Yo Vulture,
no not home-made(to bad :D ) they are from the shops, but the pics and the video's are from an amateur, friend of my...

Cya

[RTC]

How much did all this set you back? (how much did it cost) and did you buy them from like a normal high street shop? or a firework depot, like where they sell to all the little chain stores that sell them on..?

[mr.evil]

well, i know that some of my friends spent about $6000 for newyears eve.. Nice huh? :D The Fireworks is buyed at an Huge store, called Alpeco, in Belgium(1hour drive from here..) here you see some pics tooken there:

<img src="http://www.freakpyromaniacs.com/c63.jpg" alt="" />

$6000 american dollers? Or what? What would the amount you spent be in sterling?

[mr.evil]

Yes, 6000 american dollars, somethimes even more.
This year i won't buy fireworks, i go buy more chemicals and glassware... both are easy to obtain.

what do you mean with sterling?(i'm not english so a bit slowly with understanding things :)

[zaibatsu]

RTC means Pound Sterling, English currency (at least for now :mad: ). using xe.net, $6000 = £4206.62.

[Bitter]

I had one of those 'cakes' once and lit it without opening it out. It sounded like an uzi.

[RTC]

That's a lot of money spent on just fireworks! But hey if you love them like me.. :D

Zaibatsu, I also use xe.com/net for currency conversion's, small world eh?

[Jumala]

Hallo Mr. Evil,
could you please mail me the adress of this company. It looks very interesting and belgium isn´t far away from me.

[nbk2000]

This is what I don't understand. In belgium (maybe euro?) you can't really own a gun, but you can buy monster huge fireworks in stores. In the US, you can buy monster huge guns, but no fireworks except on the 4th of July (most states).

Why can't we have both? <img src="http://www.roguesci.org/ubb/icons/icon19.gif" alt="" />

[mr.evil]

Hey,
Bitter; cakes are really one of my favorites, nice effects etc.
Jumala; check your e-mail
Nbk; hehe yeah, stupid laws huh? :( well in belgium and the Netherlands you can buy a gun, but it isn't very easy to get one, but legal when you have the right licenses..

ALPECO FIREWORKS
Starrenhoflaan 9
2950 Kapellen

<a href="http://www.alpeco.be" target="_blank">Their website which seems to be offline</a>

Mr. evil do they sell fuse? They wouldn't sell pyro chems (Al, Mg) for a chance??

[zaibatsu]

Where as in the UK we can't get big fireworks or big guns :(. Nice pics btw Mr Evil

[vulture]

Well, it isn't that hard to get weapons in belgium, you can even buy or steal semtex here. Visit the town of Charleroi... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
I walked with my scoped airrifle right past the gate of parliament here, and i'm only 17 and the shop made no fuzz about putting a scope on...

In the ardens there are some mining facilities which use semtex as well as blasting gelatine. They deliver it in amounts of 10-200kg in a van at 6 o'clock in the morning in an almost unhabited area without protection. Go figure.... :rolleyes:

Sometimes i get tempted to sell explosives, if you know those stupid gangsters are willing to pay more than 2000$ for some measely 2oz of PETN or semtex <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

[mr.evil]

Hey,
zaibatsu; really? when it's legal to buy Fireworks in the UK? only the last days of the year, or the whole year?

Vulture; what exactly do you mean with stealing Semtex from Charleroi? :)
I was on holiday last summer in La Roche(ardennes) Nice town.
Yes, they sell Visco fuse. Also quick fuse. No, sorry no chemicals.

Cya

[vulture]

They call Charleroi the Parlermo on the banks of the river Sambre.
It has an astounding high violent crimes rate, robberies, attacks of money couriers....

You can easily steal explosives from mining sites i ment. Especially blasting gelatine which they need because of the hard granite rocks.
What's your email BTW?

<small>[ March 19, 2002, 02:19 PM: Message edited by: vulture ]</small>

[mr.evil]

A i see(about Charleroi)
Have you ever really stealed Explosives?(sounds Good :) )
My e-mail is Blasterguy42@hotmail.com and TheShadow54@hotmail.com
what's your e-mail BTW?

Cya

[DarkAngel]

Vulture: I whas watching the Belgium news on VRT today and they said something about Charleroi i heard someone saying Quote:"They shoot with millitary weapons there"

I never heard about it before what's going on exactly and why is the crime rate so high there?

Mr Evil:I just can't believe your friends buy for over $6000,- of fireworks you would need a big truck to transport it, and how would they sett it all of in one night? (Even if they would start setting it of earlyer it would take a very long time to ignite it all)
It would sound more logical if he would re-sell it illegaly to other ppl,but still $6000,-

[Anthony]

Dutch people make me laugh:) I take it the cops showed up in the 4minute video?

You can get most of that stuff in the UK, with the exception of the crackers and the mortars which were banned in a knee-jerk reaction... Thing is you now see 2"-3" single shot roman candles - not like they just took the mortars and side fused them to circumvent the law:)

[mr.evil]

DarkAngel; they go several days a year, with an Truck. 6000$ isn't so much when buying proffesional fireworks like 6" shells, pro-cakes(3") etc.
They set it off the whole day+night(31 december). But i know for sure they will save alot for birthday party's etc.

Anthony, what's so strange about the cops? i know a story about a guy, who fired the whole day firecrackers, after a few hours one cop on a motercycle showed up, dumbasses :D
but are you trying to say, that the cops in the UK show up after a minute or less? that's pretty shitty.

Cya

[DBSP]

The cops arent so quick here, at least not smart. :) Erlier this week I saw four cop cars with about 10 policemen talking to 4 drunk people that verent even agressive or anything. And the other day a guy had a brake in in his car so he rang for the cops. "hello I've just had a brake in in my car could you come and have a look? NO we don't have any cars availible." Kinda makes you wonder what your tax money goes to!!

I live in a small vilage (about 200 people) the cops drive by here about once in two weeks or something. We sometimes fire guns in the backyard without anyone complaining. On new years eve I set off 130g AP in the garden. No one cares around here, good for my hobby! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

<small>[ March 20, 2002, 01:28 PM: Message edited by: DBSP ]</small>

[mr.evil]

Hey,
ah i see about the cops, well the laws are F*cking soft here, when you're arrested for shoplifting, you just say sorry and tell them why you did it, and you are a free man :) also, in jail for life means here 15years(quiet handy when your hobby is like ours :D )

WTF?! have you fired 130grams AP in your garden? AH! that's the reason why i find tiny pieces of glass here on my roof :D

well, Cya

[Anthony]

Nothing strange, just heard the word "polici" and thought they'd shown up to spoil your fun.

[vulture]

djeez, man, if they don't show up when you're firing about 100 rockets in a crowded neighbourhood with high buildings on a date that's different from december 31, they gotta be pretty retarded! :rolleyes:

After the enschede disaster there's quite a heist against fireworks in the netherlands.

<small>[ March 20, 2002, 03:06 PM: Message edited by: vulture ]</small>

[mr.evil]

Hey,
well i guess you're right vulture, pretty dumb cops :D
Anthony, the word for Police is in the netherlands politie, but we call them skoten(assholes), blauwhemden(blueshirts), smeris(well, just a bad word for a cop..)

about the enschede disaster, i think everybody on this planet knows about it :( , it was really a BIG bang, i've found a pic of the Big Detonation(a few hundred kilos of Flashpowder)here it is(with some other pics)

<img src="http://enschede.freeyellow.com/enschede2.jpg" alt="" />

[EP]

Not a very good idea to have that place in the middle of a residentail area. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

[nbk2000]

People who live next to firework factories have no reason to complain if it blows up. Just like people who live downwind of a toxic chemical plant (Bhopal, India for instance) have no right to bitch if they get gassed one day.

If you live next to an imminent death hazard for years, you've accepted the risk and have to deal with the consequences when the dice come up snake eyes.

[mr.evil]

Hey,
Vulture; the mpg movie on the roof is really awsome(maybe not very kind to say, but it is the truth :) )
EP; most of the people didn't even know there was an fireworks factory in their neighterhood. The goverment didn't give the right information, and there was something going on with the licenses and stuff..... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

Cya

[Rat Bastard]

DAMN! that was amazing! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

Now why don't they construct firework factories there, like the ones constructed in the U.S?

I saw a show on a U.S firework factory, where it was a bunch of little bunkers spread out in an open area. Each bunker can only hold two workers, and the floor is coated with rubber. And it was NOT located in the heart of some dense residential area. It's a lot better having one bunker detonate, rather than the whole damn factory exploding at once!

<small>[ March 21, 2002, 04:49 AM: Message edited by: Rat Bastard ]</small>

[nbk2000]

Just goes to show you that flashpowder isn't to be trifled with or taken lightly.

And why didn't the fireworks people post flyers on phonepoles or such in the area to let people know about their presence? If the owners were killed in the explosion than it's a moot point, but if they're still alive, they should be held accountable for not letting people know about their presence in a residential neighborhood.

Did they ever figure out the cause? Probably not, given how totally demolished everything must have been, judging from the pictures.

[vulture]

Well, the fireworks were stored in containers they use on seaships. They were not suitable for fireworks and there were too many.

The cause has not been determined yet, but because their is alot of footage, it's known that there was a small fire, which caused a small explosion which threw burning particles everywhere. Now this wouldnt have been a bad thing if one of the doors of a container with G1.1 unprocessed compositions hadn't been open... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />
It caught fire, exploded and all the boxes next to it exploded, triggering a chain reaction.

IIRC, all houses in a 500m radius were destroyed, those within 1km had roofs blown of and fires and up to 2km windows where shattered.
The forensic guys couldn't recover anything from the "blast" site, there's a deep crater, in fact they have never recovered shrapnel of the containers, it's assumed that they were totally vaporized.

[mr.evil]

well, i dont know exactly..
If the owners were killed in the explosion than it's a moot point, but if they're still alive, they should be held accountable for not letting people know about their presence in a residential neighborhood.

there are 23 people killed and hundreds injured. The cause of the disaster was an asshole who was playing with fire, he's in jail now.
but anyway, the Owner of the Fireworks company to, he didn't clean up the labs, so i think there was a few kilo's of BP etc. in open containers, ass you can see; the littlest spark or heat can cause deflagration-detonation.

[DBSP]

Could someone with a good conection split(3-5Mb) those vids and uppload them to the ftp. It's kinda hard to download that big files in one go on a modem. I'd really apriciate it and I belive there are others who would be glad as well. I've seen that page before but I couldn't get the files then. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

[mr.evil]

Hey,
i have exactly the same problem! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

[RTC]

Use Download Accelerator Plus (DAP free for download at <a href="http://www.speedbit.com">www.speedbit.com</a> It will let you pause/resume the download, so if you get cut off it doesn't matter you just resume it from where it left off, you can also input your ISP login details and have it reconnect for you if you get disconnected. (good if your downloading those game rip's while you sleep <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> )

[DBSP]

I've used download managers before but they have given me problems such as not being able to download sertain files and such, but I'll give DAP a try--->downloading.

[Anthony]

I've never had a problem with Getright, has FTP browsing built in too.

That video would have been better if the cameraman hadn't fallen over:) The d/l took me 4minutes:)

[RTC]

4mins? Wasn't you (at one point at least) on 33.3kb/s dialup?

[Anthony]

Yes, I used to get around 36k but now I leave DUNing to AOL users:D

[nbk2000]

I'm on a 24Kb dial-up, but I still manage about 70mb of downloads a night (mainly hentai comics).

I've used Filehound for my downloads for the last few years. Works great.

No, I didn't hear about any disaster on May 10. I don't watch TV. Haven't for more than a year. I realized what a waste of time the Mass Media Mind-Control Device was.

[mr.evil]

well, i've downloaded the download accelerator, it works fine. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

well, me either. i don't watch TV anymore(now i'm 24-7 behind the Computer :D )
Those Hentai comics, are that those figures with guns and girls with big Boobs? i mean, such like action movies, but then drawed? :confused:

Cya!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Actually, hentai comics are japanese porno comic books. These can either be "serious" or funny. But they're always smutty.

For an example, go to <a href="http://www.flowerhentai.supereva.it/FoHome.htm" target="_blank">here</a>, then click on the "manga" button on the left. You'll see what I mean.

Though these tend to be LARGE downloads of 10Mb or more per series. Some of these mange are 200 pages or more.

[TheBicher]

NBK, why don't you upgrade to 56k? The modems aren't that expensive, I have about 3 old ones laying around the houes. I have DSL, so i can get all the porn movies I need on morpheus. I like to use getright for my downloads. Works well and i like being able to download from multiple sites at the same time to make the download go faster.

NBK and other people that live in California, do you know of any good places to buy legal fireworks? I know that you can buy fireworks, just not sure if there are restrictions like during July only or something. I would do a search, but it's getting late and i just decided to post this with my above post before I crash.

[nbk2000]

You're talking to someone who used to have a T1 speed (3Mb) cable modem connection.

Believe me, if it were as simple as getting a 56K modem, it'd be done. But, you see, I have 2 already. It's not the modem, it's the phoneline. I live at the end of the line in the middle of nowhere, 5 miles from the middle of nowhere cowshit town. Between the decades old phone wires, distance, water seepage, etc, I'm lucky to be able to talk, let alone get 26K modem speed. :(

But I'm moving soon, back to the big city where I can get a decent cable connection. :)

As for fireworks in california, forget it. It's only permitted to be sold the week prior to July 4th. And it's the wimpy "safe and sane" shit. That means nothing that explodes, leaves the ground, or shoots a projectile. In other words, no crackers, rockets, mortars, shells, roman candles, or anything else worth a damn. :mad:

[RTC]

Flowerpots and fountains? How boring!

[EP]

Are there any tribal reservations in CA? Where I live in WA, there are several within a few hours, and being under federal rather than state/county law, all types of fireworks are legal.

[nbk2000]

There's plenty of reservations here. But I've never been to one because who want's to see a piece of the third world here in America?
