Beirut Port Explosion
Good point. Any idea what would be typical TNT value of 2750kg of Ammonium Nitrate?

According to [1]; 880kg (Edit: Though you meant to ask for 2750t, in which case, 880t). Not far off the estimated yield of the blast. Note that the effectiveness would be affected by contaminants and storage conditions.
