So you seem to be knowledgeable about explosives, atleast more than me. To me the force of the debris thrown would indicate a pretty strong explosion, and yet the middle pillar was still intact. I would imagine if it was a bomb there would be more damage, could be wrong though. Also the lamp pulsing bright at the moment of explosion coupled with the blue/purple hue around the pillar itself. Do explosives make lamps pulse like that, is it the camera just adjusting to light? Do bombs glow blue at the moment of ignition or would it be more red-yellow?
Perhaps youre right. I did see that arial shot but thought that the radius of that blast, if it were a bomb, would have destroyed the middle pillar too. But if youre saying its possible that the explosion could be directed mainly in one direction then you could be right.
