Rings around the fireball may become stable, becoming rings around the rising stem. Higher-yield explosions cause intense updrafts , where air speeds can reach 300 miles per hour (480 km/h). The entrainment of higher-humidity air, combined with the associated drop in pressure and temperature, leads to the formation of skirts and bells around ...
Hector repeatedly rings his bell, detonating Walt's bomb, which is hidden underneath his wheelchair. Gus panics and tries to escape the room, but is too late; the explosion kills Hector and Tyrus, and Gus walks out of the room with his face half blown off before collapsing dead on the floor.
