There were TWO explosions. Yes, I saw the coloring of the first. It's the second with its extremely energetic blast wavefront that puzzles me. Also, the after-blast sound that goes on... Not fire, not explosion, but... Something else. WHAT IS IT?

Yes it was. Do you have a point, or are you going to show that such explosion total energy is possible without a nuke? Did I assert it wasn't?

the 15kt NY diagram looks about 3 times bigger than the Beirut explosion.

I wasn't aware of the tiny nukes, so maybe it as a nuke, next to a bunch of fertilizer

It's always like that. I get told I'm stupid and don't know anything, only to be proven right later. I get nothing but hatred out of educating people.
