700 Tonnes of Explosives

[yncry]

mining the lazy way:

Boss: we need it done by tomorrow

Workers: ok *blows it up*

Boss: um...ok then.... let's go get some pizza!

[preparenow1]

700 tons more like 700lbs and 20 - 30 holes with a depth of 15 meters and a with of 10 meters btw i have worked in a quarry for 15years.

[preparenow1]

using that much of explosive for an area like that would mean that you would have to for the areas above to get the same depth and if you damned 2 houses 15km away at that so that means you would have for the ones above causing more damage, the quarry would get and investigation and you would be told to use less explosive, by the looks of things there have been a lot of blasts so i very much doubt you haves used ...

[thesuperdev1]

SHUTUP AND IL TAKE YOU TO THE PARK!!!!!!!

[thesuperdev1]

LETS GO NERER MOMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stijnimanbik]

FUS DO RA!

[qcforever5]

wow every mine wants good blasts like that

[Wildturkeyrtcw]

only real slaves use a pickaxe.

[stimps90]

700 tons of poo

[MrPiroboy]

if it's 700 tones so that camera would be in china



[neitag]

DAMN !

[96ProSto]

O KURWA Awesome!!

[asteroceras]

This is not 700 tons or tonnes. Most probably 700 pounds or perhaps 700kg.

"Shattered two houses windows 15km away", while barely wobbling the camera under 100m away?

According to the uploader's other videos, he was 17 years old at the time this video was uploaded, while he "was working at this site", so I'm pretty dubious of what he claims. Maybe someone gave him this video and told him it was 700 tons as a joke.

[Jimmison007]

@asteroceras The camera is mounted (cool invention huh? ), there is no indication of distance, your claim of 'less than 100m' is a loose a claim as saying you know how big the wall face is and how heavy and deep the explosives were.

[asteroceras]

@Jimmison007 11 tons: /watch?v=W4VtH3Wusn4

12.5 tons: /watch?v=3F1vFbo4ZdU

18.5 tons: /watch?v=0cl9cKm-gZI

For comparison: 500 tons: /watch?v=ZeFAhbzlF2Q (from 18 seconds)

Still think your explosion was 700 tons?

If you change the video title there won't be so many people complaining that it's wrong.

[MattS6993]

@asteroceras I agree

[n0obcamp]

@asteroceras Haha dude, this is more then 700kg..

[filmftw3]

@asteroceras

camera is half a mile away, lol

[asteroceras]

@Nojcad It is NOT 700 tonnes! That's the whole reason we were arguing! (2 months ago)

[berger1980]

pfft, totally not 700 tons. I think a tonne must be different....lol

[matthewthereviewer]

I hope you know you need to start a new world.

[epistte]

Maybe 700 tons was a bit much so 400 tons of ANFO in a different blast pattern would have sufficed for that cast shot, especially if you broke windows 15km away. When didnt they also blast the lower bench at the same time?

[20fireman12]

whao

[Agentoxedo07]

Holy-Terrorist:>*=* Look a paradox, User Jimmison007 published this video 700 Tonnes of Explosives, 007 =/= 700 are the inverse paradox, are the primary paradox comment be me to speak you, secondary paradox are other stuff!

I speak french and little english.

[Jimmison007]

@Agentoxedo07 vous pensez trop mon ami :)

[yofail1]

@Jimmison007 hey how much u think i can get 4 a piece of granite 1.5 meters by .5 meters and .5 meters tall i`m from the us so i don`t know it that is how it is said..... one us dollar is .977 aud if that's where you are if not on google search currency calculator

[pfeff100]

that are never 700 tons!

[paul651502]

Lol obvious troll = over-obvious.

[GenoHacker]

Thats one way to play minecraft IRL

[OnnomonnomonnO]

holy fuck =-OOO 

[Rod102011]

That was nice!!!!!

[orilionn]

minning, the american/lazy way

[Jimmison007]

@orilionn haha actually the Australian way :P No doubt the American way is exactly the same

[orilionn]

@Jimmison007 good point, the americans would have blown up the wrong hill ^^

[SuperDickweed]

@orilionn Then we would have brought it democracy.

[ColonelChamberlain]

@orilionn more like mining without making several hundred underpaid laborers work in unsafe conditions way.

[corwin11412]

@orilionn But also the most fun way! :)

[shadowr434]

@orilionn Ah,Jimmison007 owned you,you prick.Thats what you get for trashing the US.

[orilionn]

@shadowr434 lol listen to urself, talk about out of contects, fkin child go troll elsewere, america sucks

[shadowr434]

@orilionn Learn how to spell numb nuts. You suck and Europe licks sweaty nuts. I really dont give a crap about you and your fellow assholes over there,soon enough you will start killing eachother again and I just hope we are smart enough to stay out of it since you people do nothing but trash us. Fuck off.

[orilionn]

@shadowr434 lol @ 12 year old tolling, u lose muppet, know when to quit.

[shadowr434]

@orilionn What ever you say ass wipe.Maybe you should look at someones channel before you go assuming they are a child? You are most likely the whiny teen ass that blames the US for everything so piss off.

[orilionn]

@shadowr434 blah blah u talk to much yank, confirmd TROLL!!! im done with you loser. last post as u aint got any worth sayin troll

[shadowr434]

@orilionn Your writing as much as I am, what is your issue? You got put in your place by Jimmison and got your panties in a bunch?Tough shit,deal.

[orilionn]

@shadowr434 no1 put me in my place u fucking moron, ready my very 1st post, kinda final u wanker, keep talkin as now u look like a right fucking american idiot, troll,

[odyman3]

@orilionn umm, and how would you do it? put people there digging so if a collapse happens they get killed...... Its the American SMART, EFFICIENT way.

[translucentorb]

@orilionn Its actually the most cost effective way of liberating and crushing rock. As a result, its standard practice world wide to anyone who has access to ANFO and a good amount of material to get at. This particular shot probably moved anywhere between 70,000 and 100,000 tons in under 5 seconds. Real lazy right? Ignorant prick.

[orilionn]

@translucentorb bit slow on the reply moron, check the date stamp b4 u chime in and try to troll, also read what i said as u missed my point completely, theres nothing left to say after u understand so pipe down.

[zanuha]

@orilionn

Because REAL MEN use pickaxes to mine thousands of tons of dirt.

[orilionn]

@zanuha finaly some1 gets my point, THANK YOU :)

[ck867]

As most have been saying, no way that's 700t... I've seen shots 2 kilometers long on a 50m wide bench with 20m deep holes (4 million bcm) use over 2000 tonnes of explosive (0.5 powder factor). No way this shot is even close to being a third of the size of that...

In any case, I hope someone copped a pineapple for all the coal that was lost as it was cast into the pit...

[Yabanci26]

I like how the sound comes after you see the bang. ahhhh the speed of sound. why are you so slow :)

[AutoDidactic26]

this is 500 tons or 1 million pounds of TNT (ignore title)

watch?v=u8SooMQBFVE&feature=re­lated

[rolfiew]

the powder factor we use is about 0.4, ie 400 kg of explosive breaks about 1000 tonne of rock. so if this blast was roughly 25 wide by 25 high by 200m long there be about 94000 cubic metres of rock in it, at an sg of 2.8 this would give about 260000 tonnes. so dividing 260000 tonnes by 1000 tonnes yields 260 lots of 400 kg of explosives. giving 104000 kg of explosives or 104 tonnes, depending on the blast size this could be of the order of 700 tonnes of bomb

[metallicker691]

Nice shot. dont see how that could be 700t tho looks like a 10m bench 100 maybe 200 metres long maybe if your holes were 50m deep would be believable

[chipmunk3k]

wow... i want to be a demolition trainee now :D

[dynoblasterbabe]

@chipmunk3k

this isn't demolition chipmunk, THIS IS MINING!!!!

[bloodysword100]

awsome i like the boom

[Jimmison007]

does anyone actually know, or are you claiming stuff? This was a video from my mate working at the mine

[twinturboboxer]

Lolz at 700 tonnes. I think we are using 10t of explosives to 27500t of rock. The most we'll use onsite is around 40t of explosive ANFO.

[Tockers84]

Nice shot, but no way was that 700 tonnes.

[TheCraigy83]

yeah 700tonnes at this mine and about 800kgs at this explosion its only a 100meter or so rock face 700tonnes wud over flow two of them massive quarry dumper trucks and take about 2 years to set up ,the chages are pringle tube sized an weight a few kilos and several hundred are used not 150000 odd thousand like 700 tonnes wub be .

[Bennyboy46a]

@TheCraigy83 And your experience in blasting would be??? With anfo as the agent i would say 700 ton is about right for the size of shot. Anyone using sticks on a shot this size would be nuts. Multiple drills and several trucks loading could pull this shot off in a rather short timeframe, a matter of weeks.

[purdueguy1212]

cool vid

[DOTKIX]

Cool  :-)

[dindinz666]

yeah how long didit take to set up?

[Akaoushi]

Very cool, I wonder how long it took to set up the charges.

[RottenPyro]

Look at that crane on the top right corner, it looks small from the angle it was shot but it is quite big.

[epistte]

That's a dragline, not a crane.

[575kiwi]

mean shot,

[Stopbeingfaggots]

You can't really comment because you don't actually understand the size of the rock face.

[Jimmison007]

i was working at this site, it was around 700 tonnes used

[hardhitman69]

At what depth were the charges used? Type of explosive?

[NollieSk8]

it's a whole new term for ''moving a mountain''

[foreur07]

C'est quoi... vous blaster juste la moitier de la face ?

[Jimmison007]

c'est pour éclaircir pour la construction

[monchienniki]

c'étais quoi la construction? au Canada?
