Hmm... seems to be a controlled blast. I wonder if that result is normal. If it is normal, they need to start filming from more angles.

You know... when you write 'MASSIVE' in capital letters in the post title... I expect MASSIVE. That was large at best... maybe LARGE... but not MASSIVE.

Disappointing

Spoco wants to see planets explode, man! Film the moon smashing into Antarctica and MAYBE he'll be happy.

I'm not so sure that's slowed down. Look at how fast dust falls down the slope at the left, and how fast the secondary fireball rises. There's not much to indicate scale; it could just be rather large.

I am inclined to agree with Pooterius. Look at the crane in the background that is turning ....

The floor of the pit is like 300ft across. It's not nuclear, but it would be taking out a city block.

Not quite that big... I mean, hell, the internet would be down then, I wouldn't be able to watch it.

Explosions like: http://www.videosift.com/video/Toronto-explosion-wshock-wave-yet-another-angle

Are certainly MASSIVE!

I think people are overestimating the scale of this one, the arm of the large crane in the background looks like it's about as wide as the floor of the pit, so I don't think we're talking 300 feet here.

That "crane" in the background is a dragline. The boom arm on it is commonly over 200 feet long. They are officially reeeeeally big f'ing things.

Not slow motion. It's a large explosion. The concept that large things look slower struck me while reading an ACC short story. A character was orbiting Mercury, and from his POV could see coronal tendrils extending outwards from the sun. From his POV they seemed stationary, but in reality they were whipping around like a firehose at thousands of meters per second.
