BehindBlueI's, Lots of respect for what you guys do. Saw my share of it in the Marines, just not the same in civilian life.
Curious why or how it was such a large explosion? If they were going to destroy one house it doesn't seem like it had to be that massive.

As memory serves, they didn't really know what they were doing as far as fuel air explosions. They had tried previously to cause a gas explosion in the house and failed so Mark Leonard casually hit up a technician about whether or not the regulator for the house could be removed. He pulled the regulator and took a wild ass guess for how long to set the microwave start timer to touch the thing off. Apparently he hit the sweet spot of fuel air mixture and blew up damn near the whole neighborhood instead of just damaging the house enough to get an insurance payout which was what the plan was.
