Damn that was fast, and that guy ran back for what looked like his phone or something. I had no idea shit could go up that fast. Is this cause the aluminum or was something else accelerating the fire?

There's a hydraulic oil leak right in the upper middle of the frame, aerosolized oil spraying all over the ceiling and falling on hot equipment and igniting. It's like a grease fire on steroids.

It's not oil, its molten aluminum judging from how bright and white the flame is and the fact that the machine is an aluminum bar extruder. People don't generally realize how insanely flammable aluminum can be when it is reduced to a fine enough powder. Powdered aluminum mixed with an oxidizer is what makes fire crackers go bang. It's also one of the two main ingredient in thermite.

I thought it might be oil or coolant. It pops off like a geyser and it was all over in seconds.

I thought he was trying to shut something down, but yeah, it looks like his phone.

I was the one who reposted this first on reddit and it blew up. The clip was apparently leaked and my post actually got DMCA'd by the company who owns this plant after like 50k upvotes. Once on the internet, always on the internet lol

"I was the one who reposted this first" has made me laugh a little more each time I reread that statement.

Where'd you find the clip before posting it on reddit?

I wonder at which point in that video that whole environment became lethal to any living being without protection. How close were those people to that moment? Any firefighters in here have any input?

Where did this happen?

Aluminum plant.

No shit sherlock. Point's for describing the obvious and being ironic, negated by not actually understanding the context might be more then that.
A large fire broke out in an aluminium plant in the city of Dos Hermanas, about 12 km from the centre of Seville, in southwestern Spain.
“Catastrophic failure at an aluminium extrusion line. Looks like an overpressure event, and the oil itself (over a drop ceiling no less) open a portal to a demon dimension,”

Mine says failed to load media. Could be on my end but I figured I'd mention it just in case

Mine doesn't say anything, it just doesn't show the video. The timeline is there, it moves when I click it, but the video itself is blank from beginning to end.

Worked for me on Boost
