7 big explosion in the world














1. A fire in the cargo ship SS Grandcamp which was docked at Texas City in 1947 sparked amoniu 2300 tons of nitrate, a mixture that is used for fertilizer and high explosive. The explosion destroy two aircraft that were passing around it and trigger a chain reaction that triggers the explosion of a cargo ship that also carry 1000 tons of ammonium nitrate. This disaster killed take more than 600 people and injured 3500 others, and is generally categorized bancana industry's worst in U.S. history


2. In 1917, a French cargo ship, which is full of explosives for World War I, inadvertently collided with the Belgium-flagged ship in the port of Halifax, Canada. This causes an explosion with a far greater impact than explosives ever made by humans before, equivalent to 3 kilo tons of TNT. Spreading the white powder up to 6.100m above the town and causing tsunami with a wave height equal to 18 m, up to a radius of 2 km around the center of the explosion. That is total destruction, and claimed 2000 lives and 9000 wounded. That tetao become the world's worst accidents caused by human-made explosives.


3. In 1986, a nuclear reactor exploded in Ukraine Chernobly, it was the worst nuclear accident in sejaran, the blast threw rector weighing 2000 tonnes and 400 times the levels of radioactive deploy than the Hiroshima bomb, contaminating more than 200,000 km2 of Europe, 600,000 people exposed to high doses of radiation , and more than 350,000 people were evacuated from the contaminated.\















4. The first atomic bomb in history, at the blow up at Trinity site, near Alamogordo, NM in 1945, strength premises detonates almost 20kilo tons of TNT, scientists J. Robert Oppenheimer later said, when he supervised the test, he thought of a passage from the manuscript Bhagavas Hindu Gita: I will become Death, the destroyer world, Nuclear weapons and an end to World War II and led to fears of nuclear weapons until decades later. Scientists later discovered that the Community Sector in New Mexico may be exposed to nuclear radiation thousands of times the normal limit that can still be tolerated by the body.















5. A mysterious explosion dean Podkamennaya Tunguska river in 1908 flattened an area of ​​2000km2 of Siberian forests (almost covering the city of Tokyo). Researchers think that the explosion by an asteroid or comet disseminated possible diameter of 20m and weighing 185,000 metric tons (7 times the weight of titanic). The explosion that produced nearly as strong as 4 mega tons of TNT (250 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb)












6. In 1815, Mount Tambora in Indonesia exploded with a force of nearly 1000 mega tons of TNT, an explosive volcano terrible's recorded in history. The explosion threw 140 billion tonnes of magma, and not only kill 71,000 people on the island of Sumbawa (Near Lombok), but volcanic ash thrown causing global climate anomalies, in the next year (1816), diknal as the year without a summer, snow fell in the month of June in Albany NY, river ice can be found in July in Pennsylvania, and hundreds of thousands of hungry people globally














7. Dinosaurs era ended in disaster, nearly 65 million years ago, which killed nearly half of all species on this planet, although the researchers suggest that the planet on the brink of environmental kehacuran before the collision the Cretaceous-Tertiary (meteorite), where the crater covering an area of ​​180 kilometers in chixulub in Mexico is probably the location of the collision.
