I remember being astonished when I learned that the failed London bombers of July 21st 2005 used chapati flour as a key ingredient in their bombs. Who knew that flour could be so dangerous? I certainly didn't.

This is key. Dust explosions are huge when they go well, but it's technically difficult to make them go well on purpose. Deflagration is relatively easy but not that impressive, detonation is hard but devastating.

My old chemistry teacher was a bit of a character.
He always had home made fireworks in his pockets and more than once we had to evacuate the classroom after he'd not bothered using the fume cupboard to make poisonous gas.
One lesson he decided to demonstrate how powder could explode and blew a few ceiling tiles off making flour explode and then did the same with, for whatever reason, powdered dried mushrooms.
