The Barrel Explosion
That was the clip of the explosion happening in slow motion. You might be wondering why and how do the barrels actually bend like that before it explodes. That is very simple thing and I shall explain using the image below
In the left side view I purposely went over the roping with red. If you open up the image and look at the front view it should be visible. Though you might be thinking what can rope do it doesn't really still make sense does it. Well that's where the weld tool comes in and the base has been welded together. I also used the stacker tool with the weld option enabled to stack them upwards and thus I created this effect.
Well how does this relate to porosity you might think. Well, since they are welded together you could consider each column as a particle and through the impact of the rocket, it spreads out, but then the welding is a force of attraction in which they want to go back to their original form, but then they explode in which after a strong pulling inward force had been applied, a greater outward force is then applied thus creating an explosion where the particles fly everywhere. In addition, each barrel is giving it's own explosion which also causes a chain reaction with the other barrels and thus all the barrels should explode. In shorter terms I guess, it is like my medium explosion but on a larger scale and there is a greater force being given out.
