Certainly plenty of attention grabbing video footage of the incident.

So if it was really 2,750 tons of AN going off. Now AN isn't TNT, but it isn't 
bad in large quantities. So are we talking a roughly 1KT or 2KT equivalent bomb 
going off? Given the pics of the widespread destruction that's not unreasonable.
