Big Boom! NEVER before seen!

What happens when you detonate 429 tons of military grade high explosives all at once. The initial explosion at the very beginning is only 30 tons.
To give you a size perspective this video was shot from 2-3 miles away out side of the frag radius (sort of).
If you watch closely you can see the blast wave travel toward us.

By the way that movie "The Hurt Locker"? Is about as realistic a portrayal of US Army EOD, as "Princess Bride" is a realistic portrayal of the British royal family. That movie wasnt ANYTHING like real EOD work and should never have won an Oscar. Summary- It sucked.

these guys were ending their tour, so they shot a few off to enjoy their last day overseas together

Uh no.

you see the light first because light travels much faster than sound....

[DEFORCER]

@gazakind

It wasnt. It was a former MIG air base and those are former air drop-able bombs being disposed of.

@gyozza1

Oh so you were there? Hmmm must have missed you while I was filming. No, it isnt a nuke. No first one isnt closer. No, nothing in what you commented was right.

[weirdkid5]

ever since the beginning of time. we will all die one day it is inevitable, but why does anyone even care? they try their best to defend and help but destruction rate goes faster than helpin rate, basically, tree huggers and people like that waste money and waste time and you all know it

[choad47]

ROFL, its called a controlled blast. no ones getting killed. Stop listening to what ignorant people tell you and find out some information on your own, you might be suprised.

[cobrasniper555]

Haha. You're funny. If you have any brain cells left in your dumb-witted head of yours, you would know that those are C-O-N-T-R-O-L-E-D demolitions of munitions found. No casualties are intended/resulted in this kind of situation (unless EOD messes something up).
