Just seen this on youtube about a supposed rocket fuel depot in the US that caught fire and went bang. Watch the video and you can see the shockwave from the second explosion !!

Have a look at this video, 2 mins 27 secs in and see how the building gets flattened !!

Our own home-grown one here: RAF Fauld Explosion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nowhere near the casualties of Halifax, but possibly a bigger bang.

Saw one of those "Worlds Biggest Explosion!" type programs on Bravo/Reality TV or some such channel and the final one was Pepcon, absolutely gobsmaking explosion. When you see the shockwave travelling across the desert, and shaking the camera

I was also quite a few miles away from the IRA bomb that devastated Manchester and that also made me jump
