We’ve got the implosion of a tower at the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant, performed in 2006. It’s taken with a “thermo imaging” camera from a helicopter.

And probably longer, surely, but let’s just go with the 1808 date for lack of an understanding of chemistry. Speaking of which, I’m not quite sure how this works: does the water spray kick off the magnesium explosion, or does it just knock some magnesium into the fire?

You know, sure: the Wright Brothers probably had days like this. If you don’t want to wait, you can go to 2:20 in, but I think the build-up just helps.
I’ll go ahead and say this up front, because the narrator in this Spike TV bit lays everything out fairly well: I’m just amazed nobody died. Just damn, folks.

Yes, that’s right: they filmed this house blowing up at a thousand frames a second. Which, incidentally, is the normal speed for shit blowing up in Michael Bay films.

Truly an impressive array of explosions. Watch towards the end where you can literally see the shockwave rippling across the desert and the sound from the explosion hitting like a hammer after the delay. Just damn.

Sparkler Bombs. You take a bunch of sparklers and set them off at once, or so that’s what I’ve read, and it goes foom like a Norwegian Blue.
Talk about insane: here’s some enterprising young lads who decided to stay put instead of evacuating when the next door hotel was getting sploded out of existence. They filmed the whole thing from their balcony.
There’s a goodly number of videos online of kids blowing shit up. We could almost run an entire spinoff site called Teen Kicksplode if we wanted to.
