This may sound harsh, but damn, it's lucky only 50 people died looking at the size of that explosion.
It's China. They're good at cover-ups so probably more than 50 people died.

like almost as big of a nuclear explosion
Some sources are stating that the explosion was equivalent to around 21 tons of TNT, while the Little Boy nuke was 15 KILOTON of TNT. That's 700 times less powerful. Keep in mind the bombs dropped on Hiroshima are toys compared of what we're capable of today.
