The 1951 Shot Uncle of Operation Buster-Jangle, had a yield about a tenth of the 13 to 16 Kt Hiroshima bomb, 1.2 Kt, [193] and was detonated 5.2 m (17 ft) beneath ground level. [194] No thermal flash of heat energy was emitted to the surroundings in this shallow buried test. [193] The explosion resulted in a cloud that rose to 3.5 km (11,500 ft ...
In Utah, simple possession of a dry ice bomb or similar pressurized chemical reaction bomb is a second-degree felony. [16] In Colorado, the creation of a dry ice bomb is considered illegal due to interpretation as "possession of an explosive device" [citation needed] Leaving an unexploded dry ice bomb can be construed as public endangerment.
19-pound (8.6 kg) Flashbombs are loaded into a photo-reconnaissance De Havilland Mosquito at Melsbroek, Belgium. c.1944 A photoflash bomb detonates over La Spezia during an air-raid on the night of 13-14 April 1943. It has illuminated the town's dockyard and a berthed battleship (marked with an 'A').
A dangerous weather phenomenon called a bomb cyclone that occurs in mid-latitudes - between Earth's tropics and the polar regions - can bring strong and damaging winds, torrential rains, heavy ...
The bomb fell on the bomb-bay doors, smashing them open and going into a 15,000 feet (4,572 m) free fall. The high-explosive detonator went off after it hit the ground 6.5 miles east of Florence, South Carolina, in Mars Bluff, creating a 70 feet (21 m) wide crater, 30 feet (9 m) deep. [41] A nearby house was destroyed and several people were ...
Explosive cyclogenesis (also referred to as a weather bomb, [1] [2] [3] meteorological bomb, [4] explosive development, [1] bomb cyclone, [5] [6] or bombogenesis [7] [8] [9]) is the rapid deepening of an extratropical cyclonic low-pressure area. The change in pressure needed to classify something as explosive cyclogenesis is latitude dependent ...
The word "bombogenesis" is a combination of "cyclogenesis," which describes the formation of a cyclone or storm, and "bomb" for its explosiveness. "This can happen when a cold air mass collides ...
When the winds come together to create a swirling vortex over a covering of snow, it picks the flakes up off the ground, creating a whirling column of the cold stuff.
