Hi Hughie,
dynamite is classified as a primary explosive with a mass explosion risk. The impact would have been enough.
The most important hour is always the present, the most significant person is the one opposite you right now, and the most necessary deed is always love. - Meister Eckhart (c.1260 - c.1328)
