There are a few famous surveillance videos of the moment of ignition I've seen. One was of a rocket fuel plant in Utah. From those first 2 or 3 frames, we can tell EXACTLY the point of origin. Since everything was gone 1 second later, that was important. We don't get that here, unfortunately.
Also, an infamous refinery explosion near Chicago was caught on film by accident by a local commercial firm team panning the horizon showing all the industrial activity in that area. Every regulatory agency you could think of wanted that tape.
The kicker: the guy who got that shot was the dolly camera operator the night our band got filmed for a TV show about club acts in Chicago. So, I actually knew him.
