    This is what that stuff does.

    The photos are in series from a very short film that we made on one of my tunnel jobs. I could only get half of the blast on the 25% speed film. You can clearly see the tunnel temporary works while the tunnel progressed. Essentially the same gear was used as in Chris' picture above. Drill a load of holes, stick in some dynamite, set electronic fuses and bang! Go back down, dig out the rock and start all over. 2 years to drill and blast a tunnel about half a mile long 80 metres below Bristol town centre (no damage at all to the historic 17th and 18th century buildings above). Good job.

    The last picture shows how the perspex box, the camera was in, broke.

    Now I wonder what Chris is gonna do with his. Be careful mate.
