      Yes, that would be awesome! High explosives have a detonation wave that moves at around 28,000 feet per second, or almost 20,000 mph. Meteors often enter the atmosphere at 50,000 mph, so all those Hollywood movies where the meteors are coming in to hit the Earth, or another planet, are WAY too slow.

      About the destruction part that's a good point, still if people dislike destruction, why even click on a video named "Massive Explosive [...]"
      But it's fine people do what they want, I was just really suprised to find out 1.5k people disliked this, when the video is exactly what the title says. It's not like they are exploding fireworks in their garden and filming with a bad camera.
