Occurrence of a double explosion causes fire that result to great destruction of property and can degrade the environment. Double explosion occurs when there is a primary blast and then a secondary blast which is caused by different natural or artificial factors. The factors consist of blasts caused by eruptions of volcanic mountains and blasts that occur on celestial bodies like stars and asteroids.
These natural blasts occur when celestial bodies like meteors and asteroids collide with other planets or space bodies. When stars experience blasts due to gamma ray bursts, they normally die or disappear from the solar system. This proves that these natural forces and activities cause double explosion that lead to great damage witnessed at the surface of the earth and environment.
Double explosion is caused by chemical reaction with artificial materials that cause the second blast to occur in place where there is the initial blast. After the initial blast, exposure to fire and electric sparks causes blasts that are very disastrous and have potential of causing a lot of damage. Some materials that may cause a double explosion include gunpowder commonly used in firearms and explosives like dynamite.
Additionally a double explosion can be caused by high electrical current that causes electricity to short circuit which leads to exploding of electrical appliances using the affected line. This leads to massive damage to household and company electronic devices and may cause injuries or even deaths to the affected people. In addition, putting a lot of pressure to an electromagnet cause double explosion that may damage any equipment using these electromagnets and even people who may be operating them.
Chemical reactions in laboratories and industries always overreact and cause a minimal blast that lead to a second blast if exposed to other factors. Additionally, by-products of these chemical reactions can be corrosive and dangerous when exposed to primary fires where they cause secondary blasts. Double explosion is very dangerous because it can cause huge destruction to buildings and injure many people causing multiple casualties because they are powerful than the primary blasts.
Nuclear energy is used to power heavy and big machinery that cannot be powered using normal sources of energy like electricity. This machinery are used for performing complex duties and tasks in big industries whereby the machine becomes overloaded and causes reactions . The reaction causes primary blasts but when nuclear energy is exposed to a primary blast, it causes a secondary blast thus a double explosion that is very hazardous because contact with nuclear energy causes radiation.
Additionally, fuel tanks are major causes of double explosion in case of a problem with engines that may explode due to collisions. This collision leads to unstable combustion of fuel that leads to double explosion in an automotive, an aircraft and even rockets. When fuel is exposed to factors like sparks that are the initial blasts, it leads to a secondary blast that can be avoided by ensuring there are no leakages.
Double explosion cause greater damage than the primary blasts because velocity and force are increased leading to massive lose of life, great destruction of property and scores of people are injured. While dealing with any materials that can cause blasts, you must strictly adhere to safety precautions set aside by various institutions in order to prevent secondary blasts. This will guarantee safety of the people involved in any activity dealing with substances that are explosive.
