MASSIVE explosion in Beirut levels entire city blocks

[asaratis]

Reports are coming in that it was felt 100 miles away.

I heard it was even felt in Cyprus.

In this case, Cyprus is a city about 5 miles from Beirut.

They said the island. 149 miles away.

Impact of Beirut blast massive, shockwaves felt 240 km away in Cyprus: Reports

The ripples of the Beirut blast were so huge that in Cyprus, an island lying 240 km west of Lebanon, residents reported two large bangs in quick succession.

You're correct. I edited my post. The newscaster misspoke. The Cyprus Embassy and the Cyprus Visa Offices are within 5 miles of the blast.

Thanks!

Looks like every nuclear explosion I've ever seen.

fireworks manufacturing and storage should never be in populated areas, in a downtown is crazy

I think this was a political hit by Hamas or Hezbollah

 

[mudwhistle]

I have no doubt the CIA and Israeli Mossad are responsible for the explosion. ...

It's DemJus again.

Someone didn't adhere to the No Smoking signs....

Since Hezbollah was involved, maybe one of them had a hot date with Otis' goat...

Are you basing that on the mushroom cloud only? If it was a nuclear explosion, we'd likely have heard of high radiation readings already.

Mushroom clouds occur in all sizes...including cigarette smoke rings.

The Palestinians used to do donkey bombs in Israel.

Wut.

I hope this is a lame joke. Nuh uh. No wey, Jozey.

Major General Abbas Ibrahim, of Lebanon’s General Security Directorate, said the massive blast that shook Beirut’s port area on Tuesday was caused by confiscated “high explosive materials.”
It would be “naive to describe such an explosion as due to fireworks,” Ibrahim told Lebanese TV.e exploit
