when i received one video from a building i thouigh it was fake, because the kick to the explosion happened to fast and the shockwave looks very anime strong.......so i rewatched frame by frame and saw it was a colossal shockwave and the way the explosion happened to fast was due to the camera, but still from other videos, the kick from initial blast to full dome was ridiculous fast, never seen a explosion go out like that before.
we can rule tatical nuke or suitcase nuke or the spots would had caugh the particles by now, and everyone would be in panic.

you would be surprised how many similar situatons are around the world and people are unaware, in brazil i know that in rio de janeiro, the army had a artilery shells manufacturing right next to a populated area untill it went boom, luckly it only killed 3 people, one homeless and the personal on duty. so they learned and moved the storage away from public area so this would not repeat...untill






maybe a little further next time ?

Good to hear at least a sliver of good news in this disaster.


But at the cost of 85% of the grain, in a country perpetually short of grain. And now the port through which grain is normally imported is shut down.

Deadly Beirut blast wiped out 85% of grain silos



Grain is merely material items, it can be repurchased. Silos can be rebuilt. The lives it might have saved, not so much.


Grain is FOOD.

Completely irrelevant. Cars are an essential part of our life, and due to what they are useful for they need to go almost everywhere. Fertiliser is also essential, but doesn't have to be stored or manufactured in built up areas.

And if NFB had stated that storing ammonium nitrate near population centers should be banned he would have been making sense, but he didn't did he?

Hopefully some of that grain can be salvaged. I read bread shortage already widespread in Lebanon.

I was only joking to the wife over dinner last night, saying that it was Hilary getting revenge for the various attacks on US assets in Beirut.

Terrible and tragic event however it was caused.

The truly terrifying thing is that every terrorist organization just got a big explosives lesson documented and explained.

It would require - unnoticed - moving and storing 3000 tons of material which is reasonable controlled in most western countries (i.e., subject to regulations and restrictions on sale and handling).

Much easier ways to really disrupt a country.

We used that stuff when we were teenagers, I think most kids around farms know what the stuff can do.
