Timothy McVeigh's ammonium nitrate j-shaped charge (truck bomb in 50 gallon drums with fuel oil)was approx. 8000 lbs by comparison and caused over $300 million in damages in the Oklahoma City Federal bombing...Recalling the photo of the destroyed Murrah Bldg, 2750 tons by comparison is simply off
my 'go visual' capacity. Beirut Port officials are currently under house arrest while the Lebanese officials point fingers...apparently they had warned repeatedly of the safety conditions. Ammonium nitrate fertilizer explosions are'nt that uncommon. Worth
noting
: no MiddleEast terrorist group (Hozballah etc.) is claiming credit for this freebie Big Bang...yet?
