Any idea or guesses on the death toll? That large of an explosion has to blow glass and debris for over two mile radius. At least part of the blast area was over water, not the city center itself. That will help lower the losses, but then it also lets the blast pressure wave go further.

Currently at least 145. But there are a number of bodies that will never be found. Some of those may already be included in this count.

Look at the devastation? 145 is a very small number for the damage that was done. Injured were around 5,000 the last time I saw an estimate.

This blast was not what it is said to have been.
