I counted 7 seconds from flash to boom. That was a small nuke.

If we knew the distance from the explosion, that might make a difference. I'm not convinced. I think we would see a lot more dust/rock, and less hydrocarbon smoke from a nuke. I'm no nuke tech, so I could be wrong. Anyone have an explanation?

FUEL/AIR Bomb, Or a lucky hit on an Arms stockpile. Nukes would have been much much brighter, and the people looking at it would have been instantly blinded.

It was a co-ordinated rocket attack. You can see the grey smoke from the initial strikes off to the left before the actual blast. I suppose you could call this the mother of all secondaries.

Russian "Daisy Cutter". That's a way to level a town.

Hey people! Tactical nukes are usually 10-25 kiloton warheads. 25 kiloton = 25 000 000 kilograms of TNT. That city would be leveld in a second. SO IT WAS NOT A TACTICAL NUKE!! - Someone who worked at Sandia Corporation.
