Well, for "The Walking Dead" fans, this is Frank Iudica.
Hi. He is our special effects supervisor,
and he's gonna tell you
all about our big truck explosion today.
Iudica: The front half of this water truck
is gonna be primarily gasoline explosions,
fireballs you'll see.
The back half, you're gonna see
a bunch of water shooting up into the air.
Iudica: The first thing is we set up a perimeter
of what our safe distance is,
and for us today, it was 100 feet.
We stripped the interior,
obviously removed the engine, transmission, all the fluids.
We score the sections that we want to break apart.
Man: This here is a schematic of the explosion layout.
The fuel tank is what starts the explosion,
which explodes the cab and blows the motor compartment apart.
We tie all of our explosives into the truck.
Meanwhile, the other end of the wires
are being held by a technician.

This was about seven gallons of gasoline.
It was spread out amongst the shotgun mortars.
The shotgun mortars are used with wet sand
and/or what we call super-sand,
which is sand that's soaked with gasoline.
We've prepped for this for two weeks.
And we had a really great team
of special effects people and stunts people
that were all here to make sure everybody was safe.

Next up will be about a 10 minute
where nobody goes near the truck.
I'm gonna close that gate.
At that last moment is when we have our safety meeting.
We seal everybody from going in or out
and set the truck off.
Victor: Madison. Wait.

There was 14 hits on that truck
that all happened within a second,
so to you, it almost looks like one explosion,
but it's actually, you know, pop-pop-pop-pop-pop --
all these separate events that are happening.
We had a water hose
to keep the tank looking like it's draining.
We have an ash effect, which we use real nice down feathers.

And then, for the ground stuff, all those residual fires,
we have what we like to call burn butter.
On the ground, we'll use
what you'd burn in your fireplace.
They're called Pres-To-Logs.
We'll chop those up, throw those on the ground.
♪♪
You only get one shot at it,
so we're happy it went well.
Madison. Wait.
