Tell me please about the after shock wave that roared by the person filming this.....just the sound of the blast got him running for cover behind the pillar...but the wave seemed to throw him way off balance...and how far away is that actually heard?

Several writers have said that the bomb’s explosive radius is from 1.0 to 1.6 miles in total radius.

However, shock waves can travel much further. I felt the shock wave when the hijacked plane on 9/11 hit the Pentagon and I was miles away from it.

Explosions from ammo plants, fireworks plants (I remember one blowing up in 1956 or 1957 that heard it from over 30 miles away), gas facility explosions, etc. can carry dozens of miles.

It’s all about pressure shock waves.
