Scary thing about this is this isn’t even a nuclear level explosion

[@SqurdTheOne]

Not even atomic, this is just an citywide explosion. Nuclear could take this whole country and more

[@user-ok5md3sp3i]

No where near it, can’t imagine how devastating a nuke would be

[@paulkurilecz4209]

It was a little over 2 kilotons of NH4NO3. Which would be slightly less than 1 kiloton of TNT. This is roughly equivalent to the smallest nuclear weapon that has been in the US nuclear arsenal which is the W54 tactical nuclear weapon which in various forms has a yield from 0.005 to 1.0 kiloton. So yes this was a nuclear level explosion.

honestly tho, already over a million of people died this yr.

[@AnyoneCanSee]

It's not going to be over. I know people who are part of the trial for a vaccine at Oxford University. There are already four strains of the virus and it will continue mutating. When it mutates it will come back again. It can mutate at any time in any one of the countries it is in and travel around the world again like it did the first time. They know that we are stuck with this forever. It's going to be like the flu, a new version will come every year. Sorry, to be depressing but that's just how it is.
