Bad Science: How does an explosion KILL a person? - The science of blowing stuff up

I love an explosion; fireworks, blockbuster movies and mega stunts, but what happens when a person’s too close when a bomb goes off? We find out with the help of some explosive experiments.

Come on a journey through time and space to ancient China, Germany in the 1800’s, 80’s Paris and contemporary Iowa, as we ask: What is the science of explosions? Why is Fear Fun? What is the History of Black Powder? Who Invented Dynamite? All these questions and more will be answered in this episode of Bad Science.
