Impressive. I bet the locals will be living on dead fish for weeks after that.
Lots of chat amongst my EOD friends on this, it will be interesting to see how big the crater is, and what damage was caused to the nearby structures
At least no one was hurt.

I heard about it on the radio news. It is good that precautions were taken so that nobody was hurt. I wonder whether there are any more of them.
That's a big bomb:dazed:
geeze! that video gives me flashbacks to origins 2018!!!!!:crash::crashB:
Super water spout!
Why not just give it to a cow?

it go boom !! would have been really cool to watch
I will try to link you to the boom moment filmed, chaps:).
Oh good. so they did burn off some of the explosive. The news reports I read hadn't said they did, though they did say that was the plan.Quote:

That's what they were trying to do when it went off Karl, according to the BBC link above.Quote:
