Scene Thirty Seven: House

 

Lieutenant Colonel Parker: (bomb squad)

Major Dorchester, make sure the detonators are all in sequence.

Major Dorchester:

Yes, sir, we are about ready to evacuate.

Everyone retreats to a safe distance, so they think. There are five and a half tons of high explosives in titanium blast holder which has been especially made to specific calculations.

If all goes well the blast will go upwards and incinerate the house. The area has been evacuated to beyond the town limits.

Lieutenant Colonel Parker and his team plus other army chiefs are in a special metal and concrete bomb proof shelter, he has received orders to detonate the bomb.

Helicopters and other aircraft are in the sky at a safe distance, so they think, from the danger area. The order is give, the blast moves upwards to the foundations and then outwards in a nuclear style way. The surrounding area is flattened to three miles in distance, the bomb shelter is reduced to rubble and the aircraft are brought down with the sonic blast. People who are sightseeing the event in the local hills surrounding the town are incinerated. Nine hundred and eighty three people are killed.
