Once again, "journalists" don't know what they are talking about. Three gigatons of TNT? That would have made a tsunami that would have wiped out Athens. (Probably) followed by years of crop failures around the world.

Oh well ... we know Beirut residents are into urban fireworks, weird flex but ok guys if you want to.

Well no, 2700 tons of ammonium nitrate multiplied by a .7 equivalency variable yields about 2 kilotons no?

Yeah, muh maths was right, was running out of fingers and toes.
