Ka-blam

On a low note for the day I was forced to go watch a destruct shot of about 600lbs of high explosives. Ha, just kidding, it was totally the high light of the day, and I totally volunteered!

We were positioned about a mile away from the site at a vantage point known for observing shots at the site. I always get a kick out of it when I get to experience light travel faster than sound and this was no exception. The booming sound and wind from the shock wave arrived a few seconds behind the first sight of the flash/smoke/dust created by the blast. It really is an awesome (and deafening) experience.
