I misread the title as “How Many Klintons” and got excited for a second.

I read through the article and the level he came up with was 1.98 kt.

About two.

Do we know what caused the blast yet?

[SpaceBar]

CNN reports it was 2,750 metric tons of ammonium nitrate. Let’s say AN and TNT are equivalent in energy/weight (they aren’t). So 2750 metric tons is 2.750 kilotons.

Does it differentiate between a ground blast and an overhead blast? I would think the latter would break windows a lot further away.

the lying media said ‘contrary to what Trump claimed’

Trump didn’t claim anything- he said ‘from everything I’ve been told, they say it’s a bomb’

The media wanted to make out like Trump was lying about the blast- but Trump never claimed anything- He just repeated what experts were telling him=-

Check this Twitter video and see the sparkles in the fire and smoke at the bottom just seconds before the blast. You must look closely............

This 2,700+ tons of AN (in super-sacks) has been in this warehouse over 6 years. What was so special about yesterday that it went off?

Before the blast, someone undoubtedly said “oh $hit!”

After seeing the blast video,
I looked up the Hiroshima blast radius and the Murrah Building destruction.

Murrah was a firecracker compared to this.

Tomorrow will be the anniversary of this incident. August seems to be the month for big explosions.
