Insane damage.

And get this. Apprarently Al Jazeera now says Israel offered some home-front troops to help Lebanon out.

Wut.

I hope this is a lame joke. Nuh uh. No wey, Jozey.
Doesn’t appear to be a joke-
 
fireworks manufacturing and storage should never be in populated areas, in a downtown is crazy

Reports now are that there may have been 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate or ANFO stored there.

They heard it 50 miles away.
Looks like every nuclear explosion I've ever seen.

Looks a lot like some tannerite explosions I've set off.

How much?


I've never seen more than about 8 ounces

The biggest we've set off was 15 lbs.
We set off 400 lbs of C4

I'd imagine that was a pretty big bang.
They heard it 50 miles away. Mushroom cloud seen for miles.

That would be the equivalent of a small nuclear explosion
 
Wow! just wow!!!!!!:eek-52:


I'm reading it was perhaps an arms depot?... full with missiles from Iran? the first explosions we heard were the warheads being destroyed....

also

Al Arabiya reporting: "Initial information: The explosion occurred in a Hezbollah arms store in Beirut Port."

so yes, it seems it was an arms depot.....:dunno: we'll see

To think Lebanon was such a beautiful and peaceful country decades ago! sad.
