Gulf of Mexico collapsing? space junk reentering earth’s atmosphere? Or a car backfiring?
A ‘few’ calls?
Yawn.
We set off around 7 -10 packs of C4 a buddy had appropriated from an armory where he was stationed in the late 70s
In the pearl river swamps around a half mile from jackson country club in mississippi
Man it was such a boom everybody within a couple miles was ringing the police and carrying on
Cracked some windows at the club
We ran for our old Jimmy to get out of the Averys beach on the Pearl area fast as possible....we were a good half mile closest dwelling
We were about 100 yards back ...in low undergrowth large Deep South river bottom hardwoods
We were absolutely shocked by the magnitude and knew immediately it was a bit much
..
My pal had set it off with cord, caps amd a long fuse
That huge oak..made six foot diameter was destroyed and lifted up in the air quite a ways
We felt a very strong ground blast ......not enough to knock us down but pushed us back
