Huge explosions

A segment from a TLC program about disastrous explosions and fire, featuring a couple of BLEVE (boiling liquid-evaporating vapor event), and the fire/explosions that wiped out a rocket fuel plant.
On the morning of March 4, 1996, a friend called me from Weyauwega, Wis., to tell of a large derailment and fire there. Little did we know at the time, but a number of liquid petroleum cars were involved, which would result in the town being evacuated for almost three weeks for fear of a BLEVE. Luckily, it didn't happen, and the (paper-fed) fire basically was allowed to burn itself out until a controlled detonation was conducted.
