40,000 pounds of explosives were exploded off the coast of Florida — all to test new aircraft carrier. The US Navy calls it a shock test.
The U.S. Geological Survey registered the blast as a 3.9 magnitude earthquake.
Ever wonder what a 40,000 pound explosive looks like from the bridge wing of a @USNavy aircraft carrier?
