Interesting.
An airburst event seems pretty unlikely; the area of damage seems way too spread out and there doesn't seem to be any real historical precedent for similar events.
Geological seems to be the most reasonable answer, and sites like Bab Edh-Dara and Numera, as well as the evaporated pools where rivers and lakes once would have sat still contain sulfur balls that were likely thrown up from a major seismic event and deposited over the valley. To me, the simplest answer seems the most reasonable.
