This is a picture of what can only be the cloud of smoke from the recent explosion in Hertfordshire earlier today.
The photo was taken on the Liverpool-Euston train line west of Hemel Hemstead. The photo doesn't make it clear, but that is a fair way away and very very big.
Old Hurricane Deck Bridge Demolition
December 6, 2013
CONTRACTOR FACTS:
•The prime contractor on the $32 million Hurricane Deck Bridge replacement project is American Bridge Company, Inc.
•The blasting subcontractor is Duane Houkom, Inc.
BRIDGE BLAST FACTS:
•The old Hurricane Deck Bridge, spanning the Lake of the Ozarks near Sunrise Beach, Mo., is eight spans long. Three spans are concrete girders and five spans are steel truss girders. Only the steel truss spans will be removed by blasting.
•The steel truss spans will be removed in three blasts on three separate dates. The first blast will take place on Dec. 6. The second blast will be scheduled two weeks after the first blast, and the third blast will take place approximately two weeks after the second blast, weather permitting.
•The first blast will remove the north steel truss span. The second blast will remove the south steel truss span. The third blast will remove the center steel truss span.
•The total length of the truss spans to be blasted is 2,180 feet.
oFirst blast = about 740 feet
oSecond blast = about 740 feet
oThird blast = about 700 feet
•The blasting subcontractor is using a total of 111.72 pounds of explosives for all three blasts.
oFirst blast = 31.16 pounds of explosives
oSecond blast = 33.44 pounds of explosives
oThird blast = 47.12 pounds of explosives.
•Explosives used in the blasts are linear shaped charges specifically designed to cut steel.
•For the first blast, the detonating velocity is about 27,000 feet per second. The whole shot, from the push of the plunger to the detonation of the last charge, will take place in thirty-two thousandths of a second.
•The decibel level for each of the three blasts will be anywhere from 130-140 decibels. This is roughly equal to the sound of a 200-piece marching band or a military-grade aircraft takeoff.
•Approximately 3.26 million pounds of steel will be dropped into the lake during the three blasts. About 1 million pounds of steel will drop into the lake from blasts one and two. Approximately 1.28 million pounds of steel will drop into the lake from the third blast.
•The three blasts will slice the bridge into 38 pieces. The pieces, which will be 23 feet wide, will range in length from 28 feet long to 59 feet long.
•The steel will be taken from the water by crane and lifted onto a barge. It will take about one to two weeks to fish the steel out of the lake for each span blasted. The steel will be salvaged and recycled.
Totals from all three blasts are:
•Total length of truss spans dropped = 2180 feet
•Total pounds of steel = 3.26 million
•Total pounds of explosives used = 111.72 pounds

Aerial views of the neighborhood surrounding a Texas fertilizer plant that erupted in a thunderous explosion is gone as visible April 19, 2013, two days after the blast. McLennan County Sheriff said the area surrounding the destroyed fertilizer plant is a highly populated neighborhood. He described it as "devastated" and "still very volatile." Ammonium nitrate - commonly used as fertilizer - was found at the scene, but he didn't know if any of the chemical remained. Photo by Ron Heflin/Greenpeace

I have decided to shorten the end of these series of Fireworks Shots to Saturday (September 8), so to load three to the time.
Have you ever had a pyrex bowl full of blueberries explode in your refrigerator? Me neither. Glad it wasn't in my hand or my face.

Survivng roof tile from the Hiroshima atom bomb explosion - this is from America's atom bomb which was dropped on Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945 during WW- II, supposedly in retaliation to Japan's bombing of Pearl Harbour. Well, America has the fire power and loves to flaunt it every now and then- often by creating unnecessary wars just to keep it's military hardware industry running- but wiping out an entire town and most of it's innocent civilians, many of them women and children is an unjustified act of pure intimidation in my book. Oh well, that's history now, and the ironically, despite being the only country in the history of the world to have used atom bombs, the US now preaches to the world about the danger of nuclear weapons going into the wrong hands. There was much information on the A4 sized computer printouts placed on the sidewalk inside the Peace Memorial Park, but there was a crowd of horrified visitors crowding around them and reading these prints would have meant kneeling down or crouching on the ground for an extended period, so I had to give them a miss unfortunately. These printouts are not part of the museum displays, there was an old gentleman sitting nearby with a bicycle bearing several more of these signs. He was an atom bomb survivor- these survivors were called hibakusha. I did not meet him as there was a large group around him. More on the hibakusha later- in a subsequent caption.

A homegrown terrorist set off the explosion that ripped open buildings in the heart of Norway's government, then went to a summer camp dressed as a police officer and gunned down youths as they ran and even swam for their lives, police said Friday.
