English term or phrase: explosion pressure waves
A comprehensive reassessment of site related aspects would generally include the following aspects:

 Extreme and rare meteorological phenomena (e.g. hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons, tornadoes);
 Human induced events of accidental origin (e.g. aircraft crash, explosion pressure waves).


I found the definition for pressure waves, however, does explosion mean those pressure waves that expoldes? It does seem!
