This is the scene of a mayor explosion that happened yesterday in Gibraltar! An oil storage tank exploded in the port of Gibraltar yesterday afternoon, just metres from where a cruise ship was berthed.
The explosion blew the lid off the tank and sent a fireball high into the air. The buckled steel lid lay on the quayside on the Western Arm metres away from the tank, indicating the force of the explosion.The site is an ex-Mod sullage plant (Oil treament plant) but now belongs to a local company.
Chemical plant explosion and fire in Kansas City on 2/7/07 -- this view from SW of Downtown. The smoke streamed southwest from downtown almost exactly along the I-35 corridor for miles.
An early start before dawn in July really is an early start but it was worth it to get this lavender shot. The bush reminded me of a firework and the colour was awesome.

Mock explosions on the edge of the airfield at Manston for the Apache Helicopter display adding to the realism. Like the debris flying upwards in the heat.

So yesterday afternoon, while at the store, we felt/heard a big BOOM. We thought something had fallen on the roof, or the building had been hit by a car.
We go out and find that a whole house (a house we know very well) had exploded almost a block away, on Hickory, taking out the houses next to it. All three houses are now condemned. Luckily no one was killed but the owner has burns all over (looked like no skin on his calves and the children were covered with blood).
Eamon had been walking by the house just a mere 5 minutes before it happened, coming back from the Post Office!
Soon, the fire engines, police and tv stations came. There are still tv stations there now.

Eine gewaltige Explosion erschütterte am 4. August 2020 die libanesische Hauptstadt Beirut. Mobile Teams der Caritas leisten medizinische Hilfe, Mitarbeitende in den Gesundheitszentren versorgen Verwundete. Doch die Lage ist noch immer dramatisch, Hilfe dringend erforderlich.
Die Explosionen und die folgende Druckwelle haben Beiruts Hafen und viele angrenzende Stadtteile in Schutt und Asche gelegt. Caritas hat ihre Nothilfe umgehend gestartet. Mitarbeitende sowie Freiwillige kümmern sich um die vielen Verletzten und leisten Erste Hilfe.
Grund für die Explosion waren wahrscheinlich tausende Tonnen giftigen Ammoniumnitrats, die über Jahre schlecht gelagert wurden und aus noch ungeklärter Ursache explodierten. Mindestens 135 Tote und rund 5.000 Verletzte sind die erste Bilanz der gewaltigen Explosion. Rund 300.000 Menschen haben von einem auf den anderen Moment ihr Zuhause verloren. "Es ist geradezu apokalyptisch", beschreiben unsere Partner die Szenerie.

In an effort to up the dynamics of my photoshoots, and give a little extra something to play with. Yesterday I glued cotton balls to my newly acquired battery-powered tea lights.
Today I added paint with an airbrush. Light coats of black around the whole ball, building up the dark layers on the outside. Then I added red, followed by orange, and finished with yellow. I dusted the colors across most of the explosion, save for the top that I left nearly white.
I made four to start, and see how it went. #1 is a short pile of cotton balls. #2 is the same as #1, just pulled up a bit more. #3 has added cotton balls on top for added height. And #4 has two tea lights inside for a wider explosion.
One of the goals I wanted to have was to be able to move them around, stack them up, or whatever the scene needed. I stacked them up, and the explosion is HUGE! It worked better than I hoped.
And now we get to blow up the Marvel/TMNT crossover team. One of the other goals I had hoped to be able to do was have the buildings explode. I used the tall #3 explosion, and it looks like it is rolling out the door, and then the other three look like the explosion is carrying across the street.
Oh, I am definitely doing more of these. This is great for MiniMates scale. It will be a bit small for Marvel Legends scale without stacking them up. So, I am going to need a few more of these explosions.
I am like a bomb exploding in the air,
Shaking the earth in an after shock.
Nothing can contain me for my soul flames like a burning fire
erupting in the atmosphere!
... A calm facade is on display as a false sense of peace envelops me!
I'm in a trance, translucent and free like a sweet savory;
A high- what bliss!
In a state of madness I'm left alone to face the world:
GO BOLD!

Shortly after 11.15am today, Tuesday 26 June 2012, police were called to Shaw following a report that homes had been seriously damaged in a large explosion.
Police, fire and ambulance services are at the scene and a cordon remains in place.
Police can confirm a young child has died and a man has been taken to hospital suffering from significant burns.
Efforts are ongoing to establish whether any other people are trapped.
Superintendent Neil Evans said: "First and foremost, our thoughts are with the family of the child who has tragically died.
"We understand this tragedy has caused a lot of upset and shock in the close-knit community of Shaw. We are in the very early stages of an investigation but our priority at the moment is to try and reach anyone who may be caught up in the explosion.
"Three properties have been involved in a major explosion, and a large-scale response involving the emergency services and other agencies is in place.
"The child's family has been informed and they are being supported by specially trained police officers.
"Another man has been taken to hospital, where he is being treated for what are understood to be 80% burns.
"We are working with Oldham Council to make arrangements for those who may need to remain evacuated.
"This is an ongoing search and rescue operation, and more information will be released when it is available."
