Partner, all I can say is that the "Gutter Mooselimb Religion" is responsible for this bombing of this city of Beirut.

We had the ultimate Mooselimb as the POTUS in the U.S. and the "America Hating Nasty Mooselimb Piece of Work Obama" and Obama gave Hezbollah the ammunition to bomb all of the Israelis and Christians in the area.

Faster than the speed of sound?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The compression wave of the explosion was traveling about 5,600 miles per hour.

The speed of sound at sea level is 767 Miles per hour.

The compression wave of the explosion was traveling about &.3 times the speed of sound or Mach 7.3. No time to duck or run for shelter within 2 miles of the explosion.

The compression wave of the explosion was traveling about 7.3 times the speed of sound or Mach 7.3. No time to duck or run for shelter within 2 miles of the explosion.

You are correct.

From the footage, in my limited Army/Marine e-BDA opinion, the flashes and their sounds were from warhead detonator’s being set off.

As well, Lebanon has very limited “possible” related production at all -

And those types of nitrates would not arrive and derive from specialized Russian tank-containers in 2013-2014.

Contrasted with China, which makes about 95% of the worlds fireworks.

At one time in my life, I bought Ammonium Nitrate by the railcar.

Stored hundreds of tons of it.

I would think that much fertilizer would be unloaded with augers and conveyor belts.

There’s a lot to this story that doesn’t add up.

“And those types of nitrates would not arrive and derive from specialized Russian tank-containers in 2013-2014”

Should have read “nitrates probably shipped in specialized Russian containers...”
