[warriorfan]

Orange man bad.

[LAL]

I need some answers yo

[Patrick Chewing]

Yeah that looks like either an oil tanker or refinery explosion.

[Patrick Chewing]

Holy shit this video is shot from like 500 yards away and the people recording got ****ed up!

[Kblaze8855]

Yea that was way to close to those buildings for them to still be standing if it weren’t a conventional explosion of some kind. Well I assume at least. We hear about suitcase bombs and dirty bombs that don’t work that well and I’m far from knowledgeable on the subject but....I assume even a tiny one is worse than that.

[DoctorP]

woah.

[DoctorP]

it does look like a nuke

[DoctorP]

damage is not nuke-like but man that was some power

[Patrick Chewing]

Aftermath is unbelievable: https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1290678162716626953?s=20

:oldlol:


Even in these days of dulled sensitivity from all the violence and tragedy around us that we see on video every single day, this explosion was caught me off guard. Are those hotels? If so why would they be located so close to a factory capable of producing that sort of explosion??? Just....wow

[Doomsday Dallas]

mini nuke... damn.

[Raymone]

You can see fireworks in this initial explosion. (https://twitter.com/Slasher/status/1290682387333099522)

But that second explosion with the cloud, wtf... Did they build a fireworks factory next door to a ****ing uranium enrichment plant?

[DoctorP]

Say what now

oh just theorizing rumors upon rumors... if Soros was behind the black market influx of fireworks in nyc, was this a retaliation?

it's a stretch.

[msbutthurt]

Maybe it's the beer talking, but am I the only one a little disappointed it wasn't a nuke?


The world will soon be run by blue haired non-gendered communists anyways... nevermind, that's just USA. In other countries, those people would be shot and tossed in a ditch.


Let's kick this off though. Duke Nukem needs to drop the Dookie.

I'd say those are 2 stretches

yeah, the soros rumor is just something that has been floating around. nothing proven.

If it's a fireworks factory, then they probably have barrels and barrels of black powder. That right there is enough to create a crater in the ground.

or it could have been an accident.... i dont know

You're right... People are more than a little a disappointed. I've read many comments from tons of people that are beyond disappointed.



Conserv supporters are hoping a war will kick off so they are free to curb stomp progressive soy boys.

I get what the person who secretly wish for a nuke is coming from. In natural disasters it's isn't uncommon for part of you to root for the disaster, but then you remember the people that died.

Looks like a fireworks factory. Bunch of fireworks went off beforehand, then the fire spread to an area where they probably kept a ton of powder for fireworks. All this shit about missles and nukes is funny as hell. People just spread the stupidest shit.

Yikes, this surely is scary af. And it somewhat looked like an atomic explosion to a very less extent. Anyway, prayers for all those who got affected by this.

According to Reuters, the Lebanese Director General of Public Safety says it was 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate that sat in that warehouse for almost six years after they confiscated it from a ship heading to Mozambique and kept it stored there.

For comparison, the OKC truck bomb had about 5,000 lbs of ammonium nitrate mixed with a few accelerants.

As bad as this was, and we don’t even know fully how bad this is yet, this could have been so much worse. 2,700 tons of that stuff might as well be a low-grade warhead.

That is an insane amount of ammonium nitrate. For reference that's around 15% of the max yield of one of the most massive of intermodal container cargo ships or over 62 semi tractor truckloads. Not only that, who can afford to keep that stuff sitting in one place for that long? It takes up a whole warehouse and it's not very valuable.

[Axe]

But the question is, who dropped it?

Unbelievable.. Dunno how the hell did they leave that sitting there for 6yrs, it's inexcusable.. My goodness, heads need to roll over it.

sadly just a regular bomb :(

My guess is hezbolah bought a Soviet era bomb and It ****ed up the port ... cute stories though by the media

[beer]

sadly just a regular bomb :(

I realize who I'm replying to and it's pointless. I know what you're cheering for.... but the location of the explosion was right above Mar Mikhael (Saint Michael) and it's predominantly and historically the Armenian neighborhood of Beirut.
