Incredible video footage filmed by someone running for safety shows huge blasts going off as a blaze rips through the warehouse
It might resemble a scene from a disaster movie, but this footage actually shows the horror after an explosion at a firework factory which left two people hurt.
The blast set off hundreds of rockets and sparked dozens of blasts by the roadside.
Footage shot outside the factory, in Granada, Colombia, shows the structure erupt, while booms caused by the explosives can be heard echoing around the landscape.
At one point during the two-minute video, the person filming the huge explosion - which resembles a war zone - is thrown by the force of a blast.
A person on crutches is also seen trying to get through the seemingly endless stream of rockets to safety.
Crews of firefighters responded to the incident at the warehouse on Sunday.
Rescue teams have not yet been able to get near enough to the site to know if anyone else has been hurt.
