What's the best explosion you have ever seen?

I don't have a link, but the cement truck explosion on Mythbusters. They had to clear planes from flying over head during that. That is insane!

The myth was could you use a small amount of dynamite to clear out hardened concrete inside a concrete truck. It didn't work with the small one, so of course they had to go big. REAL BIG.
 
The Kingdome implosion was cool, I was orbiting at 1200' towing a KZOK banner right over Seneca Street exit when it went. I could feel it in my chest🙂
The neatest one was at a dam job I worked on in 1990. They had a big boulder left over after a shot, due to a bad wire or something. It was impossible to move and it would have taken a while to build a decent road and get a drill to it.
Kogan the wild man decided to make a shaped charge and crack it that way.
He loaded up a big box of fast dynamite, shaped it in a cone and stacked sandbags on it to direct the blast.
I'd watched all the other shots, and they are dull sounding really.
Not this one. CRACK!
This 2' boulder comes whistiling over toward us like a line drive, from a good half mile away. It bounced off the log guardrail, or it would have totalled an office trailer.😛
