I propose that from here on out that any reference to any post that contains BOOM!, BAM!, and or BOMBSHELL! must use this graphic as it defines all of the above

Question: The color of the smoke after the big BOOM!! appeared to be a reddish brown, almost rust color. I tried to do a search to determine what material could cause that color to appear, but came up empty. Does anyone here have an idea on that?

So maybe it was a harbor enlargement project. The port authority just forgot to warn everybody that the low bidder was going to complete the demolition in 1.3 nanoseconds

Strontium and lithium metallic salts burn red. Often used in the mix of fireworks to get the color. Copper burns blue. etc...

lithium perchlorate seems and odd thing for them to be stockpiling on the warf though.

From a muzzle perspective , that would be perfect.
Wouldn’t you think that may have been a commercial neighbourhood surrounded by warehouses .... seeing that its the port that got destroyed?

One explaination I found online.

in the explosion, not all of the ammonium nitrate is used up and exploded. Some of it decomposes slowly creating toxic gases like nitrogen oxides. It's these gases that are responsible for the red-brown plume of smoke seen in the aftermath of the Beirut explosion
