Watch the Blast in Slow Motion
The Nov. 09, 2008 large blast on the Rock Slip

This short movie shows the hole detonation pattern for the 17,700+ M3 blast on November 09, 2008. There is a 25ms delay between holes and 43ms delay between rows with each hole having a 500ms (1/2 second) delay to the bottom. All blasts have a delay between holes to ensure that the vibration levels are low and to allow the best fragmentation - when each subsequent blast occurs, the surrounding holes have already blasted leaving room for the expansion of the rock.  
 
Be sure to see the the actual blast video and Bruce on Blasting video as well to see how these holes are loaded as well we highlight the Real Heroes from the Rock Slip
