How to use blast in a sentence?

1. Kirk Yeager:

   Al Qaeda terrorist Richard Reid said. Fox News saw evidence photos from the scene, including the blast site where one of the backpacks was left. You can see some of the carnage left over, the blood, the remains of people's personal items that have been lost as they're fleeing in panic. Al Qaeda terrorist Richard Reid are seeing what a bomb site looks like, which is pure chaos. That created another challenge for first responders, as Kirk Yeager explained. When people are fleeing for their life, they're leaving behind purses, backpacks and other items -- and the bomb tech coming on scene knows one bomb has gone off, and there's always a chance there's a secondary device out there.
