I mentioned this on Facebook, but would anyone have a guess on how many decibels the explosion might have caused?

Lots of exploding in the news recently, both accidental and not.
I wish all who are affected the best possible luck.

A jet engine at 100 feet is 140 dB, so probably around 140-170

I'm going to guess 210 based on this. Although it seems relative to how close you are. So I'm going by that video from what seemed like a half a mile.

66 years ago this week, a blast very similar to the one in West happened much closer to home - in Texas City. That catastrophe left 500 people dead.

So yeah. Ammonium nitrate goes boom above 240 degrees Celsius. That, and it's also the main component of the commercial explosive known as anfo.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_nitrate Explains a lot, doesn't it? |
