Holy shit.

Why does it sound different as soon as the shock wave visually starts growing, before it reaches them, along with the big bang? I would think the big bang came from the explosion that created the shock wave.

starting at about t=7

edit - oh, maybe that sound was from right before the explosion, and it just got lucky and lined up with the visual of shock wave traveling over the buildings.




btw, theres lots of vids from other angles. crazy explosion.

The wave...uh... it is not a traditional bomb.

There was a ship that was confiscated full of nitrate a few years ago and stored at docks. There were warnings this could happen.

Yeah it was burning before, wasn't it? Doesn't look like an attack to me but who knows. That's a crazy explosion.

WH says not an accident, probably a Bomb. Iran and Hezbollah are buddies, there are covert ops to empower the Lebanese Army to challenge Hezbollah.

Some say it was a fireworks warehouse, and there is video before the main explosion consistent with this.

Aside from a rocket engine factory explosion filmed from nearby mountains, this is probably the most intense non-military shockwave I've ever seen on video. The way it enveloped that high rise hotel looking building was crazy. I want to see before and after pictures of the explosion side of it.

Compared to events like the Halifax explosion, this is actually "not that big."

Millennial journalists quickly reported it was just some stored explosives.

It’s fine.

I don't see how this is from stored fertilizer. There was a fertilizer factory in Texas that went up in flames a few years ago and it was nothing like this.

Fireworks ignited, detonated, and that detonated some type of nitrate fertilizer. They said sodium nitrate but that is impossible as that does not explode by itself, so must be ammonium nitrate. So likely not a terrorist act, but then again this happened in an Armenian district...and Turks seem to be very active lately
See this for similar case in Texas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_City_disaster

Russian ship. It was a scheme to deliver explosives to Hezbollah.

Helluva way to spread fertilizer.

It was a storage location for hydroxychloroquine.

Fauci's fingerprints are all over this.

I thought that was a hotel right near the explosion, now I see it's a grain elevator. No wonder 80% of their grain stores were reported destroyed. It was amazing the way the shock wave and water/debris overtopped this structure in the videos.

When Lebanese get triggered, they don't fool around.
21   komputodo   2020 Aug 5, 2:20pm  

I think that a couple of highjacked planes flew into it and then evaporated.
22   RC2006   2020 Aug 5, 2:44pm  

Heads are going to roll over this, there were so many warning about it for years.

There is evidence Hezbollah has stockpiled stuff like this elsewhere. Just search for:

yup, they've been finding them around Europe.

They come with the "refugees", package deal.

Yes, clearly burning, with flashes in the smoke, but maybe that was all part of the attempt to set off the big explosion. It's possible, though it does seem unlikely without more info.

I heard they found a MAGA cap at the bombsite.
29   just_passing_through   2020 Aug 5, 9:51pm  

I heard a rumor it may have been Mossad. Just to get rid of it.
