10.The Texas City Disaster.
Fire SS. Grand camp cargo ship docked in Texas during 1947, 2300 blew Ton Ammonium nitrate is a compound used in fertilizer and high explosives. The explosion flung even two aircraft in flight and trigger a chain reaction to blow up oil refineries and other cargo ships carrying around 1,000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate. The disaster killed about 600 people and wounded about 3,500, and is generally regarded as the worst industrial accident in U.S. history.
9. The Halifax Explosion
In 1917, a French cargo ship loaded with explosives for World War I collided with a Belgian ship in the port of Halifax, Canada. It sheep exploded with a force more than human-made bomb blast before it, which is equivalent to about 3 kilotons of TNT . The explosion made of white smoke billowing as high as 20,000 feet (6100 meters) above the city and triggering tsunami reached as high as 60 feet (18 meters). During the nearly 1.2 miles (2 km) which surrounds the center of the explosion, destruction, and about 2,000 people were killed and 9000 wounded. Waves shattered glass caused an explosion that reverberated in the surrounding cities have been blinded thousands, even tens anchor was thrown twenty miles from the place originally.
8. Chernobyl,
In 1986, a nuclear reactor in Chernobyl Ukraine (Soviet Union) exploded. It was the worst nuclear accident in history. The explosion, which threw 2,000 ton reactor lid, send 400 times more radioactive effects of the Hiroshima atomic bomb, contaminating more than 77,000 square miles (200,000 square km) in Europe. Approximately 600,000 people are exposed to high doses of radiation, and more than 350,000 people to be evacuated from contaminated areas.
7. The Trinity Blast
The first atomic bomb in history, dubbed "the gadget," was detonated at Trinity Site near Alamogordo, NM, in 1945, exploded with a force of about 20 kilotons of TNT. Nuclear weapons and then ended the era of World War II and ushered in decades of fear of nuclear destruction (Hiroshima Nagasaki bombing). Scientists recently discovered that civilians in New Mexico has affected thousands of times more radiation than the recommended limits.
6. Tunguska
Podkamennaya mysterious explosion near the Tunguska River in 1908 which makes an average of around 500,000 hectares (2,000 square kilometers) of forests of Siberia, an area nearly the size of Tokyo. Scientists think that the explosion was caused by a cosmic impact from an asteroid or comet probably 65 meters (20 feet) with a diameter of 185,000 metric tons in mass - more than seven times that of the Titanic. The resulting explosion could have been as strong as four megatons of TNT - or 250 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
5. Mount Tambora
In 1815, Mount Tambora in Indonesia exploded with a force of about 1,000 megatons of TNT, the biggest volcanic eruption recorded in history. The blast threw out about 140 billion tons of magma, and not only killed more than 71,000 people on Sumbawa and Lombok island nearby, but the ashes were reportedly creating a global climate change. The following year, 1816, became known as the Year Without a Summer, snow fell in June in Albany, NY, river ice seen in July in Pennsylvania, and hundreds of thousands of people dying of hunger around the world
4.The K-T Extinction Impact Event
The end of the dinosaur era, ending with a predicted disaster occurred 65 million years ago and killed roughly half of all species on this planet. Although research shows the planet is on the brink of environmental crisis before the Cretaceous-Tertiary or KT extinction, according to some researchers raises the possibility of cosmic collision site-wide crater 110 miles or 180 km Chicxulub, the territory of Mexico.
3. Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9
Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter collided spectacularly in 1994. Gravitational pull of the giant planet comet tore into separate fragments up to to 1.8 miles (3 km) wide, and and struck the comet is moving at a speed of 37 miles (60 km) per second. Largest collision created a fireball that rose about 1,800 miles (3,000 km) above the Jovian cloudtops and create total darkness in more than 7460 miles (12,000 km) the size of Earth - and is expected to have explosive power with the power of 6000 gigatons of TNT.
2. Shadow-casting Supernova
Supernova is a cluster of stars that often exploded, and caused the bright light of all the galaxies that exist. The brightest supernova recorded in history was visible in the constellation Lupus (Latin term for wolf) in the spring of 1006. Extraordinary explosion of gold that is now known as SN 1006 was about 7100 light years, very bright enough to bring and write at night even remain visible for months at a time during the day.
1. The Farthest Recorded Explosion
Gamma rays are the most powerful ever known in the universe. Rays emanating from a very remote area but it appears, is GRB 090423, to reach "world" we are at a distance 13 billion light years! from the earth. The blast, which only recorded less than 1 second, releasing energy more than 100 times the energy released by the sun for 10 M. And the theory of states of the Big Bang is the solar system and universe is created.
That's 10 lists explosion explosion ever recorded, there were two large explosions that at first I did not think entry list, which eruption of Krakatoa (Krakatoa) and the Hiroshima atomic bomb. can be imagined if the explosion is very great and awesome above. when referring to the loss of life, then it takes death toll of Hiroshima Nagasaki greater because the drop just above the densely populated settlements. Explosion had also tested it in an experiment like Upshot-Knothole operation
"conducted at the Nevada Proving Ground between March 17 and June 4, 1953, Beru type bomb test that uses the theory of fission and fusion. Houses in the picture is located 3500 feet from the center of the explosion, the camera itself is protected thick layer of 2 inches, it only takes 2.6 seconds from the initial bomb explosion destroy to destroy the house"
