reportedly 2,750 tons of amonium nitrate

that's like a 2.75 kiloton tactical nuclear bomb in terms of blast yield
That is NOT how it works.

To simmulate a 1 kilotonne nuclear blast you need 0.5 kilotonne of TNT. Half the energy in a nuclear bomb generates light and other radiation.

The Relative Effectiveness factor of ammonium nitrate is 0.32.

2,750 tons of AN = 2,750 * 0,32 * 2 = 1,76 kilotonne Nuke.

And that is if you have it packed into a Sphere.

I've been hearing that it was equivalent to 1100kg of TNT
a lot.
Like you say though, that's if it is perfectly mixed with accelerant.
