Re-edited version w/Slow-Mo: www.youtube.com Chicago Lawndale neighborhood, August 29, 2007. The abandoned Brach Candy Factory doubles as Gotham All-purpose Hospital for the show Dark Knight. Sequenced demolition charges combined with special effects make a thrilling scene.

@BadHistoryDays
He didn’t die until January 22 2008, and this was filmed a few months before that.
@BadHistoryDays Now I know why you call yourself “BadHistoryDays”.
what really sucks is that those people watching the explosion had no idea what movie it was for until they saw it for themselves once the movie came out, ha ha

@BadHistoryDays
oh… do you see the movie, i think not. He is the last to run away from the implosion.
@BadHistoryDays ??? the scene was filmed on 8/29/07. Heath Ledger did pass away until 1/22/08. So why are you saying that he is dead!?
heath was alredy dead by this scene
im guessing the 2 dis likes were people inside the explosions, center LOL.
@darthcerda121498 dude so did my cousin
its pretty cool to imagine heath ledger playing the joker disguised as a nurse is right there hitting that detonator getting in a bus and so on. llolz!
Better upload this someplace else — it’s a good tape, but it’s going to be flagged sooner or later and get taken down. You watch.
O_O
Hope no one was in there
my granda worked there but he got fired cause of dat
Yeaaaaaaa Explosions!!!!!
im sure all of u hav seen the movie but notice when the explosions stop for i dunno like 30 secs thats wen heath is like hitting the detanator and hes like wat the hell?!
Very good!
No they didn’t. Look at some amateur clips like these from a higher angle and you’ll Heath walking out in front.
Possibly the COOLEST SHIT I’VE EVER SEEN.
That would be so TIGHT to be there as it happened. I mean…..to witness history in the making….
Question though……Considering the danger of the explosion, that’s crazy if everyone on set was as close as it seems in the movie. The flying debris is basically what I’m referring to…..That stuff is deadly.
Hmm. I could’ve sworn it sounded 10x more explosive in the video. I wonder how they did that.
it wasnt really a hospital, it was an old candy factory that was set for demolition anyways, so they used it for the filming
did they really blow that hopital up?
It doesn’t have the special effects added to the explosion. Plus it wasn’t recorded with the same type of camera as the actual crew has
lol duh, its a some one filming it with a personal camera at a far distance..lol smart one..
because it’s taken from a different angle
this doesnt look like the explosion in the movie…???
