Open flames were used to help miners see until the advent of portable lighting. There was a massive amount of dust flying around coal mines, and it is very flammable. When it's a fine powder, it becomes explosive. The reason charcoal does not do this with a grill is because charcoal is made from wood products, not coal, and is not nearly as flammable or capable of producing the fine particulate dust that can combust easily.
The aerial explosion of a meteor or a comet on 30 June 1908 was the probable cause of the Tunguska event.
The cause of the Maine's explosion and sinking remain unclear. The Americans at first thought the Cubans blew it up with a bomb or torpedo while it was docked in the Havana Harbor but with an investigation following, it was really the gun powder all packed together blew it up. Spontaneous combustion in a coal bunker adjacent to the 6-inch reserve magazine caused the magazine to overheat, which resulted in an explosion. In 1898, the cause was thought to be a Spanish mine, which led to the Spanish-American War. It was believe that the Spanish exploded the ship internally, but future findings make it plausible for the ship to have hit a mine.
It was the USS Maine, a battleship that was anchored in Havana Harbor when it unexpectedly blew up. The cause of the explosion is still not certain, but it was a catastrophe. The unexplained explosion was used as a catalyst to precipitate the US and Spain into a war.It

You will get a spark and maybe a shock. If you do this with a car battery, it may well explode and might cause injury.
Yes. * A) Coal is not charcoal * B) Charcoal is not dust * C) The coal mine has a different atmosphere to the grill So, with all those differences, why would we expect the two situations to produce the same results?
NO, but it can cause a sauce to bubble up like an explosion...
It is a question of the fuel oxygen ratio. Coal dust has a very high mix rate and as such will burn so quickly it is a form of explosion. A briquet has a very low surface area and is not as volatile. Note that any dust will explode. Flour has always been dangerous and grain silos are built to contain massive explosions.
Charcoal is not safe to use on a gas grill. The grill was not designed for the heat and contact with the charcoal. It isn't likely to explode, but it may very well fall apart and cause problems.
The cause of an explosion is a violent chemical reaction with release of gas.
The water did not cause the explosion it was from the pressure assist that caused the toilet to explode because of a hair line crack
In a 'meltdown', the nuclear fuel rods will overheat and melt, not explode. It is the build-up of pressure within the containment vessel that can cause an explosion.
The explosion of mobile phones, in fact, the real root cause of the explosion of mobile phones is the explosion of the battery. Professionals believe that the root cause of the battery explosion is the use of fake and inferior products. Experts say that most of the batteries currently used in mobile phones are lithium batteries
dynamite:made from saltpeter-like moss,charcoal,sulfur,----charcoal and sulfur burn a long time but if you add saltpeter whitch realeases a lot of oxygin when burned all the oxygin will cause the charcoal and sulfur to rapidly cumbust all together disclaimer:dont try it cause you can get yourself killed

Creepers explode because they are made out of tnt and when you agrivate them, the cause the tnt to "ignite". When the creeper gets agrivated they then explode and resultly kill them selves from the explosion. The damage creepers do are usually depending on the distance you are from the creeper. I hope i helped! :D
