Beirut explosion (1 Viewer)

They haven't even had chance to establish anything yet .
That best and last footage doesn't capture the start.
Not long after admittedly .
Understandable speculation I suppose given the history and geography.

If it was nuclear they'd have alot more to worry about over there right now

Some of the footage is mad. Reminded me of the twin towers a bit some of the close up ones.
Wouldn't surprise me if it was deliberate with all the shit going on round there recently.
Don't want to see the injured figures, could be huge.

About 2700 tonnes of ammonium nitrate stored in a warehouse for 6 years caught fire.
2 tonnes of ammonium nitrate was used in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing which killed 168 and destroyed or damaged buildings in a 16 block radius.

Just awful
There's a bit missing that would put the locals minds at rest
And that's footage of the initial start of the first explosion
Something expert's will analyse , might come from a fixed security camera on sabuilding.
Until something like that is available conspiracies.will remain

Reports say it was a fire not an explosion at first.
Governor of Beirut was talking about a number of firefighters who were at the site fighting the fire when it exploded

Just had a chap on bbc news, he said following a similar explosion in France in 2001 a study was carried out here to look at how much amonia nitrate could be stored safely on farms and the like, he also said that it needs to come into contact with a fuel oil and an ignition source, plenty of that in a port i should think.

Not necessarily. Some nukes have a yield as little as half a kiloton which is also what you would expect from a home-made terrorist device (which this clearly wasn't).
Can't help but feel for the people here,seeing them give their accounts on TV
However being flippant here and wishing no harm to anyone
Looking at the many news segments today I think they may have been wiser to transfer it all into the Silo's and the grain into the warehouses,which are still just about standing.
Of course they may have set off for the moon or Mars.
Or been blown up due to the politics of the region.
