And I can understand why conspiracy minded people think this was an atomic bomb attack!  Supposedly there were 2,700 tonnes of Ammonium Nitrate in the burning warehouse and that is in the range of a tactical nuke, or what would be on an air-to-air missile like the AIR-2_Genie

 We've all seen film of the distinctive blast from an atomic device, but what makes it distinct?  Is it that it is atomic or is it just the amount of energy released?  I honestly don't know, but there was sufficient potential energy stored in that quantity of Ammonium Nitrate.

Finally, why bomb an already burning building?  Whatever is in there is already being destroyed and there will be many eyes on it, so any action would be noticed and filmed.
