    Look at the bright side. These likely won't be counted as Covid related deaths.

    My jaw fucking dropped. Some of those other angles you can see some folks are smarter than others. When some people noted is was a big ass explosion, they threw themselves on the ground before the blast wave hit.

    Aaahhh, good old ammonium Nitrate. It's what Takata decided to make the propellant in their airbags out of, FYI. They blew up one of their plants with it a number of years back.. I'll put a link in the YT thread.

    IIRC a charge 7 white bag for an M-198 155mm Howitzer weighed maybe 15 or 20 pounds. When ignited it would propel a 98 pound HE round (non rocket assisted) 16+ miles. Scale that up 2750 tons. That's a lot of bang.

    There is a video of someone driving in a car down the road about 3 miles away as a crow flies..

    Blew every window out and deployed all the airbags. Wow

    2020 is just an insane year. Next, the movie Sharknado will become reality.

    Shit happens every year. 2020 is no different. The only thing insane about this year is the over reaction by some to just about everything.

    Those are common 1 ton fertilizer bags, farmers use them all the time. So apparently there was 2750 of them piled in the warehouse.
