Ah, underground blasting. I've never done any of that. To be honest I don't think I'd want to. Those 300kg of explosives must have been in smaller rounds on delay, surely? That's a hell of a blast all in one go. Don't get me wrong, here in Australia on the iron ore mines they let off tonnes of the stuff at a time but it's in a ripple, quarter-second or so delays between lines of blast holes.
