Ukraine's Entire Ammo Depot Exploding At Once Is One Hell Of A Sight

UK – Some 20,000 people are being evacuated after a series of explosions at a massive arms depot in eastern Ukraine described by officials as sabotage. The base in Balakliya, near Kharkiv, is around 100km (60 miles) from fighting against Russian-backed separatists. The dump is used to store thousands of tonnes of ammunition including missiles and artillery weapons. Rescue teams are overseeing a huge evacuation effort for people living in the city and nearby villages. The total area of the dump spans more than 350 hectares, the military says. Everyone within a 10km (6 miles) radius of the dump is being evacuated, the Interfax news agency quoted an aide to President Petro Poroshenko as saying. Munitions from the depot are used to supply military units in the conflict zone in nearby Luhansk and Donetsk, reports say.

Ukraine is not weak! Wait, yeah it kind of is. How else can you explain their entire munitions batch erupting like Mt. Vesuvius directly over a city? The only time this shit should happen is in a Michael Bay movie that has no reason to be green lit (another TMNT flick is on the way? Come on, America). I guess just be happy there wasn’t a Nuke from the glory days hidden in there somewhere. And to think that town’s greatest gift to the world is the deserted Cold War inspiration for a level out of Call Of Duty. Not anymore. Nice to see this place now has viral-ability on the Internet to go along with their oppression.

At least get some kooky Russian commentary in the background for entertainment purposes. The perfect dash of The Wrath Of God sent into the right person during an accidental explosion can live on forever. JESUS.
