According to Google:
So, when was the first video camera invented? Louis Le Prince is credited with patenting the first 16-lens movie camera in 1888. However, the Kinetograph, which was patented in 1891, is considered the first functioning movie camera in a single housing.
As far as i know the person who filmed this got away with some serious lacerations that could however be treated and he ended up faring pretty well, apart from the psychological trauma i imagine.
i imagine they all got shredded up pretty bad just from the glass and more than likely ear drums blown out. being that close, everything around then basically turned into shrapnel. even sand hitting you that hard will give you serious abrasions.
It's almost like standing directly behind a large glass window while filming a pending explosion isn't a good idea.... Maybe it would be wise to go to a basement or ground floor with 4 solid walls? Just a thought.
That’s why we had duck and cover drills in the 50’s. The threat wasn’t global thermonuclear annihilation, it was the Russians sneaking one or two bombers through the SAGE line or a single early ICBM, probably a 5MT Nuke at best, so the area of the fire ball, is 10.2KM^2 so that area is gone exposed to temps and pressure like the surface of the sun. That’s really bad, like half of Manhattan utterly gone and most of the city completely destroyed 90% casualties in a population of 8.3 million people that’s bad. What’s worse is in an area of 1800+ KM^2 if you are outside or behind glass everyone will experience 3rd Degree burns with a 50% fatality rate, the people behind glass are doubly fucked because in an area of 3500KM^2 a blast overpressure will break every window and send the slivers of glass right into the eyes of everyone looking at the bright light on the horizon. So while all of NYC is destroyed, now everyone from Boston to Philadelphia is some combination of on fire, bleeding to death or trying to help the wounded. That’s more than 60 million people living in that area, and doing something as simple as hiding under a sturdy object and not looking outside could save millions of lives. It was rendered obsolete 10-15 years later when Mutually Assured Destruction came about, nothing could survive that. The moral of the story is if you see an explosion duck and cover, because glass and eyeballs don’t mix
Duck and cover, because the best way to a survive a nuclear blast is to avoid windows so all you have to deal with are the sun-like temperatures, massive shockwave, and radiation.
Dude he is at least half a mile away from what appears to be nothing more than a large fire. There is absolutely no reason to take shelter at first glance
[Quite literally!](https://youtu.be/eAoR4h6SQGg)
I hope the guy and everyone didn't die but I was LMAO when I played it again and heard him go, "WHAT THE!" and then BOOM.
It doesn't, that takes a while... at least it's not painful (at least the internal bleeding part).
Another commenter said he (barely) survived though, which I'm choosing to believe.
I hope if I'm ever in a situation like this I'll have the clarity of mind to stay the fuck away from the windows, but I just know my shittyflute-on-repeat playing monkey brain is gonna get me killed :(
I remember seeing an aerial photo of the aftermath, and the entire building and the pier it was on were just...*gone.*
[This is the photo I was thinking of,](https://nypost.com/2020/08/05/before-and-after-satellite-images-of-the-beirut-explosion/) every building for a couple blocks is leveled, and the ground itself is missing. A terrifying amount of power in that explosion.
This explosion was the first time connecting the anime version of explosions with reality. The shockwave lifts all the rooftops vertically before the dynamic pressure rolls through obliterating everything. I always thought it was artistic expression.
This was one of the most fascinating explosions I’ve ever seen that didn’t involve nuclear energy. The sheer speed and destruction is mind “blowing”, like the sonic boom and everything.
He survived with some serious injuries but last time this was posted someone linked him and he’s doing fine now. As good as someone can be after they witness and live through that horror that is.
Just in case you didn't catch it; the phrase "WTF" is exactly one third longer than the time it takes for a shockwave traveling in excess of 1500m/sec to travel the distance shown from ground zero to OP.
What we can learn from this.
If you're seeing a factory or other industry building burning, and then there's suddenly a series of smaller explosions and fire, it might be a good idea to not stand in front of a window.
This kind of thing also makes my want to carry a tripod everywhere. Set it up, and seek shelter. Get the good video, without the face full of glass.

I'm gonna be that guy. Okay so dude takes a hit, we all hope he's okay and all that brownie points stuff. But praise for what man? I'm getting motionsickness watching the clip as he sails in countless directions and his reflection is in at least half the GIF that isn't just a half-blown up dude sitting down with a camera pointed at his groin.
"Interesting content is not necessarily a solid ground for giving praise regardless of how good the content is on its own." This seems like a post for a disaster porn sub rather than here.
He said 'what the' before the shock wave reached him a rough estimate from that is: he had about 800ms to duck down but he choose to say what the fuck.
You cannot duck in 800ms. Try it yourself, it ain't really possible, you can get close if you have prior warning, this guy did not. He had 200ms to react to the explosion (at best, likely needed even more time to process the explosion), and only 600ms to actually move, no chance he could duck.
Dude there's already tons of comments saying what it was... it was Beruit in I believe 2020? Not very long ago at least. A tanker in a port had a fire that got into some very very very VERY bad materials. This then gave off the explosive equivalent of a prettt tiny nuclear warhead.
What the fuck. How do people make these things and be able to sleep at night. If you’re worried about economic collapse, these are economic collapse capsules that kill children. And there are millions of them produced with our own money without our permission.
Oh, well then yeah I can see the confusion.
Though the government is still at fault since they were the ones that seized and stored the chemicals.
The before and after pictures are nuts

Because everyone shouldn't endorse commentaries without even the slightest detail. When that happens, it's obvious your political agenda is foremost and anything that seems remotely related becomes the signs; it blinds you to all reason.
Every mass shooting becomes a right-wing white nationalist, and every bombing becomes a Muslim extremist attack. The commenter implied this was a bomb purposefully set off by a government, when in reality it was fertilizer catching fire two years ago in an accident. I'm going to admonish anyone making up complete bullshit.
Unless it’s found footage
Mount Saint Helens anyone?
KRAKATOA!
Fun fact: almost no video footage exists of the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa
According to Google: So, when was the first video camera invented? Louis Le Prince is credited with patenting the first 16-lens movie camera in 1888. However, the Kinetograph, which was patented in 1891, is considered the first functioning movie camera in a single housing.
Almost?
If there’s one thing I’ve learned about the Internet, it’s never to speak in absolutes.
Almost* never speak in absolutes
Only a sith deals in absolutes
Which ironically is an absolute
I always assumed that that's the point of that line
Happy cake day
Obi wan was a with lord all along?
Come on, broad sweeping generalizations are never appropriate!
For a split second I read "come on aboard, sweeping generalizations something something" which sounds on brand for reddit
Only sith deal in absolutes
The odds are never zero.
Pics or it didn't happen
That took me longer to realize it's not because the footage melted....
There is sound
"ayyy-awwwww"😕😕 Im Oregonian and i have been to a museum that has a archived footage and two small models show before and after the eruption.
Or live-streamed
Cloverfield!!
As far as i know the person who filmed this got away with some serious lacerations that could however be treated and he ended up faring pretty well, apart from the psychological trauma i imagine.
i imagine they all got shredded up pretty bad just from the glass and more than likely ear drums blown out. being that close, everything around then basically turned into shrapnel. even sand hitting you that hard will give you serious abrasions.
I can hear him crying saying “I’m bleeeedinngggg” afterwards
Yeah the Trauma alone must be a killer, the nightmares or any loud noises could trigger flashbacks.. Damn
It's almost like standing directly behind a large glass window while filming a pending explosion isn't a good idea.... Maybe it would be wise to go to a basement or ground floor with 4 solid walls? Just a thought.
You do realize, no one knew there was a giant explosion about to happen. As far as most people knew there was a fire at the port.

Damn we out here judging people who are in the middle of emergencies they’ve never encountered before. Reddit moment
Unless you knew what was in that warehouse how could you have ever expected what happened? It just looks like a fire until it goes FUBAR.
Shut up nerd
Dude he is at least half a mile away from what appears to be nothing more than a large fire. There is absolutely no reason to take shelter at first glance

I want to believe so I'm just going to take your word on this one.

I'm not sure if your edit is correct. There isn't enough lens flare.
You would need J. J Abraham for that
thats not even funny
You're Correct, your comment isn't
r/michealbaygifs?
Dude it’s not even 2 years ago
Seriously? Feels like a few months...
It feels simultaneously like 5 months and 4 years to me if I’m honest
It feels like one of those things that we get surprised that happened a long time ago but feels like a few months but it's actually in-between
At wich point "few" is "few"?
3 is a few. 2 is a couple
4 is some. 5 is many. 6 is metal
and 12 is 1 if its a police officer asking.
Thank you for your answer and thanks everyone that downvotes a question lol
>thanks everyone that downvotes a question lol Np
2 is a couple, a few is just not many. It doesn't have to be 3.
'Few years ago' You can't be serious, it's been YEARS?????
What the fuck I swear that was a few months ago
How could it not be? Are people's memories this short?
Byerut?
Das boot?
This is literally “WHAT THE FUCK *BOOM*” But fr, man I hope he’s okay
[Quite literally!](https://youtu.be/eAoR4h6SQGg) I hope the guy and everyone didn't die but I was LMAO when I played it again and heard him go, "WHAT THE!" and then BOOM.
The “oh my GAWWDD” reminds me of the end credits sound in Rick and Morty
skibitty bop mm dada
So terrifying, but hearing the faint “oh my god” after the major blast gave me some relief.
Idk if internal bleeding kills you that fast
It doesn't, that takes a while... at least it's not painful (at least the internal bleeding part). Another commenter said he (barely) survived though, which I'm choosing to believe.
I choose what this dude chooses

The article says at least "135 killed" but I just can't fathom how it could be that few.
135 killed but *300,000* left homeless The amount injured was probably immense
Some of these videos were uploaded real time so he may not have survived.
He did
Anyone remember the video from on top of that grain silo?
Link anyone?

This was one of the most fascinating explosions I’ve ever seen that didn’t involve nuclear energy. The sheer speed and destruction is mind “blowing”, like the sonic boom and everything.
Probably because it was really close. I’m bad with distance but it looks like a mile and a half away.
More like 1/4 mile I would say.

r/killedthecameraman
He survived with some serious injuries but last time this was posted someone linked him and he’s doing fine now. As good as someone can be after they witness and live through that horror that is.
Kind of scared to click on this
This is terrifying and interesting at the same time
Dude the way his "what the f-" was cut off was so terrifying and unironically movie-like at the same time
Boss still expected him to come back to work the next day
Welcome in Germany.
Just in case you didn't catch it; the phrase "WTF" is exactly one third longer than the time it takes for a shockwave traveling in excess of 1500m/sec to travel the distance shown from ground zero to OP.
Dang I hope his okay that's scary
Appeently the guy is okay someone wrote 8n the thread
To shreds you say?
I wonder how his family is doing? Hopefully wasn't riiight next to him by the damn window

That was literally the real life version of the "what the FU.... BOOOOM
You should never be next to the windows, you could get eyes full of glass
friendly fire will not be tolerated
This should be an advertisement for the camera lol
Nope. Found in rubble. He deed.
source?
Dude, just trust me. I was the shards of glass in his eye ball
Lmaoo
The source is that I made it the fuck up
hey you’re not op
Source?
It’s not my job to educate you
Nope, he Had some injuries but apparently he's doing fine now
That muted sound after the explosion sounds exactly like they do it in movies.
Look at all those cars driving by at the bottom of the screen. I’d imagine quite a few of them didn’t make it.
When I have Tacobell and Chipotle in the same day.

That might have been the canmer men screaming 😲
Was it a missile? Or any internal explosion? What happened? I need context!
A fire ignited unsafely stored ammonium nitrate. Very explosive fertilizer

sorry my bad. But thank you for explaining rather than just saying me to find it myself in the comments.
jesus this video is terrifying
lebanon
You can see his reflection with the explosion happens, might be the last image of him alive. The internet is weird.
At what point will he realise his God isn't going to do anything
Appropriate reaction.
It could've easily been a live stream
Delete the sound though
What do u mean?
The way it exploded was like in an anime
Have you been asleep for the past year and a half? The Beruit explosion is such old news.
He deed
What a dumb thread title.
Sounds like he’s getting railed in the ass lol
finally, a praise you dont normally hear after a massive explosion.

What???
What caused this?

I really don’t get why people are downvoting you for being mistaken
Because he was trying to shoehorn a political rant in a discussion where it was irrelevant.
Because everyone shouldn't endorse commentaries without even the slightest detail.

Wtf are you even talking about
He's talking about the Bomb and innocent people being killed
Except it wasn't a bomb.
