I also wonder if the explosion in Beirut is just another fireworks display or if it was something more. I don’t think it was nuclear, but it was as big as a nuke.
I went to this site: https://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/
I then put the epicenter at the port in Beirut and selected the hiroshima bomb. It created a SMALLER blast radius than this blast did. i.e. it may not have been a nuke, but it was as powerful as one.
But I may be off topic...
Difficult to tell from the video I saw.
My guess is that it was a bunker or a buried ammo magazine. Burying/confining something like that enhances the yield of the explosion.
It looked fairly large from the speed of the blast wave traveling 1st.
I’m not convinced it is not a conventional event.
And, there was a fire befire this, correct?
It was not as powerful as a nuke, even a suitcase one. MOAB, maybe. There were a half dozen flashes after the first explosion. Maybe the first explosion aerosolized some grain, secondaries tossed some airborne flammables and then Wham.
Now, I wonder who...
