From yesterday in Beirut the massive explosions at the level of a tactical nuclear weapon. As is alleged about 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate went sky high literally. Equal to about a one kilo-ton atomic detonation.
Detonations spontaneous or otherwise the magnitude so devastating not so terribly unique. Consider Albania 2008. Excess military ammo being "decommissioned" the process also resulting in a massive explosion. Thanks to the tip from Sheldon.
"A massive explosion has rocked central Beirut, damaging buildings and blowing out windows and doors as a giant mushroom cloud rose above the capital of Lebanon."

"There was a mushroom cloud explosion in Tirana, Albania in 2008 when a NATO project to decommission Enver Hoxha’s old anti-world ammunition went catastrophically wrong"
ALSO AS REPORTED THE BLAST IN BEIRUT PRECEDED BY NUMEROUS SMALL EXPLOSIONS.
A HEZBOLLAH WEAPONS DEPOT? I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED.
THE TRUTH WILL NEVER BE KNOWN?
