A WWII British Tallboy bomb was detonated.
ref link: Tallboy, 12,000 lb was an earthquake bomb developed by the British aeronautical engineer Barnes Wallis
Do you think the boom was the actual bomb or the C4 that they placed on it??
I'm think it was the C4. If the description of the Tallboy is accurate, I think the canal walls would have ruptured and collapsed??
PS: This detonation is already in the wikipedia entry for the Tallboy
