The USGS says this blast was the equivalent of 1.1KT of TNT.

Those of us who say it on video knew it was a big one.

1.1? Yesterday it was 3.3. So not as big as they thought?

Ammonium nitrate disasters

“On August 4, a major fire broke out in the Port of Beirut warehouse. It has spread to 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate, which had been impounded and stored for six years after it was seized from an abandoned ship in 2014.[36] It then detonated, then causing immense damage throughout the entire city. The shockwave reportedly was so intense that it was felt in Cyprus, a north-western island about 240 km (150 miles) away from Lebanon.[37] A giant orange mushroom cloud was seen following the detonation. Currently, there are at least 5,000 confirmed injuries and 135 confirmed deaths. [38][39] Up to 300,000 people have lost their homes according to Beirut’s city governor.[40]”

So when will the people of Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and all the rest of these supposedly "peaceful" countries inhabited by the "peaceful religion" of Islam come to their senses? Answer: never. The problem in the middle east and the world ad hoc is Islam. A "religion" started by an epileptic thief, murderer, adulterer, child abuser, and phony "prophet." There will never be piece anywhere the Saracens go to corrupt and destroy everything in following their evil "religion."

One bomb on the Kaaba will prove their religion is worthless. No one dares complete the easy solution to proving this phony "religion" wrong. Any thoughts?

Kind of reminds me of the Texas City, TX blast in 1947.

Well, now the muslim world knows what it’s like to be on the receiving end of something like 9/11.

I wonder when the dancing in the streets will begin?

Or is it a different story when THEY are the ones to suffer a catastrophe?

Mariner, I love your profile page.

And I agree with whatever you said.

On my cell phone I can’t tell what people have said to me.

But I do know that I am fully on board! LOL!

There's a lot of vacant warehouse space in our big cities where ammonium nitrate can be stored.😎
