"Look at how far the blast damage extends out. Even the distant buildings are wrecked. What about the other direction? This is a devastation zone well over a mile across. Even the church at Hiroshima, 700 feet away from the ground zero of that bomb remained standing despite being gutted. The buildings in the background in Lebanon are the same, this is similar damage and that grain elevator exceeds Hiroshima type damage, considering how far it was from the actual blast site. I'd bet $500 that grain elevator was 100X as tough as that church that stayed standing in Hiroshima, I do not believe this kind of damage happened outside the realm of war."
