How do you know when you're to close to a firework factory explosion ?

When it blows you off your feet

Video has captured the moment a cameraman was hurled backwards as he filmed an exploding fireworks factory in a small town in Colombia.
The explosion happened in Granada, a town on the main road between the Colombian capital Bogota and Girardot.
The footage shows the cameraman being knocked over as the building explodes, sending burning fireworks flying in all directions.
It is not known whether anyone was injured in the explosion, which happened near a complex of restaurants and a busy road.

I miss all the fun stuff.

Thought for a minute before looking at thread that zhang lit up a smoke on the shipping dock again .. rather common for accidents at fireworks factories ..
reminds me.. gotta pick some up for the kids at the local village for chinese new year ..

That looks like the last New Year's celebration at my place...minus the shotguns and acetylene bomb.
My brother had to have surgery to repair his ear drum.

Why does your thread title sound like a riddle?

Is that the same as
How can you tell if an elephant has been in your cupboard?
Answer: You find his footprints in the peanut butter.
Or what did Tarzan say when he saw the elephants coming?
Answer: He said here come the elephants.
Soooo how DO you know when you're too close to a fireworks explosion.?
People look at you and say "Ahhh" "Ohhhh"

I don't know that it does but if it does I've provided the answer

That was definitely the awesomest fireworks show ever! Man, that dude prolly pissed himself. The best video of the year. Lucky bastard should be grateful he wasn't any nearer to the explosion.

When you are filming the event and the blast zone still deadly for humans ( cause it destroys your inner works ) stop at approximately 1 or 2 meters from you. True story.
