Probably quite a few, but I don't know of too many types of conventional
explosives that don't sound like something...exploding when they go off.
The explosion that toasted the Big D's limo and most of his entourage
MADE NO NOISE. If anyone knows of a normal explosive that does not make
noise, let me know.

Again, that should still have made noise, a very loud thump from the
explosion being muffled in the sewers if nothing else, and, if it didn't
have a lining, I'd expect a couple of blown-off manhole covers (not
talked about, but you never know)

The explosion, whatever it's purpose, was magical. I have no doubt that
the Big D should be capable of surviving _almost_ anything thrown against
him. Exactly what ever it was that blew up, was not your typical ka-boom.
