As to the last poster there are lots more things to kill you above ground than below. Of course today with have the MOP bomb to take care of any bunker out there.
I cannot believe this could be due to oxygen exhaustion. Because in deep bunkers the air conditioning and replenishment systems do not reach the anti-bb hollows. An no-self retained explosion using explosives that require external oxygen sourcing would have actually reduced yield due to oxygen starvation.
Ah, THAT shaking. ok then, that is because of hollow charge detonation sequence. Some material in superplasticity penetrates the final layer, so the superplasticity must be achieved by supercompressing the copper filling of the hollow head to the point of superplasticity. Ceramic is used to block the action as the countermeasure.
the shaking motion is because this isn't a video but a 8mm highspeed film camera played instead of the normal 1000 fps to 30fps for capturing.
And I say, still, what they DON't say is that steel&kevlar 1X1 inch layer *would* have caused the bb to blow right after the 1st layer.
An onboard hall sensor finds that speed has been reduced drastically and fires the charge. The reduction could happen if you reduce by means of steel the velocity, for the kevlar not to have its fibers break.
It even failed to concentrate energy out of the 2nd block, instead it blew between the 1st and 2nd. Most bunkers today (as for NATO standard, that is) could suffer minor damage by this.
NATO standard require 3 separate boxes - one external shell of 5 feet thick reinforced concrete, 4 ft gap, another 3 feet of RC, 4 ft gap and another 3 feet RC.
been there, done that.
This sucker would have blown into the gaps releasing the energy there - the inside would have hardly been damaged, no shut.
Even though the question was asked 4 months ago, I believe the "shaking" or "shuttering" of the fireball has to do with its intake of oxygen. If I remember right, BLU-113 consumes oxygen so fast upon detonation that it drains its immediate area before the oxygen can refill the displayed volume. Then, that displayed area quickly refills with oxygen, thus causing another "shake", and on again a couple of times. This is one of the reasons why it is so effective at boring through deep rock walls.
the shaking is due to the combustion of the surrounding air. Once the explosive is detonated, the flames erupt, causing a vacuum like effect in the surrounding air, thus briefly contracting or preventing the flame from spreading. Once this vacuum effect vanishes, the flame is then able to proceed with its expansion.
"High" explosives (i.e. TNT, C4, not gunpowder), as used in explosive weapons, contain both oxidiser and fuel, hence can even be detonated in a vacuum.
Re-read my comment and go take some chemisty classes. High explosives do NOT require oxygen. They do not combust, but detonate, which is a self-contained reaction within the explosive material.
Oxygen is NOT flammable. A material is defined as flammable if it can generate flames while reacting with oxygen.
ahh, but are you forgeting the oxidiser in a high explosive flash combusts, there for you DONT see a fire ball, the fireball is the reaction of the air oxidising.
The oxidiser does not combust, the reaction is not combustion but detonation, though it is superficially similar to combustion.
The air does not oxidise as it contains no fuel. Again, atmospheric oxygen is not involved in the high-explosive reaction.
The fireball is the visible manifestation of the cooling of the super-heated air, remenant chemicals from the explosion and debris, as the electrons in the molecules emit visible light to return to lower energy states.
I am not here to argue with u but rather clarify the detonation process.(i am bit rusty on terms though) k so the oxidizers(To combine with oxygen) basically react with the explosive compound to add oxygen to their mixture. But do the reaction itself produces oxygen? (<= ur clues lead me to believe that "yes it does")
However i somewat disagree with ur statement "as the electrons in the molecules emit visible light to return to lower energy states" i think it cud be mre like fuel bomb effect.

1 inches of of steel or kevlar on the first layer would have hold it from busting the 2nd layer. not enough kinetic energy.

ps. can anyone explain that "shaking" motion of fireball?
i think because of the heat from the explocion the air expanse so quick that we can see et whit ore eyes.

So we'll forget about the fact that fire needs oxygen to burn then? Oxygen is one of the most combustible gases there is.

I think that "shaking" you see is the result of hypersonic shockwave reverberations occurring between the two concrete barriers.
