Crazy Explosion at Beirut Port (video)

2700 tons of Ammonium Nitrate is the official stance.

For comparison, the Manchester bomb in 1996 contained about 1.5 tons of Ammonium Nitrate making this Beirut one nearly 2000 times bigger.

Trump just said in a press conference that his generals believe it to be an attack of sort. Make what you will of that.

That the fuckwit just makes stuff up off the top of his head and probably hasn't got a clue what's happened but his comment sounds right to him.

Like most statemen he should wait untill it is known, not second guess

Why would anyone store this stuff in huge quantities close to residential area's. The world is full of fucking idiots.

The only thing I want to see coming out of Trumps mouth is an embalming tube.

Reminds me of that big explosion in game of thrones when Cersei blows up all that green stuff stored in barrells under the city.

Anyone know what the TNT equivalent would be?

Don't know but we used to make pipe bombs with it as kids, mixed it with sugar, blew a lot of shit up

That from the man who thinks the US have the best Covid figs in the world - in fact that they are better than the world.....I know what I choose to believe

Lower deaths per case figures than Europe
More tests per head than anyone else

Storing fireworks (or was it ammunition?) next to a big pile of Ammonium Nitrate is technically building a bomb.

It really is the nearest thing to a nuclear bomb going off your ever likely to see, hope the fatal number ends up less than the horrific images & reports first show
