1.1? Yesterday it was 3.3. So not as big as they thought?

Ammonium nitrate is less energetic than TNT, such that the explosion of 2750 tons, i.e. 2.75 kt, of the former has “only” the blast energy of 1.1-1.2 kt of TNT. The times I’ve seen the latter numbers mentioned in other articles was in the context of kt TNT blast equivalent.

The yeild of AN is 0.23 kt per ton. That would mean that amount of AN that exploded would have to 1.1/.23 = 4.8 tons. Since AN is not a good bomb material, it would be unlikely that anything like 100% of the material would explode, much of it would scatter. There is some inconsistency here.
