The biggest Explosion Ever Happened


Here's the list:
 


No. 10:

 
A fire in the cargo ship SS Grandcamp which was docked in texas city in 1947 sparked amoniu 2,300 tons of nitrate, a mixture that is used for fertilizing and high explosive. The explosion of removing the 2 aircraft that was passing around him and trigger a chain reaction that triggers the explosion of a cargo ship that also carries other 1,000 tons of ammonium nitrate. The disaster killed more configurable than 600 people and injuring 3,500 others, and is generally considered the worst industrial disasters in U.S. history

No. 9:


 
In 1917, a French cargo ship, which is full of explosives for World War I, accidentally collided with a Belgian-flagged ship in the port of Halifax, Canada. This causes an explosion with a far greater impact than peladak ever made by humans before, equivalent to 3 kilo tonnes of TNT. Spreading white powder until 6.100m above the city and causing tsunami with a wave height equal to 18 m, up to 2 Km radius around the center of the explosion. It was total devastation, and claimed 2000 lives and 9000 were injured. It was the worst accident in the world tetao be caused by man-made explosives.

No. 8:

 
In 1986, a nuclear reactor exploded in Chernobly in ukraine, it was the worst nuclear accident in The History of the explosion threw rector weighing 2000 tons and 400 times the levels radioaktive spread than the Hiroshima bomb, contaminating more than 200,000 km2 Europe, 600,000 people were exposed to high doses of radiation , and more than 350,000 people have been evacuated from the contaminated.

No. 7:


The first atomic bomb in history, in the blast at the Trinity site, near Alamogordo, NM in 1945, set off premises power almost 20kilo tons of TNT, scientists J. Robert Oppenheimer later said, when he is watching the testing, he thought of a passage from the manuscript Bhagavas Hindu Gita: "I will become Death, destroyer of the world", then nuclear weapons and end the Second World War led to fears of nuclear destruction weapons until decades later. Scientists later discovered that the communities in New Mexico may be exposed to nuclear radiation thousands of times the normal limit that can be tolerated by the body.

No. 6:


A mysterious explosion dean Podkamennaya Tunguska River in 1908 flattened an area of ​​2000km2 of Siberian forest (almost the area of ​​the city of Tokyo). Researchers think that the explosion disebankan by asteroids or comets might diameter of 20m and weighing 185,000 metric tons (7 times the weight of the titanic). The blast, which produced nearly as strong as four megatons of TNT (250 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb)

No. 5:

 
In 1815, Mount Tambora in Indonesia exploded with strength of nearly 1000 mega tons of TNT, a volcanic eruption in recorded history terdahsyat. The explosion threw 140 billion tons of magma and not only killed 71,000 people on the island of Sumbawa (Near Lombok) but volcanic ash thrown causing global climate anomalies, in the next year (1816), diknal as the year without summer, snow fell in the month of June in Albany NY, glaciers can be found in July in Pennsylvania, and hundreds of thousands of people suffering from hunger globally

No. 4:

  
Dinosaurs era ended in disaster, nearly 65 million years ago, which killed nearly half of all species on the planet, although researchers suggest that the planet is on the brink of environmental kehacuran before collision Cretaceous-Tertiary (meteorites), where crater measuring 180 miles in chixulub in Mexico is probably the location of the collision.

No.3 :


Comet Shoemaker-Levy9 collided spectacularly with Jupiter in 1994, the giant planet's gravitational pull comet is a comet that broke up dab an area of ​​3km, and they are pierced with a speed of 60 km / sec result in 21 collisions are visible. Biggest impact caused a fireball to as high as 3000 km above the Jovian clouds and cause dark spots with 12.000km2 diameter (about the size of Earth) and is expected to explode with the power of 6,000 Giga Tons of TNT.

No.2 :

  
Supernovae are exploding stars that often "illuminates" the whole galaxy. The brightest supernova ever recorded in history is seen in the constellation Lupus (laitn language for wolf) in the spring of 1006. Extraordinary explosion of golden, now known as SN 1006 occurred in nearly 7,100 light-years away, and bright enough to cause a shadow at night, and read at night, and still looks up to many months at noon.

No.1 :


Gamma rays are the most powerful ever known in the universe. Rays emanating from a very remote area, but visible, is GRB 090423, to reach the "world" of our 13 billion light years distant!!!! of the earth. The explosion, which only recorded less than 1 second, releasing energy more than 100 times the energy given off by the sun during the 10 billion years of the solar age. It seems to come from a dying star that 30 to 100 times the amount of the sun.
