1999, Hub oil explosion and fire disaster Calgary, Ab

Originally on my HDIndie news channel

During my previous life as a freelance cameraman, I was lucky to arrive very shortly after the initial explosion, however we quickly had to back off as things became for more dangerous. Amazingly, the CFD were able to cool one of the large oil tanks that was on the verge of exploding, otherwise there would have been a far more massive BLEVE (boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion) than the initial one. This was one scary event.
