flatbush71 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) It would be nice to see a small mod in remembrance of this event. Across the road from the Grab and Gulp would be the general location. There was a lot of skullduggery involved in this. Kerr McGee cornering the market for one and no liability for the gas leaks as another. The explosions leveled the PEPCON plant and Kidd & Co marshmallow manufacturing facility. Damage within a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) radius was severe, including destroyed cars, damage to buildings and downed power lines. Damage to windows and moderate structure damage was recorded within three miles (4.8 km) of the incident.The damage reached a radius of up to 10 miles (16 km), including shattered windows, doors blown off their hinges, cracked windows and injuries from flying glass and debris. At McCarran International Airport, seven miles (11 km) away in Las Vegas, windows were cracked and doors were pushed open. The shock wave buffeted a Boeing 737 on final approach.An investigation estimated that the larger explosion was equivalent to about one kiloton of TNT, approximately the same yield of a tactical nuclear weapon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmjGRhjHzzs Buck WOFOP Edited October 29, 2018 by flatbush71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
