The Beirut explosion is the 5th largest non nuclear explosion in history.

I always wanted to see an exploded view of an exploding explosion.

Some folks still think it was fireworks. Looks far more like an Israeli hybrid weapon.

You can see how bad those buildings in the foreground got shredded. It's by the Grace of the Creator more people weren't killed.

Meanwhile...

Macron, UN host virtual donor conference to secure international aid for Lebanon

Three guesses where any money will go. It won't be to victims.

[Calvin Locke]

Halifax was my first guess.

Forgot about the N-1 rocket.

[wbarmy]

That is not fireworks going off. In other videos of fireworks accidents, some of them do what they are designed to do, produce multi-colored explosions and a light show. None of those small explosions produced any kind of light show at all, they were whipcrack explosions, rounds of some kind.

When I first saw this explosion, I said there was no way that was a fireworks explosion. There was too much potential energy being released in too short a time.

I know that fireworks explosions can be big, there was one in China a few years back, but, even watching that, it in no way had the same violence as the one in Beirut.

I thought the fireworks were small arms, which made me think it was a munitions dump. You know, when in North America and you hear hooves, you think horses, and not zebras. In the Middle East, when you see explosions, you think munitions, not fireworks.

It is pretty clear there were fireworks going off there before hand, so I was wrong in not buying what I thought was a cover story.

But it sure was more than fireworks. The force of that blast was astonishing. I don't know how many FPS that video was, but I went through it frame by frame, watching the blast wave advance, seeing buildings first shrug off decades of debris and dust as the leading edge approached, then disintegrating when the full blast hit.

In the last frame right before it hits the building in the foreground that is probably between 75-125 yards away, it looks like this from frame to frame:

And from June...

Hezbollah head prefers China to IMF for Lebanon bailout Hezbollah chief claims China is poised to fill Lebanon's economic gap through train, port and power plant outlays

[PIF]

Hezbollah controls the dock. Heavy weapons ammo storage and rocket manufacture. They were likely pumping diesel out of one of the two ships tied alongside probably the small one which was blown on shore. AN needs an accelerant like diesel to ignite.

Fire started in the “fireworks” storage warehouse, shell penetrated adjacent warehouse igniting the stored AN and rocket motors.

[ctdonath2]

Calling BS on “it was a missile” claims.
Plenty of documentation of what was stored there, badly. Wouldn’t take much to ignite it. Big boom.

[Getready]

Couldn’t see the “unseen” footage. Makes sense.

[PeteePie]

Amazing video bump and thanks.

[bert]

Yep..... not fireworks

[Getready]

AN can detonate on its own with correct temp and pressure. Accelerants do allow it to detonate easier. In Beirut there was enough accelerants around to allow easier detonation. Not too bright to keep the stuff stored in a large quantity...in a large city. Unless intentional.
The magnitude of this event could give some newbie very bad ideas.

[ZinGirl]

So I’m not crazy! (Well...debateable). I have watched so many videos of this explosion and on one I SWORE I saw a missile of some sort flying in from the righthand side. Figured I was just seeing things. (Prob still the case).

[Calvin Locke]

Yeah, but it was “fulfilling” its contract, still making the solid rocket fuel, storing it on site, even though the Challenger explosion halted the need for additional boosters for undetermined period at the time.

And oh, by the way, the plant was built over a major NG pipeline, which didn’t help after it was ruptured in the explosion.

[Joe Boucher]

Fireworks or a Iranian weapons depot?

[Steven W.]

WOW good find :)
