3,2,1, bang!

A gram of hexanitromannite initiated with some lead styphnate photographed just when it exploded.

The experiment was part of chemistry safety classes when the students learnt about how to handle explosives. The audience was protected by a plexiglass shield and noone got hurt, besides the plastic bottle with full of water what was next to the explosive.
