It's not actually the explosion that creates the heavier elements, it's the
process of nuclear fusion that takes place over the lifetime of the star
that does it. The explosion just scatters the bits about for re-assembly
into can openers, dogs and human beings elsewhere.

Don't you find it strange that a little supernova is able to produce all
these elements? After all, the great big grandaddy of all explosions,
the
Big Bang, managed to produce only two elements!!!!
