How much TNT is 200 grams?

[IronJack]

“Huge” explosion? Seven grams of TNT? Might blow the doors off the locker, but not exactly an A-bomb.

Oh, it is St. Petersburg, Russia. I was thinking of all of the St. Petersbergs in the world. Why is the location, country NOT in the headline? Dummies!

What do we know?

Who is saying that it was equivalent to 200 g of TNT?

It is easy to determine what type of bomb it was due to the molecules from the explosion, but how can they say that it was that amount of explosives so quickly?

Obviously it was placed in order to reduce the damage, i.e. not typical of a terrorist attack.

A video is released https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=9&v=QAaq_oKTSxU watch it at the lowest speed.

Is this the right video?

Why is the camera moving in the beginning, to prevent it from taking pictures of his face?

Why do they blur his face?

The FSB frequently announces that it has foiled terrorist plots ahead of holidays and important events.
