Big Bang
I was rummaging through the attic yesterday looking for a cable when I came across this old newspaper cutting showing an aerial view of the Hanbury Crater. Even in black and white it's a pretty impressive picture.
Thought to be the largest non-nuclear explosion of World War Two. It's of interest to me because it happened in my home county which is why I kept the old cutting. Even now they're not sure how many died in this explosion. Details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Fauld_explosion You can still make it out on Google Earth.
