Wedneysday a firework factory, with 2000 tons of fireworks stored, exploded in Kolding, Denmark, and the fire was still on today, but under control.
Kolding is only aprox. miles from Vejle where I live, and I used to study down there from 1993 - 2001.
They tried to prevent the fire from reaching the main werehouse, where 800 tons where stored, but they failed, as the ecploded 5.45 pm CET.
The result is that a large area looks like a warzone, with more than 350 houses(homes) desroyed, and 2000 people have been evacuated. It's rumored the explosion has heared 200 kilometers from Kolding.
This was an axident and not terror - thanks god.

I checked it out on Google, Danish fireworks factory explodes (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20041104.wfirework1104/BNStory/International/)
One of the explosions was the equivalent of a magnitude-2 earthquake, according to the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland.
Very glad your OK Henrik.
