The Enschede Fireworks Factory Disaster 2000 (Documentary)
The in-depth story of the Enschede Fireworks Factory Explosion Disaster
On a sunny Saturday afternoon in May 2000, the residents of Roombeek are gathered in the streets, wondering where the cloud of black smoke is coming from. They seem surprised to hear thereβs some sort of production facility right around the corner. Little do they know that living standards in the neighborhood had been so low that a fireworks factory was allowed to operate nearby…

January 26, 2023 - 2:58 pmSeems weird to build a town around a bomb shelter. Even worse the towns people blocked any chance of the rescue service to get there.

January 26, 2023 - 2:58 pm13:44 The screen reads $2,450 and you read $2,540. Your reading skills leave a lot of room for improvement. "Enschede" by the way is pronounced like "Enskeday" with the second e nearly silent. There's no "shed". Maybe you could have watched any other video about it and known this. Incompetent.

January 26, 2023 - 2:58 pmAMAZING factory… Fireworks that made themselves?
Didn't ANYBODY from the area work there?
How could a factory be there SEVERAL years, and nobody knows what it is?

January 26, 2023 - 2:58 pmAny burning building containing fireworks is a detonation about to happen. Run for your life.

January 26, 2023 - 2:58 pmGovernment regulations and inspections and enforcement most likely would have prevented the disaster. Ex, building codes ~ no fireworks factories in residential area.

January 26, 2023 - 2:58 pmDid that one firefighter have a birdcage in his hand? Do they use canaries in case of gas leaks like miners used to, or…? Legit just curious.

January 26, 2023 - 2:58 pmthe laws worldwide regarding this really is a joke

January 26, 2023 - 2:58 pmThis reminds me of the Seest fireworks factory disaster in Denmark. I can hardly find any coverage of it, yet the existing footage is just incredible. Every firework was exploding at once – just a surreal scene. There were nuclear-level explosions that levelled the town. But only one person died, and the entire town was evacuated before anyone else was injured.

January 26, 2023 - 2:58 pmHearing the names of Dutch cities and neighbourhoods mangled is a bit… annoying… π
Enschede -> An-sge-day
Roombeek -> Roambayk (you could also try to translate it, but Creamstream has some other connotations best left unexplored.. π

January 26, 2023 - 2:58 pmAuthorities claim that a disaster is the result of human error when they donβt want to fix or even address the problem. In order to prevent the same disaster from occurring, systems and procedures need to be examined and fixed or upgraded. That costs money though. Firing workers is a better solution from an owners or managers position because it reduces costs.

January 26, 2023 - 2:58 pmPublic safety inspectors are also at fought for not inspecting the facility yearly.

January 26, 2023 - 2:58 pmI like this newer version of dark history, the voice sounds more natural and less like rocks in a tumbler

January 26, 2023 - 2:58 pmI wasn't born yet when this happened but I moved to Enschede a few years ago and studied in a building that's pretty much next to where the factory was and where the memorial is today. It's so surreal to me seeing how bad the destruction was compared to how nice the neighbourhood is nowadays. I'm happy that they've been able to rebuild but it's very sad thad something like this was able to happen, the authorities should have done more to prevent it. Great video as always though π

January 26, 2023 - 2:58 pmEverybody in that area knew it was a fireworks factory. The local government was trying to relocate the factory but the owners had no hurry to move. Also, nobody (government, fire brigade, owners and people around) believed fireworks could detonate like mass explosives (although there was plenty of evidence due to several explosions around the world). This believing was the reason why a lot of people believed (and probably still believe) the factory was hiding military explosives too.

January 26, 2023 - 2:58 pmStupid "lookie-lous," damn I hate that
i suck dick
January 26, 2023 - 2:58 pmHow was this not told to me in school and how is this not like a national tragedy
Crispy
January 26, 2023 - 2:58 pmI'm so confused by one aspect of your telling of this story. You make it seem that everyone is calling it "the firework factory" but they have no idea what kind of factory it is? What?
Steryo
January 26, 2023 - 2:58 pmThe people who blocked fire fighting crews because of their incomprehensible stupidity are the ones responsible for those deaths. I hope they know that.

Noxti!
January 26, 2023 - 2:58 pmAlso, it's a shame you didn't include the very plausible conspiracy that the Dutch government was storing military explosives on the grounds.

January 26, 2023 - 2:58 pmit's terrible these trageties happen, but i'm glad that people document these events, less we forget them

January 26, 2023 - 2:58 pmMy parents lived a good 90 km away from the city, but because the weather was so clear, they could see the huge plume of smoke coming from the horizon… 15 years later, I attended art school in that same neighborhood in a repurposed factory building just meters from where the blast had originated. Weird how life just moves on from these things….

January 26, 2023 - 2:58 pmNot to make this like a political thing but the help from the German fire engines was VERY welcome and appreciated. Without Europe's open border policy, the Dutch crews would've had to fend for themselves.
