Russian Hydro-Electric Explosion, Part One
In August 2009, there was a large 'explosion' in the Sayano-Shushenkaya hydro-electric plant.
What occurred was that a catastrophic water-hammer incident ejected the No. 2 Turbine and its associated equipment (some 900 tonnes worth) from its seat.
While not a true explosion, as you can see from the photos below, the damage is on par with a large explosion.
In the days that followed the incident, over 76 people were found dead.
The dam before the incident:
And after the incident.
Continued next week.

Oxy-Acetylene Explosion
These amazing set of photos are from some oxy-acetylene cylinders that leaked then ignited in the back of a van. As you can see, the damage spread out over a very wide area.
