@Hooroo TB is a reference to @booboo and telebision. If that is what you are getting at?
OK. Didn't know that, I thought you made a hash brown with your 'spelling'
No. Deliberate "fernism".

Quick google search (FBI will be after me now), the amount used in the Oklahoma explosion was around 4000 pounds or less then 2 tons...

On August 12, 2015, a series of explosions killed 173 people, according to official reports, and injured hundreds of others at a container storage station at the Port of Tianjin.[2] The first two explosions occurred within 30 seconds of each other. The second explosion was far larger and involved the detonation of about 800 tonnes of ammonium nitrate (336 tons TNT equivalent).[3] Fires caused by the initial explosions continued to burn uncontrolled throughout the weekend, resulting in eight additional explosions on 15 August. Of the 173 fatalities, 104 were firefighters..

And with a massive air gap it still inflicted all that damage. (shock waves take the path of least resistance).
Beirut's ANFO blast reminds me of the Mont Blanc in Halifax Harbour in 1917. That was an explosion!
