How to use blast in a sentence?

  1. Colin Wayne:

    Due to the force of the blast I suffered a concussion and I remember yelling for a medic but nobody was around me. It was pitch black, I couldnt see my hand in front of my face, my leg was throbbing in pain, I could barely breathe due to the massive amount of debris in the air. After a few minutes, two soldiers came in and got me, but those [four to five]minutes felt like hours. So coming back stateside, I have been told by family members that I was a lot more distant and that I had changed some.

  2. Vassilis Koliatsos:

    When you look at a brain, you are looking at the life history of an individual who may have a history of blasts, fighting, substance abuse or all of those, if researchers could study survivors’ brains at different times after a blast — a week, a month, six months, one year, three years —that would be a significant step forward in figuring out what actually happens over time after a blast.

  3. Zebo Austin:

    We heard a loud blast at the Abiteye to Escravos crude pipeline which was blown up last night by yet-to-be identified militant group.

  4. Alick McWhirter:

    The blast was felt by officers 10-15 meters (32-49 foot) away -- this was not a casual act, the attack required planning and the attack place was chosen. They waited until officers exited their vehicles (to set off the bomb).

  5. Desiderius Erasmus:

    They take unbelievable pleasure in the hideous blast of the hunting horn and baying of the hounds. Dogs dung smells sweet as cinnamon to them.
