But seriously, wow. As the Christian kids say, god help zem.
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.
OH Nos the Muzlims are coming!!!
Hold on to your wallets.
any explosion that is... sizable will have the same characteristic look. The 'mushroom' cloud is formed by the pressure changes. In an explosion, there is a pressure wave moving out from the site of the explosion very quickly. Since the explosion wants to form a globe, if it is near the ground, the wave is stronger along the ground. The pressure wave decreases the air pressure along its path as it presses along. Eventually, it reaches equalibrium (it wears out), and the air pressure moves back in, to return the pressures to normal. As the pressure moves back in, it presses together tighter and tighter until it closes together over the site of the explosion, then any excess (along with smoke, dust and debris) spills up (remember the wave is stronger along the ground. That is the stem of the mushroom. As gets higher, the air, smoke and debris spill up over and billow out. That is the head of the mushroom. I have seen the same effect with 15 pounds of C4.Sydney wrote:

Isn't more that the factories and plant cause people to populate the area around it so they can be close to work?lxcpikiman wrote:
i was sleeping around 3:45 a.m. when i heard my mom and my dad talking about something that had just happened, cuz they fell that the whole building shook and they thought it was an earthquake so i thought it was unusual because i have never fell an earthquake here in Toronto, so i went back to sleep, after 5 minutes i fell the building shaking i was like WTF is going on? i looked out the window and saw the sky all yellow then i looked to one side and saw i big mashroom of fire, then i got up quickly and got changed, got a few important items and run outside with my family.
at first i thought we were getting bombed or something like that because explosions were going off like crazy so we ran further from the fire.
It was fucking horrible never fell or seen something like that, polices, fire trunks, ambulances all went to that area everyone was panicking because noone was sure of was it cause the explosions. we live no further than 2 kilometers from the explosion area.

they confirmed it was a propane depot, who in the right mind put a fucking propane facilities around a very populated area.
we're thankful that noone was found dead, several injured but no deaths
was it intentional?

Holy shit. Terrifying.
Why is the guy filming it so calm :\ When the major explosion went off it lit the whole place up, I'd literally be in china by the time it got half way up!
Same reason photographers were so calm during 9/11. They have to film stuff, otherwise they don't get any money.Bell wrote:

Anyone in North York feel anything? sources say its a propane depot.
An explosion at a propane depot in North Toronto heard as far as 7 kilometers (4.4 miles) away has forced the evacuation of an area a mile around the site of the accident, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported. At least two people have been injured as the explosion blew out windows of homes nearby and sent plumes of smoke hundreds of meters into the air, the CBC reported, citing local police.

I love the "Why propane is dangerous" sidebar in the article.
