Massive Explosion Pulses Through Beirut, Lebanon

Hmmm..,I wonder who had a hand in this??? Likely the people who cannot be named without being deemed as anti-the-people-who-cannot-be-named.

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.

I believe most huge explosions have that mushroom cloud , not just nukes.

This is some of the craziest shyt to see in real life. Was working the tower (perimeter security)one night in iraq. It was such a quiet night when all I see a few miles away is a big flash of light, then a fireball, and a few seconds later the sound reaches me, then maybe a sec, or 2 after the sound hits, then concussion hits. Had the tower rocking n shyt.



shyt was crazy.

Allegedly a ship in need of repairs docked there 10 years ago and offloaded 50 tons of ammonium nitrate and never came back to pick the shyt up. It never got disposed of and here we are.

Hope that shyt wasn't a bioweapons attack - all of that "dust" coulda been aerosolized virus/bacteria

From my understanding Mushroom clouds are formed from powerful explosions. Nuclear explosions just happens to be powerful enough to cause a MRC.

If you remember volcanos can cause MRC as well.

Conventional explosives have mushroom clouds too. A nukes mushroom cloud is massive and lasts longer. Even a “small” nuke as you say would be much more devastating.

Economic crisis, COVID-19, and now this. Lebanon can't catch a break.

10 years? No way. I've seen reports saying months to a year..

Spoiler: ...

At that stupid ass film. At the casting director picking Adrien Brody to be some bad ass hero.

At least Robert Rodriguez tried to replicate what made Predator 1 so good. That garbage that was The Predator - I have no idea what Shane Black was thinking about.
