yeah mate, been a fantastic late afternoon watching the new shopping centre explode
esp as its RIGHT next to where we work, things blowing up less than a minutes walk from you is way better than fireworks night!

explosions going higher than the roofs of 4 storey buildings, people running away screaming, was an hour of fantastic outdoor entertainment, was gutted when things stopped exploding.

even more gutted i didnt think to take any vids, only got one of the helicopter taking back off, but i know others managed vids.

think we all missed recording the first, and best explosion tho

first one was funny tho, was jus loads of smoke and hundreds of builders running away, and i got bored and went "fucks sake, im bored, cant something explode" and then BOOOOOOOOOOOOM the first thing went up

good skills, but i am curious as to how that pile of grass cuttings is still there if he's just landed.

I can just imagine the miserable park keeper just finished tidying his park and then a fookin' helicoptor lands on his grass...

we only 50ft or so away in a straight line, but big building in the way.
explosions going 5 stories high was ace!

glad i had a KFC today, not had one for months but i think its probably burnt down now
