Hard to believe it was only 21 tonnes. Halifax harbour explosion for comparison was 2.9 KILOTONS. Adding to this, it seems there was a pretty toxic brew of chemicals that went up along with the explosion. Tianjin is the 10th largest port in the world, larger than LA or Rotterdam apparently.

After seeing so much video of the Tianjin explosion last night it is very difficult to come up with a picture of what the Halifax explosion must have looked like.
