Now thats what I call a Grand Finale!

Actually some fireworks factory blowing up.

Maybe someone can translate the voice near the end?

Hope the video works, if not, I'll try and fix, although I know nothing of html ;)

If it is the one I am thinking of, the camera man actually died at the end of the movie.

Poor bastard.. it does take a special type of person to stand and keep filming when the world is blatently about to end though. :(

If it's the vid it sounds like then this got shut last time it was posted.

Did the guy die? I want to fucking know right now.


Translation:

"The movie will now go in slowmotion... If you watch closely you can see the roofs litterally get blown of the houses."

The site that linked me to it didnt say anything about anyone dying, but that doesnt mean no one did.
I dont mean to make fun of anyone's death, but I wouldnt call them couragous if they knew they were about to die, and stayed to get a few shots :\
If anyone knows for sure if he died, by all means, close/edit it or whatever the mods want ;)

ultimate respect goes to any man that dies in the line of duty, whatever that duty may be.
