Now, remember the growing orange flame as the warheads exploded?
An explosion is the rapid release of energy—"Detonation"
You can slow down the release of energy by burning the explosive—"Deflagration"

From "Nitramine Composite Solid propellant Modeling," Naval Weapons Center, 1989, page 42.
Remember: Octogen = HMX
When HMX is heated, it undergoes deflagration, emitting brown smoke. The energy release is greatly reduced.

Most of the blast effect went straight up into the air.
When a warehouse full of explosive material goes off, should the building right beside it remain standing?
