700-900 (can't remember which ) people were killed in the Texas City ammonium nitrate explosion.

The ANFO bomb at Murrah didn't do even do any damage to the "Survivor Tree." It blew out some windows and such in the front of the building, charges placed on columns inside the building caused the second explosion reported by eyewitnesses and the OU seismograph, bringing down the building.

The ship explosion caused many other fires and explosions throughout the area - a lot of refineries, oil and chemical storage.
