I'm in an adequately stoned hole of destruction right now. Thanks.
ReplyDeletehttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benton_fireworks_disaster I knew about this one. It's pretty insane.
ReplyDeleteThis one just happened in the book I'm reading.

ReplyDeleteThe idea of the hellburner at the siege of Antwerp gives me strange and terrible ideas.
ReplyDeleteFrom the wiki page on hellburners. Apparently they were set off with a clockwork flintlock mechanism designed by a clever watchmaker. The use of tombstones is deliciously Gothic.
ReplyDelete"To ensure destruction, very large charges were used. To intensify and channel the explosion an oblong "fire chamber" was constructed on each ship, a metre in diameter. The bay was fitted with a brick floor, a foot thick and five metres wide; the walls of the chamber were five feet thick; the roof consisted of old tombstones, stacked vertically and sealed with lead. The chambers with a length of twelve metres were each filled with a charge of about 7000 pounds of high quality corned gunpowder. On top of the chambers a mixture of rocks and iron shards and other objects was placed, again covered in slabs; the spaces next to the chambers were likewise filled. The whole was covered with a conventional wooden deck."
