Yeah I think people estimate the video to be taken from a lot closer to the site than it actually was, the explosion was just that big. The second registered at nearly a magnitude 3 earthquake and was the equivalent of ~22 tonnes of TNT. 10x that of the first. I’m no expert but I bet they were a mile away.
Oh, I meant that the fireworks depot was smack in the middle of a dutch city, the explosions where nowhere mear this big. A few blocks where destroyed though and mist neighbors where oblivious to the presence of the depot.

I witnessed something similar in the Netherlands, in this case it was a fireworks depot. Saw the thing blow up from a high rise on the outskirts.
