Crazy Explosion at Beirut Port (video)

Sadly I think it will be at least 10 times that latest estimate of 40

One resident said there were dead bodies outside her apartment, killed by flying shrapnel.. and that was a mile away from the blast!!

What? Dead bodies 1.6 km from the blast? That’s fkng insane.

Can’t imagine anything other than a 1000 dead

2700 tons of Ammonium Nitrate is the official stance.

I’ve just seen this too. They didn’t stand a bloody chance

Decent cover story if it was Mossad taking out some Hezbollah munitions...

Mind you the Lebanese wouldn't keep that one quiet if it was.


Looks all in all like a horrible fuck up that costs lots of lives.

Anyone know what the TNT equivalent would be?

 

[ultimateharold]

I'd google it but seems a surefire way of ending up on 'a list'.

It’s amazing how little is known about the Fauld explosion of 1944, the biggest ever in British history. 4,000 tonnes of missiles and munitions stored underground went up, killing an estimated 90 people The site is only a few miles from the FA’s St George’s Park
