An explosion of laughter and applause filled the room.

He ran down the stairs, reaching the bottom just as the explosion flung him onto his face and filled the place with smoke.

The explosion filled the end of the warehouse with a firestorm.

The explosion had destroyed the light fixtures and filled the air with swirling hot smoke.

An explosion fills the screen, indicating a bomb has hit the cemetery.

Up ahead a shattering explosion filled the road and the night.

A second explosion silently filled the screen, more violent than the first.

But he had scarcely stepped from the building when a second explosion filled the air, more ground-shaking than the first.

An explosion of blue light filled the avenue, visible for a mile in every direction.

The explosion jarred my wrist and filled the room with blue smoke.
