When I was a teenager a whole fireworks factory factory exploded five miles from where we lived. It gave off that white shockwave plume people describe in the video, it is just hard to see because these are videos from 2004 and phone cameras weren't as good back then.

The equivalent of several hundred tons of TNT, maybe 1/20th the power of the hiroshima bomb or perhaps more. No radiation though, no million degree heat. But a huge blast.
One quote in the article says it may have been equivalent to 1 to 2 kilotons.Last edited by oxmixmudd; 08-05-2020, 05:37 PM.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
