The word "explosion appears 19X.
Explosion
1. A release of mechanical, chemical, or nuclear energy in a sudden and
often violent manner with the generation of high temperature and usually
with the release of gases.
2. A violent bursting as a result of internal pressure.
3. The loud, sharp sound made as a result of either of these actions.

What's your point? It was indeed an explosion.
Balok was an alien.
