2,750 Tonnes Of Ammonium Nitrate Exploded: Lebanon PM On Beirut Blasts
"It is unacceptable that a shipment of 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate has been present for six years in a warehouse, without taking preventive measures," he said at a defence council meeting, a spokesman told a press conference.

Thats one of the worst conspiracy sites on the net. Lots of food for people who crave it yet nothing he reports ever comes to fruition.
That’s great, I’m happy about your good health.
HMMMmmm...
Look at the middle imagery set
If you want a good book on the Texas City disaster, read “City On Fire” by Bill Minutaglio.
An epic retelling of what happened that day.
Interesting
From Russia with love.
You want to take that statement back since it’s now come out that in 2008 Benjamin Netanyahu went on TV and reported that this building was used to house weapons/missiles for terrorist. You do realize that the word Conspiracy theory was created by the CIA to put down legitimate concerns of corruption by them?
Most likely.
Iranian missile depot. Warheads blew first before propellant cooked off, giving the tremendous explosion.
Probably the work of Israelis / Saudis / GCC, using new technology weaponry.
It precisely excised the “fireworks warehouse”.
How did the buildings get flattened that were located BEHIND the silos?
Massive munition explosion. The pressure wave speed is tremendous. according to upthread posts, the speed of ammonia nitrate explsoion pressure wave is 2500 meters per second. That’s about 1.5 miles per second, 0r about 5,600 miles per hour.
If you were within 2 miles of that explosion and saw the flash, you might have a second to dive for cover. The people of Beirut didn’t have any chance if they were within 2 miles of the explosion.
If this was an attack, there is a butchers bill to repay.I suspect the US military forensic teams already know .
Yes. I knew from the outset there is no way that force of explosion was contained in fireworks. The substance, whatever it was, I knew had far, far greater potential energy stored it in than fireworks.
My first thought was a rocket fuel explosion. Like the one at the PEPCON plant in Nevada which involved ammonium perchlorate.
Concussion?
Bad construction?
I’m no structural engineer. Have no clue.
Faster than the speed of sound?
Wrap around effect?
definitely!
