The plot thickens.

It will be interesting whether in coming months there is a reduction in the number of rockets being fired into Israel...

“Ground interaction effects tend to degrade a shockwave in the near space to a contact detonation, lessening the overpressure damage very close in to the explosion.”

This is maybe why those silos are still standing? Shockwave bounced off the ground and glanced off silos at a shallow angle? Still hard to believe.

The grain in the silo absorbed most of the blast before the near side silo collapsed. Think falling into a bean bag chair.

Interesting, it was surmised that the soot from the fire was the fuel for the oxidizer. I stand corrected. Heating the ammonium nitrate was not covered in my explosive training.

Worked with ANFO before.

I withdraw my comment about the concrete truck.

Jesus the Nazarene the Messiah is the Creator of the universe and the Savior who paid for the penalty of the sin of rebellious humans.

Please don’t misuse his name.

Well God bless you. ....I guess you didn't like my other reply. hahahaha.
