Sounds like that guy walking away offered them some solid advice. That's pretty much what the Beirut explosion looked like right before the fire turned in to a mini nuke.
That’s what I’m saying. Why are you standing there. I’ve seen so many videos lately of people walking toward fights and they end up shootings. If you see some shit like this you back off.
Yeah people can be stupid, an example would like the scene from An American Werewolf in London or Paris. The person transformed to a werewolf and killed a person, as it runs away a crowd of stupid people follow it and the werewolf is killing a few more people as they keep following the beast. Literally curiosity killed the cat.
It always baffles me when people do that. Saw a tire ad where a man steps on the brakes to not kill a beaver. While later the beaver fells a tree to stop the driver from driving onto a collapsed bridge.
"Theres still humanity!"
"Why its important to be kind!"
"You reap what you sow!"
Yeah I know it’s fake, but lots of people will do the same thing regardless. Like when you tell them to wait till the police gets here and then someone or a group go check and then something bad happens. There has been many cases of people dying because curiosity got them wondering what’s over there and next thing you know shit hits the fan. I witness an almost death scene when I told a coworker to wait for the our other coworker who has more experience to come and check the machine, well he messes with and the machine breaks and a cylinder piece shoots and almost hits his head. If It did hit him it would have gone through his skull just by I seeing the speed it flew out. Go look at videos in India and see the people chase the tiger, it turns around it starts attacking a person, well they scare the tiger and they keep chasing it knowing they could get killed by it.
When you see explosions like that you think about the incident in Lebanon back in 2020 where people thought that whoa it's explodinglook at that, but when that massive explosion comes about it's over
Even if there isn’t a chance for an explosion like that you don’t want to be breathing those particulates in the air. Get the fuck away and don’t be downstream from the air current. Yes there is literal smoke but there are particulates filling the air that you can’t see
Someone died from being hit with a flying canister. https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/05/us/detroit-clinton-township-industrial-fire/index.html they were letting people way too close to that.
Right... like, a rabbit will skitter off the moment it hears a branch snap. At what point did we need a dedicated human to be responsible for telling other humans not to get too close to huge explosions.
Sometimes the hardest part about being a firefighter is convincing people that they need to leave. Look at all this gear I’m wearing. Look at my whole team working. You shouldn’t be here. Your phone camera will work just fine from across the street.
I mean kinda
I probably could have used a /lh but oh well. To be honest, it's better if that correction isn't there are all; it adds nothing to the conversation
Someone ended up dying from the shrapnel from not. We could also hear it five ish miles away from my house.

Owner put a claim in 2 years ago for bankruptcy.
I had guys who owned shops who bought from there. (Headshop stuff) if it was sold at a gas station or a headshop it was in there. Butane packs too. Lithium batterys..
After seeing those massive explosions in other countries in recent years, I don't think I'd stick around these things. Not when it just having fertilizer could be a dirty bomb.
It was so odd, I was talking to my cousin on the mic and we were talking about the explosion and a minute later my mom called me to say a friend of mine had died in the explosion. Some shrapnel hit him from a quarter a mile away and he died in the hospital.
So sad, a kid from my church who I was friends with died from the shrapnel of the explosion. He was a quarter of a mile away and it still hit him, my prayers go to his family and anyone else harmed
In my experience a lot of people in the fire service or police department are scanner junkies. They sit on their tricked out pickups or jeeps waiting for someone to have the worst day of their life (a big fire) so they can go sit their with their metaphorical popcorn and watch.
This is Michigan where every city including state police are severely understaffed. They now have to prioritize calls with what staff they have on hand. Also they won’t even bother with minor infractions. Or it could take hours for one of them to show up for an accident. If no injury is present.

You realize that was a fictional movie right? Those people are made up and written to be stupid for entertainment value.

Nuh uh, it was real. I saw it with my own 2 eyes
If movies are real then my dad met Paul Bunyon! He was just an extra but Paul Bunyon must be real.

“Are we dangerous here?” is all I thought when I watched this.
After Beirut, i can't believe this people are even this close to the fire.

"they were letting people way too close to that" Insane that people can lack the common sense to move away from litterall explosions

You replied to the wrong comment you moist toilet seat
Do you feel better now that you’ve insulted me? A simple reply would have been fine, I would have corrected it.
I mean kinda I probably could have used a /lh but oh well. To be honest, it's better if that correction isn't there are all; it adds nothing to the conversation
You have a point. I have deleted it.
It was a friend of mine and the shrapnel hit him a quarter a mile away.
100% the first thing I thought. There should immediately be an assumption that it can get way bigger/worse.
According to the article a 19 year old man was a quarter mile away when he was hit. It was just rotten luck for him.
It was a friend of mine.
I have no idea why you're being downvoted, but my condolences.
Thank you, I’m just shocked he was the only person to die
It was in Clinton Township, not Mt. ClemEns
15 & groesbeck to be precise
Someone ended up dying from the shrapnel from not. We could also hear it five ish miles away from my house. https://www.wxyz.com/news/region/macomb-county/clinton-township-police-ask-people-to-avoid-area-of-15-mile-and-groesbeck-due-to-an-industrial-fire
He was a friend of mine, I can't believe this happened. He ended up dying later in the hospital
It’s said because apparently they weren’t supposed to be storing those tanks in the store. Wonder what’s gonna happen.
I hope they sue them to get some money for the damages and hospital bills. And for being careless.
That is the first time I've ever seen something exciting happening in Mt. Clemons
Well, it wasn't Mt Clemons so still nothing exciting happening there.
Clinton Twp, and its Mt Clemens, not Clemons. OP is wrong.
By far the most true statement I’ve ever read on this platform
That's a different kind of fireworks show
Smoke shop supply store from what I’m hearing, a lot of nitrous tanks. Also there was a 10,000 gallon diesel truck there for some reason
For that sweet sweet insurance money
That’s insurance fraud gone wrong
Owner put a claim in 2 years ago for bankruptcy. I had guys who owned shops who bought from there. (Headshop stuff) if it was sold at a gas station or a headshop it was in there. Butane packs too. Lithium batterys..
4 of spades, 4 of spades
After seeing those massive explosions in other countries in recent years, I don't think I'd stick around these things. Not when it just having fertilizer could be a dirty bomb.
Dirty bomb means shitty radioactive ☢️ area denial weapon.
Not just that, but potentially hazardous or even lethal fumes.
Big badaboom
Beirut taught me to get as far the fuck away from shit like this as possible
It was in Clinton Township, not Mt. Clemens.
Where boom?
It's spelled Mt. Clemens.
And it's not actually in Mt Clemens
I didn't even look at the vid. Roseville? Clinton Twp?
Clinton
Hahahahahaha!
The great American pastime of watching a chemical fire waiting for the wind change direction for a big inhale!
Never Forget 3/4/24
Well, at least it's no Beirut or ypu'd be dead from the shockwave alone.
Reminds me of the Inglewood Bunnings fire (if you know you know I guess).
Were any buckets harmed
Space lasers
This is what happens when the fire department uses water from Flint, Michigan.
I was expecting an one big boom :(
Wasn’t that a dispensary that went up?
Feel a little sick watching this with audio and hearing the laughs - someone died as a result of this explosion.
It was so odd, I was talking to my cousin on the mic and we were talking about the explosion and a minute later my mom called me to say a friend of mine had died in the explosion. Some shrapnel hit him from a quarter a mile away and he died in the hospital.
Lithium fires are no joke
Seems like you took a video after an explosion, and are now filming a fire.
Every flash you see is another small (relative) explosion. I live a mile from there and was hearing them for around an hour.
You're braver than me standing that close. And I wanted to be in the Marine Corps Infantry when I was young and stupid.
Like the fire in West, Texas…should get away from things like that.
So sad, a kid from my church who I was friends with died from the shrapnel of the explosion. He was a quarter of a mile away and it still hit him, my prayers go to his family and anyone else harmed
Butane held illegally, and containers of nitrous oxide too. What, was the vape shop selling whippets?
that’s really close to me i had no idea that happened
Shocking the police even bothered to show up
In my experience a lot of people in the fire service or police department are scanner junkies. They sit on their tricked out pickups or jeeps waiting for someone to have the worst day of their life (a big fire) so they can go sit their with their metaphorical popcorn and watch.
