"Interior Minister Mohammed Fahmi said that blast was likely triggered by nearly 6 million pounds of ammonium nitrate, a chemical that is commonly used in fertilizer and bombs made by terrorists."


" “The second of the two blasts could be heard in Cyprus, more than 100 miles away. "

Moron government. So they seized 2,700 ton of ammonia nitrate and stored it up town.
Why didn’t they give it to farmers to use. Under military guard if they were scared it fall into wrong hands

The first assessment say that it was a explosive force of 2.2 Kilotons or more..

Little boy dropped on Japan was said to be 15 kilotons. So it was big.

Found this photo. Not sure if it is real but it looks about right.

Looks right


Fireworks storage and tons of potassium nitrate... they have compared it to a nuclear explosion in some media

The warehouse where the nitrate has been stored since 2014 was next to majority of the grain storage. Could have been grain dust fire that set off the nitrate

Poor people-they got lucky by storing the ammonia low(hence the big hole)AND with the Grain silos acting as blast shield............

Looks like a cruise ship on it's side, no sign of the two ships in the picture from a few days before, SEEMS those captains were lucky they gone.

... too nice to look at the news!

The blast in Halifax was even larger at 2.9 kilotons of TNT and 2000 died. Seems like this blast in Beirut may be the largest ever caught on camera though.
And of course, idiot Trump has to jump the gun and say its probably terrorism.

They are saying there may be connections to Hezbollah since the port and warehouses are unofficially controlled by Hezbollah. It was not likely an attack, but there may be terrorist activity related to the blast..

It has stranded things politically between the different political groups.

Well Hezbollah do stockpile things like that near population centres and have been caught with tons of it before ... this is from 2015 and the article over a year ago... and the amount in London was not more than in Beirut but ... 3 TONS!! A full ton more than Oklahoma bombing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SB1jpUP2X4

"MI5 and the Metropolitan Police uncovered the terrifying plot in the autumn of 2015.

Three metric tonnes of ammonium nitrate"

This is 1 ton

a bit more ..

An attack, probably not .... with Hezbollah's control of so many things in Lebanon and even seats in the gov't.. their fault.. maybe.... after all this was just a week ago..

You have to get the right conditions, but there have been big explosions before and it is often in home made bombs.

Just a bad accident.
