Here's a higher quality half-speed version of one of the videos posted earlier, so you can really appreciate the way those buildings get torn up like something out of Akira (skip to 0:20 for the explosion)

Yeah, I've seen the Beirut explosion compared to Akira a lot (in nerdy places) which is why I used the same example. The animators did their research, and it shows.
Speaking of Japanese things, yesterday was the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima.
"Fat Man" was ~21kT, though did less damage to Nagasaki overall because the city is within a valley, and the hills absorbed a lot of the physical blast energy.
