The most severely damaged areas are red, moderate damage is orange and lesser damaged areas are yellow. Each pixel covers an area of 30 square metres. The explosion occurred after a fire broke out in a warehouse in the city's port that was storing approximately 2, 750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate. It was one of the biggest non-nuclear explosions in history and caused at least 170 fatalities and injured over 6, 000 people, as well as causing extensive structural damage.
