One breakthrough invention that killed millions

This is the breakthrough invention that simultaneously saved millions, killed millions and made the inventor many millions. This is the story of dynamite.

There are few inventions in history that have been responsible for shaping the modern World, As in few inventions have been used to blow away at the surface of our planet to create roads, dams, railroads and pillage precious minerals from deep below the Earth’s surface.

Well, dynamite has this illustrious distinction. Why is that you ask, well timing and because previous explosives weren’t strong enough or exploded when moved abruptly. And that’s exactly what you want when dealing with explosives right? Yes, because before a certain still unnamed Swedish chemist figured out a stable explosive, people were using pitiful black powder and the highly temperamental nitroglycerine.

As you can see the reaction when initiated by the striking of a drop of the nitro is extremely violent and extremely rapid. Those two aforementioned “extremely-s” are the type of things that result in maiming, dismemberment, scaring, burning and other unsavory effects on skin and other mushy parts of the admittedly mushy human body.
