From page 106... ...
Sympathetic detonation could cause a nearly simultaneous detonation of the line, but this may not be reliable unless arranged for beforehand by special fusing. If a second bomb is in the crater radius formed by the first of the sequence, it will be moved from its original position this was established before the first crater was formed and may be damaged by the first bomb's explosion shockwave.

From page 107... ...
The excavation accomplished by simultaneous detonation results mainly from the explosives' gas bubble; the bubble growth time, of the order of several hundredths of a second, sets the bounds on the degree of simultaneity required. A 1992 study on mine countermeasures conducted by the Naval Studies Board suggested that simultaneity to within < 0.01 seconds is required.
