Reminds me of the video that idiot took of the fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas a few years ago. He had his daughter in the car with him at the time.

Jeez it's like that video of that guy where he refuses to let his family run from an avalanche except it's real life instead of a movie.

Mindlessly wooping at a giant fireball, having the wherewithal to know his actions are loving stupid and dangerous but still doing them anyway because he's more bothered about KICKIN RAD FIREY EXPLOSIONS, that guy is peak American stereotype

In his defense, he might just be exaggerating the danger for his YouTube video, and only be right by accident.

I've done a couple years of industrial blasting at a copper mine, and those are very good prices. I'm happy with $0.25/ton, and that doesn't even include the $100-$300 cost per hole for the drilling. I only get about 3000 tons of broken rock per hole. They're talking 43 million tons. This would greatly benefit the economy and we should do it. :colbert:

Ok, so from what I could figure, with the largest bomb it comes out to around 14 cents per ton after inflation. Still one hell of a cost savings but not quite as dramatic as it looked originally.
