Nope. Grain silos, too. /s
With that blast wave and plume, it looked like a tactical nuke.
No EMP. Not a nuke
“2.7 kilotons”
Well, it would be 2.7 kilotons if it were 2700 tons of TNT. ANFO is only about 80% as powerful as TNT, so more like 2.2 kilotons.
Earlier today I was asked what I thought about Beirut. I said he was the best slugger in baseball!
“Highly explosive materials,” seized by the government years ago, were stored where the explosions occurred, said Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim,
Highly explosive? I would have never guessed that.
Lebanon is essentially a puppet state of Iran though.
Looked just like West Tx to me
I think the locals there, the regular folks, are already blaming Israel/U.S.
That’s a lotta virgins
“2700 tons Ammonium nitrate in 2nd blast.”
If it was sodium nitrate (as another report indicated: https://www.wsj.com/articles/lebanon-struck-by-blast-at-beirut-port-11596556605 ), I’m guessing it was propellant for the manufacture of rockets and missiles - a specialty of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
IMHO it was self evident that this was some sort of weapons cache.
Fireworks does not go BANG like THAT !!
Alleged weapons depot. Anecdotal explosions.

France’s turn now

I think Lebanon has been showing some signs of independence recently. Maybe the Iranians wanted to take them down a notch.
They were very proud of their rebuilt downtown, which of course is a ruin now. In one photo, I saw the interior of a new shopping mall, where young women in modern clothes were bleeding and sobbing...or crushed under display cases or lying dead in the aisle. Very, very sad.
