This is still the largest non nuclear explosion that has ever happened. See The BBC Staffordshire website Has any one visited the site or surroundings?

Fauld Crater is close to us in Burton. I'm always amazed at the many theories about what caused the explosion, given that no one survived to tell.

They were very lucky that the lot did not go up otherwise the crater would be a hell of a lot larger.
