I think in Okahoma they used a medium sized Ryder or Uhaul rental moving Truck that was rented but the weight capacity for something like that likely
would be under 5 tons or less. I'm thinking 2 tons maximum weight or even 1 ton maximum carrying or hauling weight capacity in a medium sized Uhaul type of moving vehicle would be logical
So, imagine what 1000 times that going off at once could do if under two tons
killed 168 people including children in Oklahoma? This is what just happened
in Beirut, Lebanon today. I was watching Ben Wedeman standing in the shambles
of the destroyed CNN office in Beirut today too with the windows and doors
blown out and off with stuff strewn everywhere in the office which was pretty
messed up quite a distance from where the Ammonium nitrate went off.
begin partial quote from:
(CNN)A warehouse storing thousands of tons of unsecured highly explosive material has emerged as a possible source of the massive blast that ripped through the Lebanese capital on Tuesday, killing at least 80 people, injuring 4,000 and sending a shock wave across the city that damaged buildings and blew out windows up to 10 kilometers (6 miles) away.
Lebanon's Prime Minister Hassan Diab said that 2,750 metric tons of ammonium nitrate, which is typically used as an agricultural fertilizer, had been stored for six years at a port warehouse without safety measures, "endangering the safety of citizens," according to a statement.
