BizfuelHQ on Instagram: "The USS John Burke was carrying 4,000 tons of ammunition when a Japanese dive bomber struck it off the Philippines in 1944. The entire cargo detonated instantly. A massive fireball erupted. The ship vaporized. All 68 crew members were killed. No large wreckage remained. Ships nearby were damaged by the shockwave. This wasn't nuclear. Just conventional explosives in a single cargo hold. One plane. One hit. One of the most powerful maritime explosions ever recorded. #WWII
