Love the missile that takes off into the right upper corner of the shot at about the 2:50 mark!

Bruce,
When I was on the fire department back in the early 70's we had a chemical manufacturer that made all kinds of Red Label stuff, we got the alarm about 10AM on a beautifully clear day , as we were responding I was driving the tiller of the ladder truck I had a perfect view of 55 gallon drums going over 100 feet in the air then exploding, it was about a 2 mile run from the station to the scene, one of the best fireworks shows I ever saw it went on for about 45 minutes, the building had explosion vented panels on the roof and the barrels of MEK, Toluine and Naptha shooting thru the holes was spectacular. Kind of makes you wonder what else they were making when the chemists were running down the driveway away from the building as we were pulling up with the fire trucks.
