Something occured to me about the end-sequence of HL2.
Perhaps the expanding cloud is not actually a fireball from an explosion at all. Maybe we're only meant to think it is.
Perhaps instead it's basically an uncontrolled version of the portal that Dr. Breen was trying to go through and the gunships came out of. The one you could see the alien towers and sky through.
The reason this expanding portal could bring down the Citadel is not an explosive blast but parts of the building being sucked through the portal, enough that it might collapse.
It certainly can't be a nuclear blast as Alyx and Gordon would have been incinerated at that range from the white flash.
So I'm guessing Alyx and other characters might not be killed but simply sucked through the portal somewhere. And turn up again in HL3.
Just speculation. Not sure if I'm repeating something someone else has already suggested.
