As a joke to the new blast foreman, some blasters at an unnamed copper mine

put about 20lbs of anfo into a cardboard box with a 1lb primer and a blasting cap. They threw it over the side of the highwall so the foreman wouldn't notice. The final cap to go off was the one in that box. The anfo almost blew out glass over 2 miles away across the pit.

The blasters didn't quite realize it would be that powerful.

Just park the truck in your garage, close the doors and bomb the garage. ** -- ElbertoHokie 09/09/2021 1:12PM

Blowing up the garage is a bit much. I'd start with pesticide. ** -- HokieNoVA 09/09/2021 1:34PM
