Hi!
What a way would you suggest me to go, if I decided to emulate a sound of
an explosion?

I would try blowing up a paper bag, and recording the
sound of bursting it between your hands. Then,
slow the sound down by a factor which should be in
accordance to the desired size of the explosion.

With Tobiah's paper bag idea, you can make many copies
and apply different reverb settings as needed. Perhaps
you'll need one track with a long reverb delay and no
tail which might create the initial Bang and secondary
boom. And another with a huge reverb room, and long
tail to create the impression of a sound wave that's
traveling many miles. With numerous tracks you'll be
able to mix the level of the different effect results.

Reading about sound effects of this kind made me think of a story
I heard about how the band Yello generated the thunder and lightning
sound at the start of the song that was part of the soundtrack to
the movie "Ferris Bueler's Day Off".
Apparently it was done by recording the unwrapping of one of those
large reels of cellotape. The recording was then slowed donw to
give a realy nice thunder.

Yes, using concrete sounds and editing them is often better and easier
then synthesizing...
(Just googled on this, I remembered correctly:)
"The T-Rex dinosaur sounds in the film [Jurassic Park] were developed
from a combination of elephants, alligators, penguins, tigers and dogs."
I especially like the use of penguins ;-)

I'd just go here:
http://www.archive.org/
and download either one of the pearl harbor documentaries
or something similar and warlike. {Tho I suppose that if
you're looking for an industrial thing you'd have to adjust
your search accordingly.} There are several appropriate films.
{:} You can even get the footage of the early atomic bomb
tests.}
There's plenty of linux software that can copy out a bit
of the audio...

As no one mentioned it... Often I find useful this search engine for
sounds: http://www.findsounds.com
