EXPLOSION ANALYSIS
_____Figure 1__________________Figure 2______________________Figure 3
Natural gas leaked from piping and
an explosion was initiated by the
furnace (Figure 1). Severe over pressure is shown in the computer model (Figures 2 and 3). Figure 4 shows a model of
an explosion that damaged several buildings.

___________Figure 5_____________________Figure 6________________
An explosion occurred in a home as a
consequence of a natural gas leak.
The high pressure gas line has ruptured,
resulting in a tall fire plume (Figure 5). Several
nearby buildings were badly damaged.
Investigators examine
a chemical reactor that was
involved in an explosion at a
large factory complex (Figure 6).
