any explosion that would make 300K homeless would certainly kill well into the thousands I would think.

No. The US needs no more people.
Only China and India are more populated.
People need to fix their own countries.

Question One: How much money will they demand from the USA in "aid"? Question Two: How long will it take them to blame the USA for this explosion?

They have no one to blame but themselves.
They were warned years ago that this was going to happen when they stored the stuff there in 2014.
They didn’t listen....................

YES! That is correct! I Know.
BUT...
Since when has that ever stopped those countries from blaming the good 'ol USA?

If anybody, they will blame Israel, but it won’t wash.
They had six years to move that stuff, sell it off or destroy it and they just let it sit, while different government departments basically said, “It’s not MY problem.”.............

They should have been storing it way, way out in the desert, at least 5 miles away from anything else.

It’s the cause I’m suspicious of. Exactly, and how unusual is an explosion in Lebanon?

The death total is a lot higher, that is just the number of bodies found thus far.
Some will never be found.

From Samantha Marika’s Twitter feed...smart girl, BTW,
In the last 36 hours explosions and fires have occurred in:
China
Iraq
UAE
Lebanon
France
....either they don’t want us talking about Bill Clinton being with two little girls on Epstein’s island or something else is going on...

Me neither! Just cannot believe this incident was happenstance. Crazy ness prevails in that part of the world and anything and everything is suspect.”
I have a friend who’s EOD and he said that it wasn’t pyro (fireworks) but looked more like ammonium nitrate that he estimated at 2500 to 5000 tons when he viewed the video the day of the blast.
There was a news report I read today where it’s been said that there was approx 3000 tons in the warehouse.

In 2006 I worked for a fertilizer company. As I recall around that time, in the USA a huge amount of ammonium nitrate was lost. I think it finally showed up in Lebanon.
My boss was concerned that it would end up in the wrong hands.
He was correct.
I wonder if that missing jetliner is sitting somewhere in Lebanon...
