Truck with 15 tons of explosives explode
The family Jakobsen lost houses, barns, dog and cat in the explosion.
2000 square meters of pig barns, 600 square meters with stables and other buildings and houses are completely destroyed.
The explosion outside Mosjoen was so powerful that it gave effect on earthquake measurements in Bardufoss, around 400 km away. It was found parts from the truck 700 to 800 meters from the explosion

Tragic for the family but a good example of the difference between the speed of light and the speed of sound.

Hmmzzz. So 9 seconds you say. I din't count. But i think the speed of sound depends on weather conditions and that the speed of sound is around 340.29 M/s. So that means the explosion was around 3 KM away? 340.29 M/s times 9 seconds is 3062.61 Meters. that's 3+ KM.

1500 pigs in a nearby barn must probably pay with their lives, hope the driver NEVER (!) touches another vehicle Besides I hope this is the end for his employer as well. Storing explosives like that is to ask for tragedy!
