Boom
Better late then never right? I saw a EMRTC demonstration earlier this year (blow stuff up) Here are a couple of pictures from it. They showed as several different sizes of explosions. To bad I wasn't able to get a picture of the explosives before they set them off.
The fist one they showed us was a letter sized sheet of C1 (if i remember right) It was cut in the shape of a letter, and fit inside the envilope like a piece of thick paper. That is a picture of the wood table to letter was sitting on.
As you can see there is a letter sized hole in the table (and it blew out the sandbag) The corn missing is where the guy doing the demonstration cut off the corner to make sure the fuse had a good contact.
This is a picture of the table that had a 11 x 8 sheet of explosive in a manila envelope inside of a briefcase. It did a number on the table
The grand finale was a car bomb. Using 100 lbs of fertilizer and nitrogen, they blew up a little red (probably hail damaged) car. In the upper right of this picture you can see what is left of the car. It was totally destroyed and the remains (probably the engine) were thrown a good 100 feet. It was very impressive. I have a video of it, but need to figure out how to get screen captures or something so i can post the images.

Explosives can be impressive!
That is some crazy stuff. I like the Mythbusters where they blew up a cement truck.
Very, very cool stuff. Has Mike sent you a copy of his explosion vid? It's pretty darn awesome. Super-dee-duper-slow-motion lets you see the shockwaves and everything.
No he hasn't sent me that vid. I will have to bug him about it.
