[ViviTheMage]

I am glad they tape this stuff, haha...what was the point though...waste of resources.

 

[Freshgeardude]

damn! thats crazy

They say that the best weapon is the one you never have to fire. I respectfully disagree. I prefer the weapon you only have to fire once. That's how Dad did it, that's how America does it... and it's worked out pretty well so far.

 

[irishScott]

Heheh.

My guess is that they were captured explosives, not ours.

I used to live across the bay from the Naval Air Station in Corpus Christi, TX. During the three years or so that I lived there they exploded ordinance a couple of times (I don't know why). I don't think I've ever felt that kind of deep deep bass rumble in my life.

I can't imagine what 429 tons worth of that would feel like.

Yup, they blow up captured ordinance. I was on a tiny base in the middle of nowhere Afghanistan where regular rules didn't necessarily apply. The special forces about 1000 feet away from us use to blow up shit all the time. Obviously to a much smaller scale, but it used to scare the crap out of everyone lol.

 

[ViviTheMage]

That makes sense tallbill.

 

[Aharami]

you can see the shockwave coming in the third one

 

[TheVrolok]

Great video. Looks like fun.

I noticed that as well. That's just insane.

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

Haha, I love how the army/marines/spec ops tapes their demolitions fun.

 

[Genx87]

I love their laughter.

why does this kind of thing make a person feel the way it does? why is it so exciting and cool?

Confiscated munitions. Better them blown up in a field than in a market in Iraq.

It's easy to discredit the amusement factor of this until you see it for yourself. I guarantee you will sound like a slack-jawed idiot as well

I used to go to Picatinny arsenal in NJ and I have to admit, it's fun watching shit blow up on a big scale (I have never seen anything even close to this). Then I am depressed at how much money and manpower went into vaporizing those resources. I wonder how much human resources went into that 429 ton explosion.

im not trying to discredit anything. i probably sound like a slack-jawed idiot just watching this stuff on a computer screen. i want to know why explosions make people feel this way.

 

[dsity]

well, I know that when I explode. I feel pretty good too

 

[MrPickins]

Big bada-boom!

If you're a chick, I would understand your lack of understanding. Basically, loud noises accompanied by destruction is fun. I think it's fueled by some subconscious desire for chaos in the order called society.
