Massive Explosion Pulses Through Beirut, Lebanon

[Professor Emeritus]

Israel releases images alleging Hezbollah missile project in Beirut

could be unrelated but from 2018

The site in the article isn't the site that blew up. Though it is possible that some stuff was getting moved out via the port.

They are using Lebanon as collateral damage to attack iran indirectly cuz they p*ssy ass Jews who don't wanna fight the creators of chess

That's a more plausible set-of-events than, say, several tons of an historically known and documented explosive, stored improperly, being set-off by a fire probably caused by a carelessly tossed, lit, cigarrette?......

yeah but the idea that lebanon is not highly contentious or that areas near the port in beirut are not highly contentious for israel/iran is false as well. to act like israel has not been skeptical of lebanon is false and to ignore the history of israeli-lebanon relations... i aint sayin either one of yall are right, bbut for a skeptic, youre ignoring a lot of things

granted +5 years shows gross negligence on the behalf of the government/customs officials, especially when it was labeled as dangerous product. someone did not do their job at all.

Apparently nuclear scientists around the world are secretly controlled by Mossad as well:

















Terrifying Explosion in Beirut Wasn't Nuclear, Experts Say, And Here's Why

But as state officials say, and contrary to those fast-spreading rumours, the explosion was almost certainly not caused by a nuclear weapon.

Even before Lebanese officials said the explosion was caused by a large stockpile of ammonium nitrate stored in a warehouse at the port, according to The Guardian, experts who study nuclear weapons quickly and unequivocally rejected the idea that Beirut had been hit with a nuclear bomb.

Key to those rejections are the videos that Beirut residents managed to record video of the huge detonation.

People trained cameras on the Beirut port at the time of the blast because a worrisome cloud of smoke rose beforehand. Some of those videos show small flashes of light and reports (or sounds) that are distinctive to fireworks.

Moments later, the huge explosion – which came with a visible blast wave and mushroom-like cloud of smoke – rocked the area, destroying nearby buildings and shattering distant windows.

In a tweet that accumulated thousands of likes and reshares before it was deleted, one user wrote: "Good Lord. Lebanese media says it was a fireworks factory. Nope. That's a mushroom cloud. That's atomic."

Vipin Narang, who studies nuclear proliferation and strategy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, immediately spiked the claim. "I study nuclear weapons. It is not," Narang tweeted on Tuesday.

Martin Pfeiffer, a PhD candidate at the University of New Mexico who researchers the human history of nuclear weapons, also rejected assertions on social media that a "nuke" caused the blast. "Obviously not a nuke," Pfeiffer tweeted, saying later: "That's a fire setting off explosives or chemicals."

Pfeiffer indicated that the explosion lacked two hallmarks of a nuclear detonation: a "blinding white flash" and a thermal pulse, or surge of heat, which would otherwise start fires all over the area and severely burn people's skin.

The explosion did trigger a powerful blast wave that apparently shattered windows across Beirut, and it was briefly visible as an expanding, shell-like cloud – something often seen in historic footage of nuclear detonations.

But Pfeiffer noted such blast-wave clouds, known to weapons researchers as a "Wilson Cloud," are made when humid air gets compressed and causes the water in it to condense. In other words: They aren't unique to nuclear bombs.

A back-of-the-envelope calculation reshared on Twitter by Narang suggests the blast was equivalent to around 240 tons of TNT, or about 10 times as large as the US military's "mother of all bombs" or MOAB is capable of unleashing. By contrast, the "Little Boy" bomb that the US dropped on Hiroshima in 1945 was about 1,000 times as powerful.

As a counterpoint to suggestions the Beirut explosion was caused by a nuclear weapon, Pfeiffer offered a video showing the detonation of a rocket-propelled "Davy Crockett" nuclear weapon, which exploded with a force equivalent to about 20 tons of TNT.

The Davy Crockett was one-tenth as strong as the Beirut explosion, but had a distinctive flash that's missing from Tuesday's blast. No reports suggest there was any radioactive fallout after the Beirut blast, which would have been quickly detected.

It's not crazy to wonder if a large blast in a populous city might be an act of nuclear terrorism, of course. In fact, it's one of 15 disaster scenarios that the US government has simulated and planned for (to the point it created scripts for local authorities to use after such an attack).

But in this case, Beirut's tragedy was not in any way nuclear.

I'm no conspiracy theorist but somethin ain't right with that..

Why do yall always preface posts with this stupid shyt?

 

[DPresidential]

People must really be slow. This was a mini nuclear bomb that was planted years ago. The fact that this happened on the anniversary week of hiroshima is a calling card.

See...the signature of satanic terrorism is coincidence. And the most successful satanic terrorists are the israelis.

This is willful ignorance.

You are no different than the Trump and Alex Jones nikkas from the Midwest and Bible belt.

Your whole narrative sounds like some shyt from an 80s B movie... So, Israel wakes up and looks at the history channel which has shows on Hiroshima and nagasaki and decides to do a mini Nuke on Lebanon for what?

Are they trying to be sneaky or wouldn't they know that the world's detectives would blame them first?

Side note:

This is a catastrophe
You'd be surprised how many incompetent fools are all over the world.

Im more surprised at how people will scramble at the chance to label everything a "coincidence" and everyone "incompetent"

 

[thekyuke]

Ofc it was the Cacaunderthals;they announced they would on the 31st!| That chutzpah and contempt for humanity is their standard MO through the ages. I had a thread where IDF snipers bragged about shooting Palestinian kids in the kneecap.
In dramatic policy shift, Israel to hold Lebanon accountable for Hezbollah attack

Conspiracy theorists are sick people, really no sympathy for people. They treat everything like a Dan Brown book.

There's a long story of the ship, the explosives and the reason for why it was there. How the fire broke out is the only thing which is not completely established. People 10k miles away trying to figure it out before the people investigating it even started

 

[xCivicx]

Lol incompetence was also blamed for the invasion of Iraq. Government incompetence about weapons of mass destruction. Get it? I think the word gullible was mentioned in the last thread.

There are other facts too that must be considered: these major players on the world stage own the news media entirely.

Exactly

The MSM tells tou what they want you to know

Youre gullible af if you think theyre EVER telling the entire truth

 

[RammerJammer]

Why do yall always preface posts with this stupid shyt?

Because conspiracy theorists are stupid.

Side note:

Theres a very long history of nefarious intent hidden behind "foreign aid", just so you know

You need to look no further than Haiti/Venezuela/Libya/Iraq to see how it can be EXTREMELY DETRIMENTAL to a country

Just sayin

Whats the literally definition of "conspiracy"

Google it and post it here

 

[MenacingMonk]

fukkin crazy seeing the videos.

You believe in the flat earth conspiracy, what secret plan does NASA have to not tell everyone that the earth is flat?
