Crazy Explosion at Beirut Port (video)

[The Stockport Iniesta]

There appears to be some people watching on the road (next to two parked cars). Keep your eye on the cars.

You mean the upturned cars?

Those big metal containers mangled as well.

Poor sods wouldn't have stood a chance.

Wow, fireworks stored next to Sodium Nitrate! Someones going to lose their job. Thank god the missile factory next door didnt go off.

The more you watch the videos, you can see the real power of the blast and shockwave. Don’t watch the actual explosion, but look at buildings in the middle ground. They literally implode. The death toll is going to be horrific

Unreal. Can’t believe they are only quoting 10 fatalities currently, will be a miracle if it stays under 100

Sodium Nitrate - a fertiliser precursor.

if anyone remembers reading Clive Cusslers Cyclops, a similar thing happened to Havana. + explosives and petrol iirc.

Most of the IRA's Home Made Explosives (HME) used Sodium Nitrate it was a controlled substance throughout 70, 80, and early 90's in N. Ireland. Horrible stuff.

What kind of building is that? Looks like a hotel?

Talk of Hezbollah in the vicinity, bet it was Iranian arms bound for the terrorists. Some saying a missile was involved in which case I bet the Israeli air force F15s have been for an afternoon flight.

I bet you’ve just made all that up and you’re completely wrong.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Why don’t you wait for some evidence before accusing another country’s intelligence service?
Conspiracy nuts will have a field day.

Indeed. Someone on Sky News was saying that one rumour was that it was an assassination attempt. Who were they trying to assassinate? Godzilla?

There will be hundreds of totally made up rumours that will circulate round social media, mostly about Israel.
