I don't know about a broken IBIS but two hours at 2 mSv/hr is roughly
equivalent to a year of normal background exposure. One hour is the
equivalent of a CT scan of the head, and one day of exposure is the
equivalent to the maximum allowed *annual* dose for US radiation
workers. Nice illustration:

numerous statements and circumstances pointing toward a conventional
storable-liquid rocket propellants explosion being involved. True, that
could be misdirection - but if so it's awfully circumstantial misdirection.
News here reports an exposure of 2 milliSievert/hour.
As a comparison:
How much exposure does a broken IBIS device create?
