Spotted in a link over at small dead animals, the video below demonstrates nicely what happens when a wooden building is accosted with 50kg of dynamite :

I think they will be gathering the firewood from that blast for quite a few years and, from a scientific point of view, nice to hear the delay between the initiating charge and the main load.

Being a youtube video, the comments are amusing :

You NEVER run away from a lit fuse. Walk with a purpose, yes. Run? Never.

“Walk with a purpose” has to be quote of the week.

Personally, I would have used more explosives, a longer fuse and more cameras 🙂
