@blitzwinkel: 💥One explosion - 10,000 dead The Lochnagar Crater is a large World War I site near La Boisselle, France, created by a massive British mine explosion on July 1, 1916, during the Battle of the Somme. The explosion left a crater 91 meters wide and 21 meters deep. Today, it’s preserved as a memorial to those who fought and died in the battle. The largest conventional detonation to date could be heard as far away as London #lochnagar#explorepage

The Futuristic Historian :

If you think he meant "Worlds largest" you'd be wrong! the Worlds largest non-nuclear explosion is "The Halifax Explosion"

Woodrow Kellogg :

Compared to the Galveston explosion in 1947?…

Bob :

The scary thing is there’s still bodies in there. Well skeletons or what remains. If you took a metal detector there it would go absolutely mental. RIP to those soldiers.

Andy :

There's also a couple that didn't detonate, all that explosive still sitting there under a farmers field

satriyo :

Three blast tunnels were dug; one was detonated, two more were loaded and forgotten...The second exploded in a thunderstorm after the Second World War, the third is located under a farm....
