As bad as the explosion was, it could have been much, much worse.

This Is Exactly How Massive the Texas Fertilizer Explosion Was - Yahoo! News

Quote:
An estimated 28 to 34 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded, with the force of 15,000 to 20,000 pounds of TNT. An additional 20 to 30 tons in the building didn't go off, nor did 100 tons in a nearby railcar.
