The Science of Explosives

 

A bang that changed the world: Few inventions had a bigger impact on the course of history than the invention of explosives. This science documentary takes us on an action-fuelled rocket ride through the world of dynamite, TNT and Semtex. From high-tech vaccination guns to clever explosive devices in space and the complex destruction of a skyscraper– this film is a blast.
