your stars are but dust on my shoes
Any word on what caused that? I wasn't expecting that at all, RIP to the deceased.:mjcry:


Edit:

17:27 GMT - Explosion 'caused by highly explosive material stored in warehouse': Official
Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr reporting from Beirut said the head of General Security, General Abbas Ibrahim, visited the site of the explosion and said it appears the explosion was caused by highly explosive material that was stored in a warehouse.

According to Ibrahim, the explosive material was confiscated years ago.

"We are at the entrance of Beirut's port, you can see behind me the chaos. Ambulances continue to arrive, continue to evacuate the casualties," Khodr said.

"So far according to security sources, at least 10 people have been killed, but we are expecting that number to rise because we understand from the health minister as well as the Lebanese Red Cross that there has been hundreds of injuries.

"Ambulances have been called from across the country to help in the rescue effort. It was a massive explosion; you can see the fire trucks arriving at the scene trying to put out the flame."

They're saying it was a munitions depot - that's why you see all those minor explosions before the big boom. Sure looked like a nuke tho :merchant:


We're living in some strange times :patrice:
If it was a nuke shyt would be melted. Nukes can get as hot as the sun.

shyt was crazy to see tho.

Everybody saying a nuke, until you actually see a nuke lol. A nuke makes that shyt look a zippo lighter, stop it

The mushroom cloud is reminiscent of a nuke, and they do have smaller capacity nukes...but the dead giveaway from a nuke is the immediate flash. It would've been significantly brighter and unable to photograph with normal cameras.

they’re saying the mushroom cloud was water vapor from sea.
