At least 135 dead in massive Beirut explosion, thousands injured

The type of explosive also matters (ie high explosive vs low explosive). High explosives do more damage because they explode at speeds greater than the speed of sound and from what i can tell AN is considered a high explosive (an improvised one at least), with the amount that went up it was pretty much a worse case scenario for Beirut.

Man just looking at that video of the explosion and the vapor cloud of the shockwave is really horrifying. I’m really saddened for the people of the city.
