Re: Largest non-nuclear explosion

That was actually the largest non-nuclear explosion in peacetime. I believe the largest non-nuclear explosion was during WWI in Halifax under very different circumstances: the Halifax explosion[wikipedia].

Re: Largest non-nuclear explosion

It seems us Canadians have a knack for blowing crap up without using nukes...

I second the Halifax explosion, that was crazy.

Yes, you're right, that's very interesting.

And even more interesting that they both occurred in Canada...
