I've seen like 5 different angles of the fireworks mushroom cloud and that's just crazy.
-
like tianjin. it's nuts.
-
Best damn baseball player dat ever lived
-
some are suggesting that it is potentially a Hezbollah arms depot that erupted.
-
keeping an arms depot next to/on a harbor would be like a super galaxy brain idea.
-
Supposedly "seized" AN is one narrative.
Lots of criticism of storage and lack of security and oversight.
-

Hezbollah has long been accused of maintaining arms stores in Urban settings.
Port location would be efficient logistically.
If eliminated by a state actor this could get interesting.

I wouldn't disagree with this but it sure would be dumb to try and defend that spot considering they really don't have much of a navy

clearly the defense didn’t work out very well

The cause of the explosions was not immediately known but a top official, General Security chief Abbas Ibrahim, said confiscated explosive materials had been stored at the city's port.
"It appears that there is a warehouse containing material that was confiscated years ago, and it appears that it was highly explosive material," he said.
Whatever was in the warehouse was "apparently explosive", folks
That was incredible footage of the blast wave moving out from the explosion
-
There has to be hundreds dead right?
-
Initial reports say 30.
-
This one brought me into the pit....wowza. What can even make an explosion that big in that small of a storage area?

AP is now reporting 60 but I don't see how it could be less than 100's with the amount of debris and the size of that blast wave.

Fertilizer. Murrow Building in OKC came to mind when I saw the initial reports and blast videos.

Lebanon’s Prime Minister Hassan Diab said that those responsible for an explosion at a “dangerous” warehouse in Beirut port area that rocked the capital would pay the price.
“I promise you that this catastrophe will not pass without accountability. ... Those responsible will pay the price,” he said in a televised speech. “Facts about this dangerous warehouse that has been there since 2014 will be announced and I will not preempt the investigations”.

"One of these days guys, we gotta remember to remove the fiercely, horribly, frighteningly explosive stuff from that warehouse. DON'T LET ME FORGET, OKAY!"

2020 really is the year where it would be best to eliminate murphy's law type things if possible.
-
It is easily the largest non-atomic explosion I've ever seen on film. Just insane.
I agree it has to be something like ammonia nitrate or the like, I would imagine munitions would more explode in waves, not all at once. Like OKC was just a ryder truck of that crap, that is like silos of it.
-
OKC was 2.5 tons compared to 2750 tons.

Yeah just read that (finally have a little time to catch up). Makes sense on the literal several orders of magnitude difference
-
Just catching up on the videos, holy god.
I am trying to learn from this as I am 100% the person that would have my face glued to the window watching the explosion.
-
The before/after is insane

Nice storage arrangement for that stuff. Pic from 8/4.

For some reason, I thought ammonium nitrate had to be mixed with something like diesel fuel (like OKC bomb) to make an explosive (obvs I was wrong about that). Can someone with chemistry knowledge explain this to me?
Looks like their storage standards were pretty lax. Not sure what they could have done worse other than stack the stuff in the form of a shaped charge pointed toward downtown.
Speaking of bombs, does anyone know EMAW hero Jordan Powell?

I also did not know that stuff by itself is like super gasoline on steroids.

You all need to watch the OKC doc (I think it's on Netflix still just called Oklahoma City IIRC) and/or get yourself the anarchist cookbook (though get yourself on the FBI watch list I'm sure). Don't bother getting the turner diaries, that is just straight cray cray crap that was MAGA before MAGA knew it was MAGA (see SD's photos of the trailblazer guy, that guy def has the turner diaries)
-
Decent explanations of the explosion.

Will be interesting to learn what was actually on fire ahead of the explosion. I read their were fireworks and you can see what looks like that in the videos.

Thanks. It looked like it could be fireworks from those videos but I guess it could have been something like ammunition for small arms or grenades or something
