I'm assuming by the map that jabba posted it's probably around 500 yards

This is really sad :/ This is a terrible week for America...
Unfortunately, these industrial accidents are quite frequent and typically preventable. What can individual citizens do? 1) Learn the risks of plants near you. Even the most innocuous buildings can house mind-numbing hazards. Check out the EQ facility explosion in Apex, NC back in 2006. http://www.csb.gov/eq-hazardous-waste-plant-explosions-and-fire/The link above is to the U.S. Chemical Safety Board's site, which investigates these types of incidents. Even though they have no enforcement power, they can recommend legislation to help prevent these types of incident. Their videos have excellent recreations of the incident, and detail the causes and ensuing events. http://www.csb.gov/videos/2) The U.S. EPA is a good resource to find dangerous facilities near you. Use their Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) or Biennial Reporting System (BRS) databases to find companies in your area that ship or receive hazardous materials or wastes. Since EPA databases can be a nightmare to navigate, use the Right-To-Know Network's page to search your area: http://www.rtknet.org/Sorry about the long post, but in my line of work I have seen the aftermath of many waste plant disasters Oh, and how about this guy's luck?I guess I haven't really noticed them  There was one that happened a few miles from my old house in Utah a few weeks ago... luckily nobody was injured.. That video shows how crazy the shockwave is

I'm pretty sure nobody was hurt... Luckily it was fairly late.
If it happened during the day it would have been extremely tragic...

Well sure it was louder, but it was also not six inches from her ear.  The sound would have had time to dissipate a bit before it reached her. The sound isn't the problem, its the shockwave. IIRC, there's a video from some college kid and his friends who were at the middle school there playing basketball and he took video of the fire. When the thing blew they got knocked back into the bed of his truck, and two of his friends got injured, one with a broken/**** rib and a bruise to the face, the other got some shrapnel stuck in him. The vid autumn posted doesn't look to be from all too much further away than the college kid's one. Sound waves and "shock waves" dissipate the same way. Autumn posted a video where it's clearly shown the girl has her hearing back. I'm not sure why you're disputing that.
