of the USSR and would NEVER have been filmed. And the Halifax explosion took place in 1917 before every person on the street had a cell phone, or video camera glued to their hand. Bhopal was also not caught on camera because it happened by accident, and anyone within the area where they could have caught it on camera would have been poisoned by the atmosphere.

I was in Kindergarten (age 6) when Mt. St Helens blew. I live in Eastern Washington (on the border of Washington and Idaho) I remember that day vividly, mom picked me up from school and it was "Snowing". She left me and my brother in the car while she went to the store to get painters masks to protect us from the ash before it got really bad. I remember looking out the window at 4pm (in May it wasn't getting dark until 9 pm) and the sky was black, it was black as night. It was so confusing, actually tried to put myself to bed. LOL The next day our car was covered in feet of ash, just as if it were snow. We were told to stay indoors, and my dad was up on the roof washing it off with the hose and shoveling the driveway and everything else he could.
