Controlled detonation blast lights up the sky

BALAD AIR BASE, Iraq. A controlled detonation blast here lights up the sky. Materials detonated include weapons, contaminated fuel and outdated flares.

If that’s « controlled » I’d love to see an uncontrolled one.

It's the mixture of explosives, fuel and chemicals (flares). Michael Bay would be proud.

Dutch EOD digs a large pit, puts in the stuff they want to get rid of and then put on a heap of soil before setting off the charges. Doesn't make for good Instagram material like this :(
