BTW, Pinto, this ancient version of vBulletin was written before Responsive Design. Your massive images screw with it, big time. Please read the forum rules...

My bad, I have a 4K monitor so what looks small to me is potentially huge to others.
Can see the shockwave in this video: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...19.12.42_1.mp4 Surprised these people survived: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...t_19.12.42.mp4

Yeah...lots and lots and lots of shrapnel wounds to people. I'm still scratching my head at what could cause such a blast. Officially they're saying ammonium nitrate but we're talking like 500+ tons of it for a blast that big. It shook windows 110 miles away.

2750 tons of ammonium nitrate...
Image description of the ship and its cargo the ultimately lead to the material being in that warehouse If my math is right, this detonation was approximately equivalent of 1.155 kilotons of TNT. Halifax was approximately the equivalent of 3 kilotons of TNT.
