The Enschede Fireworks Incident
🕑 Added 2021-07-13 10:15:01 +0000 UTCThis video brought to mind two general safety principles that I'd heard of before... neither of which were applied in this incident.
The first can be remembered with the acronym BANANA, which here stands for Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything. If you're building a chemical plant, factory, or any other thing which is home to industrial processes, I can't help but agree!
The other is a piece of advice about cordons. When deciding how far back to set a safety cordon, the advice goes, you should retreat until you're 100% confident that you're safe... and then double that distance.

Thanks so much for watching, and for your kind words. Ever since I was a kid I've wanted to be a storyteller, so I'm super pleased to hear that!

Very much enjoy your videos... You are a superb story teller - your voice (love your accent), the information you are imparting and the graphics are all in sync. A real pleasure to watch and re-watch. I tell everyone I can to check out your channel. Much thanks for your hard-work.
