Huge explosion, but definately not nuclear, the EMP pulse would have knocked out the camera and the initial flash would have left the guy looking at it blind.

One, a dust explosion. Grain elevators explode but a more common one would be fumes from fuel from a tanker that has not been properly vented.


Wrong!

I should have looked at additional videos before commenting. Saw one video that must have been real close to the building that was on fire. Did see a lot of small “explosions”. Still don’t believe it was “firework” factory.

What ever caused the explosion, there is no doubt it was massive.

I am with you on that.

The blast went off way to large to be the others.

I would bet that the terrorists had a stash in with the rest of the fireworks to hide it and it all went off at once after the fire got to it.

fireworks.

I agree, it was not nuclear, but likely military ordinance. Lebanon is awash in missiles stored in residential areas, basically daring the Israelis to take them out.

My guess is that this was a work-accident. Second most likely hypothesis, Mossad operation.

Haven’t read all the way down yet.. but, on a conservative show (I think it was Dana Leasch) a few minutes ago, it was said that it was nitrates that they had (for some stupid reason) stored next to a fireworks factory that accidentally went off...

We will, for sure, learn more within the next day, or so..

Here is another view much closer to the blast. Watch the low building in front of the fire.

A fuel air bomb requires an air drop.

No, it requires (optimal) dispersal of the flammable vapors prior to ignition. Air drop is one delivery method.

Fire works! Don’t make me laugh. That was military grade high explosives. Look how fast the shock wave travels. Fireworks are around 1200 fps, high explosives is 2300 to 5000 fps.

Absolutely ZERO chance that is fire works.

Modern humans do not put “fire works” factories down town in cities. Muslims do put ammo dumps.

Could have been amonium nitrate (fertilizer) like was used in Oklahoma City.

When was the last time we had images of Lebanese celebrating with fireworks?

Most likely a weapons assembly plant.

You can see small cook-offs but nothing shooting out of the first fire like a bottle rockets or mortars.

Just my take.

It is all guess work at this time...

We may or may not ever know depending on the real cause. What I am sure of is that A) it was not nuclear, B) not fireworks, C) not a air dropped bomb.

D - it was one massive explosion.

(Anyone that grew up in the 1950s would know how to “duck and cover” not that anyone had time for it.

Great photo.

Aside from the fire and brimstone thing, it reminds me of how the third world is so stuck on concrete and cinder blocks.
