TNT Magazine View of TNT Storage Magazine, Building No 38. The building is constructed of hollow cement blocks filled with sand. A false roof with six inches of sand is below the metal roof. The blocks are made with a weak cement mixture so that in case of an explosion they will disintergrate rather than fracture. Note the earth barricades on three sides.
