Yes, 95% is an egregious and reprehensible exaggeration. It was merely 69%, or maybe 78%, (plus Dick Cheney);

I say we dig Saddam up, and water board him until he confesses to it. It might not work, but I know I would feel better.

Seriously, I would look for secondary explosions to come from other sources like natural gas containers, or some freak aerosol or particulate explosion. In order to get the scale of the secondary explosion I saw, you would need lots of compression and subsequently rapid gas expansion in the explosion. This might have been possible if the explosives were stored in somewhat sealed cargo containers, which when super heated acted like massive bombs. This is another reason why modern explosives are bigger. We understand now how to introduce substances, like water, into explosives to vastly increase the pressure wave.
