That was my first moment when I paused the video. I had to watch it twenty times or so before I even got to the shockwave hitting. It's like a fucking BRICK WALL backhanded the air and was like, "BITCH!"

I think the cameraman was too stunned by the sight of the explosion to remember to duck. The shockwave knocked him for a loop.

AFAIK the cause is suspected to be a stockpile of unstable WW2 era grenades that was being removed for demolition, they set off the whole ammo dump.

Two nights ago I got drunk with a polish guy who grew up in a small industrial town around the forests of Galicia. He said that as a kid they'd go into the woods after a hard rain and there would be undetonated WWII land mines and live ammunitions visible to the naked eye. Apparently it's still a pretty big concern as people develop rural areas where there were once battlegrounds.

Nevermind. This camera angle doesn't show them disappearing.

I couldn't find a better camera angle on Youtube, the site I saw it on wasn't PoeTV comaptible. If you can find the angle (where you see the buildings evaporate in the shock wave) on a decent site, submit it.
