When I was in Iraq the company I was attached to was guarding a ammo depot called "Arlington" in which they where desposing of Iraq's weapons.The biggest detonation when I was there was 250 tons,from 3/4 miles away the shockwave blew you to the ground.Found this vid from the "Arlington" in which they blew up 429 tons and was taken from over 2 miles away,the big bang is towards the end.

I got to see that often in Balad but not to that magnitude. If you weren't aware of them doing it, you shat your pants thinking we were under attack.

Men just love to blow things up. And thinking of blowing things up, i saw a video on youtube (somewhere) A couple of soldiers were covertly observing 4 terrorists digging a hole and planting a roadside bomb. One of the nutjob terrorists accidently set off the bomb blowing only themselves to kingdom come.
