2700 tons aminium nitrate in 2nd blast.
Harini was killed in huge blast in 2005. Aminium nitrate too. The tribunal is Friday.
Yeah, it looked like a lot of fuel/air explosion on that second blast.
2.7 kilotons. Hiroshima was about 15 kilotons.
Of course in this case the 2.7 kiloton blast was caused by 2.7 kilotons of explosive. In the Hiroshima case, the 15 kt blast was caused by something that weighed a bit less than five tons, or 0.005 kilotons.
“2700 tons Ammonium nitrate in 2nd blast.”
If it was sodium nitrate (as another report indicated: https://www.wsj.com/articles/lebanon-struck-by-blast-at-beirut-port-11596556605 ), I’m guessing it was propellant for the manufacture of rockets and missiles - a specialty of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
