An unfortunate accident has occured when Astratian uranium-ore mining plant exploded when blocks of heat-detonated dynomite were inadvertantly detonated.
Heat-detonated dynomite is set of at a certain temperature, in this case, the explosives were set to go off at 75 degrees. It was a very hot day on the surface and hotter underground. The explosives were at least 200 ft down, and, at 1:32, the temperature suddenly junped to 76. A minute or less later, the dynomite went off, only 150 ft from the newly discovered chamber. The explosion swept all 200ft to the surface, killing 162, and seriously injuring 479. The intense heat accouted for some deaths after the blast, so many are suffering from the heat aswell as injuries. It may kill more, so we need as much aid as possible, as rescue workers are beginning to get caught up in gas sprays, as a gas pocket was hit and the fires are still burning.
