Only if you imagined and laughed as people were cruelly killed.
If you think THAT was awesome, just imagine the "Big bang" which is actually still in motion outwards forever in all directions

If you think that's awesome, consider that directionality and motion are a product that exist because of the big bang, not a feature of how big the boom was.

West Texas ammonium nitrate explosion
If you let a large enough pile of ammonium nitrate burn it will eventually explode
Halifax Nova Scotia
103 years ago the city of Halifax was partially destroyed by 2100 tons of ammonium nitrate detonating on a ship in the harbor. 1,000 people were killed in what was at the time the largest man made explosion in history.

The bomb on hiroshima was 15,000 tons of TNT, 2,100 tons of ammonium nitrate is about 15x less.
Tsar Bomba was 50 million tons of TNT.

Texas City Texas was destroyed in 1947 when 2200 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded on a ship in the port
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_City_disaster
I think humanity has an ammonium nitrate problem
Fun fact, all those instant cold packs you see at pharmacies are filled with about 250g of pure ammonium nitrate and an ampule of water. When you break the water it dissolves the ammonium nitrate, which is very endothermic and gets very cold

Fun fact 2: Controlled thermal decomposition of ammonium nitrate is how you make nitrous oxide

So like, which crown jewel hoard contains the most Moldavite?
Perhaps in the structure of the star born meteor, there can be some explanation.
Many blasts happened over time these are just man-made ones.
We don't need to wait millions of years to destroy earth like a giant meteor did to middle France 15 million years ago.

This explosion is absolutely massive. Its gonna be hard to say this level of damage could be done without some kind of weapon being involved.

It might be a coverup to convert and chemically/with heat turn a stockpile of explosives into a more deadly stockpile of explosives.
Imagine that it takes massive force to put massive force into another object, so could this have been the charging of some nuclear like reaction and with core reasearch?
I imagine Dirk Dirkley will be on case soon. As they do sometimes in disasters as such

Lol no. You have that backwards. It would be very difficult for this to be caused by a weapon. Use some common sense.
As described in previous posts, this kind of explosion has occurred many times due to irresponsible storage and a lack of regulations concerning fertilizers

Since the ban on nuclear testing, the us military uses ammonium nitrate to simulate nuclear detonations

Here is the blast radius of an entire fertilizer plant, its radius is measured in feet not miles lmao
