I can give you a stat on the other side. In 1917, a Belgian relief ship
collided with a French munitions carrier in Halifax Harbour; the Mont
Blanc caught fire and 2 766 tons of picric acid, TNT and guncotton
exploded. Two and a half square kilometers of Halifax were flattened by
the blast, the subsequent tidal wave, or the raging fire started when
buildings collapsed in on burning stoves and furnaces. Windows were shattered
in Truro, a hundred kilometers away.
The Halifax Explosion remains the world's greatest man-made non-nuclear
explosion.
Bit of trivia and a bit of data. Help any?
