Rest In Peace Lebanon
A Lebanese security offi
cial says 2,700 Tons of Ammonium Nitrate was confiscated from a Russian tanker. They confiscated it years ago and stored it in the port by all accounts and now it goes kablooey cause of a nearby fireworks fire
Harlan Mcdiarmid could be an act of war then……
Oh Alright ok you English professor nerd whatever you say xD
@Oh Alright News is saying its Ammonium Nitrate
@Harlan Mcdiarmid No, it can catch fire and then will explode,then the shock wave will propagate through and break the nitrogen and oxygen bonds- which becomes a chain reaction through all of it. I think the expansion ratio may be around 1000 times,so one ship full of it becomes 1000 ships of gas expanding at about 2 miles a second= trouble.
Daver G = big kablooey

No.
AMMONIUM NITRATE, 2750 TONS WORTH
Yikes
Israel Attach
The end of this system is coming
Omg, chill.
Not sure what you mean by that. Looks like a planned attack, by who though?
Israel? Syria? Iran?
You sound like someone who doesn’t know what he is talking about.
@Sling Blade Carelessness by Hezbollah – that’s my guess.
Was it terrorism?
I’m so sorry lebenon ♥️
It’s too early to know for sure but Lebanons president says it was an accident. I’m sure on these videos a bunch of keyboard experts will provide their theories but bottom line is it’s too early to know for sure. I suspect the investigation will have a clearer answer within a few days or maybe a week from now.
@Alex AKA A. Charles Ross Trump already said it was “terrorism”.
Israel is responsible for it .
@TheOrangesEverywhere Trump also said Covid would “just go away”
@Alex AKA A. Charles Ross I know it’s ridiculous
😭
I feel so sorry for everyone that has died & wounded there 🙁
2020 feels like a movie.
You’d never expect all this bad stuff in one year. But lord it’s happening
RIP
August 2020 is off to a great start already………………………
Imagine to be woke up by this explosion, u would think that your city has been hit by a nuclear attack
Was clearly nuke weapons did you see that mushroom circle or rocket bomb somthing powerfull
I guess the war has started for real
I told my wife this morning when this first appeared on the news that it looked like a fireworks stock pile ignited a nitrate stockpile. Then it gets confirmed 12 hours later. I little bit of science knowledge and close examination of the videos will tell you what happened really quickly. Human error and negligence
I think theres a little more to it than that
are there two blasts?
3 explosions total were confirmed
What happened to this world?!?!?!?!!!?!!
