Just for a reference point, that is 2/3 (0.68) of a kiloton. When people talk about small nukes, either as we might use them or as potential terrorist countries might use then, they need to realize that this massive amount of conventional explosives is only a fraction of the smallest of nukes.

Only if it's TNT. If it's a higher yield explosive the ratio above wouldn't work.

Even a the most diehard gun-nut or pyromaniac would say that is so much.
Well, really, it's not THAT much.
And it's probably low grade.
And you'd need detonators to set it off,
almost worthless as far as explosives go.

680 tonnes of explosives That is enough explosives to level a small-to-medium sized country.
I believe that shipping tonnage refers to occuppied space and not weight. So there may not be as many explosives as you think.
To: tet68
Besides, we are talking METRIC tons here.
Piddling amount, why there's probably that much in
my.........
Nevermind.

Nope,a shipping manifest will show the weight.1,496,000 pounds is alot of explosives.

Tonnage can mean many things, explosive power, actual weight or occuppied space.

Tonnage can mean many things, explosive power, actual weight or occuppied space.I measure weight in "Jerry Nadlers" now.
620 Metric Tons is approximately 1.2 Jerry Nadlers.
