The video below shows a man doing what any other tech savvy person would be tempted to do. Sitting in his car with a companion, the man thought they were at a safe distance, as he filmed the beginning stages of the Texas Fertilizer plant going up in flames.
Then a few seconds into the video the explosion is seen and the man and his companion soon realized that they were a little too close for comfort.
It was later revealed that the occupants of the car was a man and his daughter. According to the Today Show, they have regained their hearing. According to KWTX, as many as 70 people may have been killed.
Warning: This may be disturbing to some.
