The editor was able to convey the overall experience without over emphasis on technical camera angles and complex shots, rather measuring effectiveness by the quality of the blasts rather than quantity. What I found particularly engaging was the incorporation of vague and rather unverified scenes adding a sense of mystery and unpredictability commonly initially associated with explosions and their inevitable aftermath.

This explosion uniquely demonstrates the continuos energy flow created by the sudden release of energy and expasion of volume associated with a blast of this magnitude. I found that the propogating disturbance was quite distinctive in that unlike other explosions the shock wave did not dissipate relatively quikly but rather continues for a considerable distance and timeframe.
