Some pictures after the event:

Even a metal grating was bent through the explosion.

Some shops burnt down, many windows smashed. Experts for buildings now examine the houses in terms of stability before their inhabitants can return to their homes.

I just wonder why they did not use water soaked hay.

Video of explosion is in the following link.

Interesting points:

The short dry sound and the time delay.

EDIT: For interested parties: It was a 250 kg bomb with retarded delay fuse conceived to explode several hours after impact in order to interrupt the work of firefighters and rescue workers. Their fuse was constructed in a way to prevent disarming it.
you said the word retarded....see this thread please http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=34020

Uhm, I applied this to a thing, not a human being. I hope the fuse does not feel offended ...

No your fine, you used the correct terminology.

That is very interesting. How far did they move before they blew it up? There must be so many more like this scattered around.

Why would you bother blowing the thing up? They should have just used a "Safety Bucket(TM)" like they do in PNG!



Apparently it renders them perfectly safe!
