Still something wrong about the first photo.
The explosion is way too large. It looks like it was enhanced somehow.
Compare it to the second shot, which shows a much smaller explosion.

Nope. The first shot was taken from a higher elevation, a hilltop or a taller building. If you look close, the POV is looking down at the blast site. The second was taken from lower down, either ground level or the top of a low building. The bottom part of the blast/smoke column is obscured by the buildings in the middle foreground.

/Police CSI and arson investigation photography- I had to know all this stuff.

cheers
