Engineering wise is it a bigger job given the earths been stirred up a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anfo goes off with a hell of bang when it does (we use it for blasting of Iron Ore) but it's not the easiest stuff to set off unless the fuel anfo ratio is perfect and it get hit with a pretty big whack to set it off.

And yeah last I heard the truck driver is still in a coma and two of the firies in hospital with severe hearing damage. Apparently they went in there knowing what they were up against but were determined to get the driver out. Deadset fckin heroes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get the right blend and the bang to set it off is pretty rare..The bang was heard over 40kms away.. So yeah pretty loud.. First priority is to get traffic flowing and side tracks in place.. Crew moves out tomorrow.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
