Let's Blast! - Industrial Explosives During Blasting

Are civil and military explosives the same? In other words, are we using the same explosives in mining and warfare? Well, yes and no. From the ninth century AD (though the historians are still uncertain about the exact date of its invention) to the mid-1800's, black powder was the only explosive available. A single type of explosives was therefore used as a propellant for guns and for blasting purpose in any military, mining and civil engineering application.
The Industrial Revolution carried new discoveries in explosives and initiation technologies. A specialization principle, therefore, operates between military and civil application of explosives thanks to new products economics, versatility, strength, precision or capability to be stored for long periods of time without significant deterioration. www.thebalance.com
The following factors shall be considered to determine the blast area:
• Geology or material to be blasted,
• Blast pattern,
• Burden, depth, diameter, and angle of the holes,
• Blasting experience of the mine,
• Delay systems, powder factor, and pounds per delay,
• Type and amount of explosive material, and
• Type and amount of stemming.

[@TheSherlockk]

I think this wasn't a mining operation like the others, but rather looks like land slide protection. Probably had to be done rather quickly, with limited time for planning, to save roads or buildings underneath.

[@AnthonyTrifoglio]

That white hazy Shockwave is called overpressure, if you were standing in a place where that overpressure passed, you'd die

[@lomax6620]

I bet that crow didnt think it was so cool..lol Im surprised he lived.

[@babaaaax]

translation from Russian: And you saw how before the explosion the bird flew, after the explosion, the direction changed, probably cantuzhny

@@AnthonyTrifoglio That white haze is a condensation cloud or a wilson cloud that appears when explosions happen in humid air. Still, it can be lethal standing there.

0:16 that was the most anime/movie "bombardment scene" I've ever witnessed in real life. Aggressive, straight lined, fast approaching yet somehow slow at the same time, and powerful. The best I can compare it to is the blasts of billowing smoke from an old steam freight train barrelling towards you. It's not fast but it's fast enough that you can't get out of the way and there is _nothing_ that can stop the mass behind it.

Coming from a geology major, this isn't hurting anything. Well not anything living. Occasionally you may create some accidental instability but other than that this is normal. It actually helps rock hounds and geologists alike because it removes weathering from the rock and roadsides are considered public land.

[@AceSeptre]

There is a few frames at 0:19 where you can see something green in color getting absolutely ejected from one of the explosion jets. I wish I knew the scale so I could calculate how fast it was moving because whatever it was is only visible for a couple of frames and then it's completely gone. It could be simply a jet of water given the color, but whatever it is, it's got some speed on it.

[@liamforde4137]

Damn good eye.. I wonder if that's fuel shot out of the hole or just a camera issue?

[@nickygee5611]

@@liamforde4137 A camera issue or compression artifact was my first thought as well, but I don't see any other artifacting in the clip, and you can follow it from the bottom of the frame to the top so it's not shutter related. Whatever it is, I think it's really there. I would be willing to be it is moving at supersonic speeds as well.

[@jay1jayf]

@@nickygee5611 You can literally see the same green effect below the explosion in the foreground, lol. It's a camera effect.
