    This one even explains it to you (and looks impressive).

    Don't try this at home.

    Very impressed by the nonchallant way the drivers were going along on the road nearby.

    With the odd cylinder or two rocketing around.

    Thats not an explosion, THIS is an explosion. (be patient)

    I saw a BDH chemical works blow up in Dorset, it's amazing how high barrels of chemicals can hurl themselves

    It gave me the best excuse for not coming into work, sorry I got evacuated

    As my boss said it was so bizarre and stupid it had to be true

    Considering there's a sunken munitions ship rotting away in the Thames estuary, nope. You're not safe at all...

    indeed

    It reminds me of the chemical factory I once worked in.

    Fire assembly point: Car park.

    The public park half a mile away seemed a better choice.

    It was upwind too.
