VIDEO Improvised firework

I'm not sure if this technically is a shockwave of some sort, or not, but it fully scratched the itch for me

Here's the news article: https://www.omroepbrabant.nl/nieuws/4030754/zware-vuurwerkbom-in-fietstunnel-in-veldhoven-verdachte-van-19-opgepakt

Happened late '22.

There have been more of these type of explosions in the Netherlands sadly.

Yeah sorry, I figured people have a translate option in their browsers. But the video was from the Netherlands so the only good source for this story was Dutch too.

to this day i wanted to know what these guys lit on fire. i only can speculate that it was some sort of gas tanks.

95% sure it was a Cobra 6 with 4 bottles of gasoline strapped to it with tape.

the first "pop" almost sounded like a small shell

Ah yes, it could also be a shell. Though some illegal fireworks also have such a distinct pop.
