I was amazed at the video and audio of the explosion and the shock wave, which I watched on a different FR post.

Anyone who scoffed at the claim that it might have been a tactical nuke will reconsider after seeing it.

The explosion is instantaneous and symmetrical.

The only way 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate could blow up like that is if the whole building was wired with electrical detonators.

“By 9 a.m., flames had erupted from the hold and within minutes it exploded. The blast was heard 150 miles away and was so powerful that the ship’s 1.5- ton anchor was found two miles away. “

“The 1947 Texas City disaster was an industrial accident that occurred on April 16, 1947, in the Port of Texas City, Texas, at Galveston Bay. It was the deadliest industrial accident in U.S. history, and one of history’s largest non-nuclear explosions.”

Or if rocket fuel was stored in the same warehouse in shipping containers.

The detonation looked much more like >5000 m/s than 2000 m/s ammonium nitrate.

Ala Pepcon. The color of the cloud is a clue.
