Beirut explosion - BengalHawk62 - 08-04-2020
Has you guys seen the videos of this explosion? Any thoughts as to what caused it? Some folks are saying it was the largest explosion since the end of WWII. Insane.

Started with a ship carrying fireworks then hit a cache of explosives.

Apparently, 4,700 tons of ammonium nitrate that was stored there.

One bit that I read mentioned that it was material that was confiscated at port, over a 10 year period of time. Seems like they might have, at some point, given a thought to the idea of, "Hey, that's a lot of explosive to be kept randomly in a fireworks warehouse."?

There's at least 78 dead and 4000 injured. Just terrible.

I saw it. It literally looked like an atom bomb being detonated.

Fake News.
It is all just a hologram. Like Tupac and Michael Jackson.
Did not show up on any International seismic monitoring. equipment.

They are going to use this to steal away some more of our freedom. I gurantee you they will try to limit our right to store more than 4,000 tons of ammonium nitrate in one place. Well I say they can pry my 4000 plus tons of ammonium nityrate from my cold dead hands.
Or the small pieces they can find.
