10 worst explosion in the history of mankind

Any action films always have some fantastic explosions. However, in reality there are many different types of explosives and among them there are those kinds of "terrorist" than what we usually see in the film a lot. Here is a list of the types of heavy explosives ever was created.

10 terror blast that changed history

10. FOAB

Level: One of the biggest explosions generated by conventional weapons

FOAB (Father of all Bombs) is a kind of Russian tactical weapons designed to explode right in the air and creates a shock wave strong enough to turn everything into dust against targets below. This bomb is made ​​from 44 tons of TNT, making it known as a nuclear weapon but the least terrible powerful ever created. However, FOAB not create fallout as nuclear weapons, FOAB used in the arms race between the US and Russia. In 2003, the US has developed MOAB (Massive Ordinance Air Blast Bomb) is formed by 11 tons of TNT.MOAB was quickly known as the "Mother of all Bombs " to better fit with its abbreviated name. In response to this, Russia has developed bombs "Mother of all Bombs" in 2007 with pride that this new bomb explosion to 4 times bigger than MOAB lighter still when compared in terms of weight. However, the US Defense Department is still doubt about the rumors from Russia, the United States is very likely that the information from the Russians is tampered with and just a few features of this bomb is exaggerated for the purpose of propaganda.

9. Bomb fish scales

Level: homemade bombs largest type standard

Fish scales bombs is a test organized by the US on 06/27/1985. Center for Prevention of the US missile detonated 5,000 tons of ammonium nitrate salt to be able to simulate a nuclear bomb explosion. The main purpose of this is to find out whether the small nuclear weapon could affect military hardware or not. As shown in the photo, F-4 Phantom was seen at the start of the explosion. Another interesting fact: Is this bomb is the biggest bomb not standard is still a controversial issue. Heligoland containing 6,700 tons of explosives in an armory was the British Royal Fleet detonated after the end of the First World War 2. According to the Guinness recognition, explosives Heligoland bring greater consequences scales of Bom fish.

8. Tunguska Event

Level: the biggest shocks in the history

30/06/1908, a large amount of explosives Podkamennaya Tunguska River in Russia has created a payload of up to 10-15 million tons of TNT, or about 1000 times the mass of the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima, Japan . While there are many assumptions being made ​​about the amount of explosives detonated, but the majority of scientists believe that the explosion occurred because the meteorites caught in mid-air explosion. Although the meteor exploding in the air is also regarded as an explosive impact on the huge pile. The explosion is thought to occur in the air because no debris was found. However, one thing is clear that people can easily be seen as an area of approximately 2,150 km ²including the trees had been blown from the blast center.

7. Bom tsars

Level: homemade bombs largest type

Tsar bomb is a hydrogen bomb developed by the Soviet Union and the experiments on 10/30/1961. With devastating about 57 million tons of TNT, it is known as the largest homemade bombs ever. According to the original plan to bomb would have devastating some 100 million tons of TNT but the dust from the explosion would be an extremely difficult problem. Although the Tsar bomb detonated in a place far away, Novaya Zemlya archipelago in the north of Russia, but the damage it caused is still influenced in no small part to the major cities of Russia. A village 55km from places try to be influenced extremely heavy. These losses also spread to Norway and Finland. The explosion created a cloud of smoke 64km high and its aftershocks are still left to be found in the atmosphere of the Earth 3.

6. The Tambora volcano eruption

Type: Explosions rocked the largest ever recorded

Date 05/04/1815, Mount Tambora eruption in Indonesia Sambawa make up one of the most shocking explosion of human history. Tambora eruption is estimated to have devastating some 800 million tons of TNT, 14 times stronger than the bomb Tsar. The eruption could be heard from the bottom of Sumatra, erupted distant locations around 2.600km. Before the eruption, Mount Tambora has a height of about 4,3km but then its height to about 2,85km. Create a column of volcanic dust and distributes high as 43km into the atmosphere dust surrounded hemisphere. The dust had covered the sun and make 1816 the year to become the No. 2 cold in history. Crop losses and chronic famine occurred throughout Europe and North America. An estimated 10,000 people died directly from the eruption, and about 70,000 people die from the consequences of climate that it leave.

5. The extinction at the Cretaceous Tuesday

Level: biggest blast the Earth's history

About 65 million years ago, an event known as the Cretaceous Tuesday has caused the extinction of many species, but the most common is the extinction of the dinosaurs. Many scientists believe that this happened because of a concussion from a small planet celestial created Chicxulub hit Earth, is found in the Yucatan Peninsula coast. It is estimated that of the comparable explosion equivalent to 96 billion tons of TNT, or about 1.7 million Tsar bomb. This is enough to do for earthquakes is one of the biggest explosions ever happened on Earth that have sufficient evidence to prove biogeography.

GRB 080319B 4

Level: The explosion was the largest ever direct witnesses

Gamma-ray bursts of known as the horrific explosions in the universe. But the direct cause explosion Gamma rays have not been completely explained, although most astronomers believe that they are related to the meteor extremely large size. Gamma ray bursts lasted for about 20-40 seconds and Gamma beam radiates into a narrow effect. Gamma ray bursts are extremely rare, every explosion happened just once after hundreds of millions of years in each galaxy.19/3/2008, a gamma-ray burst is known as GRB 080319B place names and can see with the naked eye for about 30 seconds. The explosion occurred 7.5 million years from Earth light making it the most distant explosions could see with the naked eye. Devastating explosions equivalent 2A - 1034 tons of TNT, or about 10,000 times the mass of TNT had been detonated by the Sun at the same time.

3. SN2006gy

Level: the largest meteor ever known

Dated 09.16.2006, the largest meteor once known by the name SN2006gy was detected. A meteor, super-sized meteor enormous as one of the most devastating events in the universe and is believed that this is the origin of gamma-ray bursts.SN2006gy occurs at a distance of 230 million light years from Earth as the star size 150 times larger than the Sun itself destroyed. The volume of energy generated from this tape superstar estimated equivalent 2.5A-1035 tons of TNT, or equivalent to the amount of energy generated from all of the Virgo constellation in a minute. However, because the band superstars usually are made up of very big stars, usually the fuel after the constellation exploded next to continue biodegradable. Sometimes the biodegradable materials until disappearing completely. It means that this contract is made up of black holes are so many superstars tape.

GRB 080916C 2

Level: The second big bang universe

The universe is a very large, very large celestial bodies is difficult to explain and biggest blast, GRB 080916C is not an exception. GRB 080916C was a gamma-ray bursts were first recorded on 16/09/2008. The explosion occurred about 12.2 billion years Earth light and lasts about 23 minutes, can be considered a very long period of time for a gamma-ray bursts. In the 23 minute, the gamma-ray bursts produce a greater amount of energy generated energy from all the stars in the galactic strip. According to estimates, the explosion energy generated by a range of about 2 million tons of TNT, equivalent to 3 billion Tsar bomb per second continuous burst of 110 million years, or about 7,000 times the amount of solar energy generated in the process its existence.

1. Big Bang

Level: The most powerful blast, worst in the history of the universe

Big Bang really worthy leader in this ranking. However, basically, the Big Bang is not an explosion. An explosion occurs only when the physical element quickly move through space from a high pressure to a low pressure in a very extremely fast speed. In fact, because the universe remains constant swells, there is the theory that the Big Bang is still occurring. Another misconception about the Big Bang theory that it explains why the universe is formed or the material element and the first born of energy like. In contrast, only the Big Bang theory explains why our universe is expanding.
