Lucky they got so many vids. Almost like someone was expecting something. Friggin awesome explosion.Even by Beirut standards.And they are connoisseurs. Looked almost nuclear. Amazing how much of a pasting that part of the world can take and still carry on.

Lebanese PM suggested the warehouse was storing masses of ammonium nitrate.

The Beirut explosion supposedly had 1/5 the power of the atomic bomb used on Hiroshima in WW2 & the blast waves were equal to a 4.5 Earthquake
 
You're all sheeple. There was no explosion. It's another hoax.

LOL
 
"According to Reuters, Lebanon’s interior minister said initial information indicated highly explosive material, seized years ago, that had been stored at the port had blown up."

How stupid is that! 6 years of explosive material stored without much safety measure.

Look now!

Lebanese gov said they are now investigating... Should not be long.. Not much left to investigate...

Somewhere, some developer is drooling at the thought of redeveloping that waterfront now that it's flatter than it was.

How does that explain the firecrackers/bullets exploding??
 
It appears to be a lot of NH4NO3 that exploded. That has happened many times before.

Apparently Hizbollah had control of the port area and what was stored there, they may think twice before storing explosives/weapons in civilian areas.

Fertilizers have a tendency to explode. It has happened many times during the last 150 years.
Having a fireworks storage close by is not a good idea.
However, hold the jewish propaganda. It is a tragedy for 200,000 people, and Israel is helping out the wounded.

2 tonnes of ammonium nitrate is what took down the Oklahoma building.
Beirut apparently was 2,800 tonnes of ammonium nitrate

The port authority stopped a ship in 2013 leaving because of mechanical issues.
The took its cargo and put it in storage.
The ship was never repaired and is still in dock there, if its not destroyed in the blast as well.

80% of Lebanon's imports go through that harbour.
The explosion blew out windows 4 km away.
Totally destroyed the entire country's grain storage as well as their ability to ship in more.

This is a massive disaster to a country that was in major shit beforehand.

that rumour has been criticized as fake news already.
