This is big. They'll try and blame this on Israel.

Last explosion I saw like that was a rocket fuel place out west in the desert that went boom.

Just watched the video on twitter. Holy crap!
Prior to the major explosion there were lots of little secondary pops going off. It looked like small arms ammo being burned off. Then WHAM. That took out the entire end of the city.

Some are saying this was a chlorate explosion, possibly related to fireworks.
Whatever it was, it’s either sabotage or a clear breach of safety protocols.

The source of the explosion was a major fire at a warehouse for firecrackers near the port in Beirut, the state-run National News Agency reported.

Sounds like one of those “Headlines that Could Have Appeared Any Day in the Last 40 Years.”

No way there weren’t a lot of deaths from that. RIP

I have never understood why people get upset someone posts a link to an article other than someone elses post.
All day long news agencies repost links to subjects that are repeated. It is how something gets attention.
The threads on FR are time posted. After a while are not visible. If they are not reposted then the subject itself is often lost.

When someone says something is “shocking” they are usually exaggerating. That was shocking, no bones about it. Wow, awful.
