The iconic Vlooybergtoren, a watch tower in Tielt-Winge (Flemish Brabant), was heavily damaged last night by an explosion. The watch tower gained renown through the TV series "Callboys". Mayor Rudi Beeken says "there are clear signs that it was not an accident".

One question: about the same time in Hofstade, people complained about a loud bang. Is it possible that the noise of the explosion of the watch tower has reached 30 km further ?

Yes, it is possible.
The 1883 the Krakatoa eruption ejected approximately 25 km3 (6 cubic miles) of rock. The cataclysmic explosion was heard 4,800 km (3,000 mi) away in Alice Springs, as well as on the island of Rodrigues near Mauritius, 4,653 km (2,891 mi) to the west.
