Reeder Custom Guns - BIG explosion of AN has happened a number of other times

Beside Texas City Wikipedia has 24 listed many in the US
The big bubble is the blast wave compressing the air in front of it-- the moisture becoming visible for a few moments---- despite Hollywood blast waves can be basically solid--- so they do not just roll you around
As to the nuc Idea... many explosions can make a mushroom cloud plus no flash--no radiation--etc

the ammonium nitrate was weaponized. That increased a smaller amounts potential.

The Texas City ammonium nitrate explosion in 1947 is the deadliest industrial accident in U.S. history. 2,300 tons of ammonium nitrate on a ship at the dock exploded and killed over 400 people, injured more than 5,000 and destroyed over a thousand buildings. Windows were shattered in Galveston 10 miles away and the ship's anchor which weighed two tons was blown over a mile away.

At Oppau, Germany in 1921, over 4,000 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded. It killed more than 500 people. The noise of the explosion was heard more than 200 miles away.

No telling how many buildings have structural damage that isn't known yet.

Surprised the Liberals haven't accused Trump of collusion since it came off a Russian Tanker.

who were suffering from lack of food before all this took place. And lest anyone should try to write this disaster off as "muslims" .. the population in Beirut is at least 49% Christian ... not that any of that should matter when it comes to people who are suffering and need help.

Who's getting the benefit shouldn't matter. The only time I shut down giving is when a middle man takes a cut. That's a deal breaker for me.

Oklahoma City is a prime example.

The difference is in Oklahoma City

Two very large ammonium nitrate explosions

I've been reading about those left homeless in Lebanon...

OOPS .. should read "40% Christians" ...

Agreed, Charity is about the giver's heart....
