MASSIVE explosion in Beirut levels entire city blocks

[Wyatt earp]

LMFAO

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

I've seen the damage live on youtube, I am not expert so I ask, can foreworks melt and bend steel beams? That's what I'm seeing with this live video of what is left of what used to be some buildings (not high rises necessarily) that were standing just an hour ago.

Every video I've ever seen of fireworks explosions is staggered.
Multiple explosions.

Did you see that bubble shockwave? That looks more like one unified large explosion.
An explosion of that size would take a massive amount of common explosives.

Obviously if there is no radiation, it was not nuclear in origin. We'll know that very soon.

I just stated/asked the same. thank you. This was one massive combustion not multiple explosions. If media tries to cover this up, we know why. The world needs to know the truth about any such activities, there is a verdict on car bombers coming up there according to BBC:

Beirut blast: Explosion rocks city ahead of Hariri verdict
Large blast rocks Beirut ahead of Hariri verdict

I'd bet Hizbollah did it.

But...if they had a weapon of that magnitude it seems Israel would have been the target.

It's the Beirut that the World knows and loves It's amazing that before the mid 1970s that Beirut was called the Paris of the Middle East

Look at the base of the initial explosion. Fireworks.

 

[basquebromance]

I would not make fun of such things. every human life is precious whether in Sacramento or Somalia, Syracuse or Sudan!

[BasicHumanUnit]

Ok, you can see a lot of smaller explosions in that video.

wow. Will be interesting to see how much explosives that was. A LOT

Oh wait, guided missile development center? So fireworks, then the missile center?
Who the fk would put fireworks next to a missile complex?

So Israel strikes again?

What you'll never see on an information poster at Planned Parenthood for $1 Million, Alex.

 

[TemplarKormac]

HOWEVER that doesn't explain away the second, much larger explosion. Not by a long shot.

The red smoke may be from potassium perchlorate.

Just read a story on it. Officials are saying it was a boat carrying fireworks. Anyone who has been around fireworks knows it could be just that if they exploded.

Fireworks can be dangerous as hell. Sure hope that's what it was and not a rocket fired by terrorists.

I've never seen fireworks do that before

Oh they can. I remember a few years ago a fire works factory blew and you wouldn't believe the damage and lives lost. Can't remember where it was but man what an explosion.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Also, those could be munitions popping off beforehand.

Obviously there was already a large fire.

 

[satrebil]

Just read that a fire started at a fireworks warehouse and spread to some kind of nitrate storage. That would explain the big boom & weird colors.

 

[TemplarKormac]

No. That's not fireworks. No sir.
