Not sure about links from AP. clink on link to see.
Not fireworks.
Not credible explanation.
Shawarma stand on hamra street blew up.
Not fireworks. I heard the Lebanon government say they think it was a precursor chemical to black powder—potasstion nitrate—explode. That WOULD cause that kind of explosion.
If you watch most of the videos you can see small secondary explosions in the smoke. Those are the smaller fireworks “parts” going off—the kind you see on July 4th. Not firecrackers.
After those are going off, the large explosion happens. That was not a military explosion. It was not a car bomb. It was not a “rod from god.” The formation the blast is different than all of those.
And...it happened where there was a fireworks factory. Not a fireworks shop. Not a firecracker shop. A place where they manufacture large display fireworks.
A place like that WOULD have the necessary materials for an explosion.
This explosion, Covid19, floods in China, troop concentations on China/India border and locust swarms in China are all part of the End-Time signs.
Stone me and I’ll sue you.
Amonium nitrate(fertilizer) and diesel?.
Let me explain about the explosion type:
The explosion occured from the ground outward. A kinetic explosion would include debris from the kinetic force hitting the ground, and then exploding upwards and out.
This explosion started at ground level and water level. The whiteness of the explosion is water vapor from the sea and the air around the explosion. That would not happen with a kinetic explosion from the air.
The explosion is too big for a car bomb.
This was a boat or truckload of some chemical. The red smoke after the explosion is indicative of that. That would not be the case with a kinetic (dropped from the sky) impact.
A Kinetic impact would forma a mushroom cloud as well. (Even non nuclear explosions.). A kinetic explosion blows out, and then the air rushes back in, and upward. This is what causes the “hiroshima” clouds. That did not happen here.
Fireworks would be a long continuous explosion - as some cooked off, detonating others. It would probably be a seconds-long event comprised of thousands of smaller individual explosions. You would also expect to see dispersed explosions from un-detonated devices blown clear but on fire that then detonate.
Fertilizer, especially "just" fertilizer that hasn't been augmented to intentionally turn it into an explosive, should typically be a "low order" detonation. A large, relatively slow (by explosive standards) burn rate and detonation. This was a very "sharp" detonation that produced a visible shockwave and vapor cloud behind it. Sure, large chemical explosions (look up fertilizer plant / chemical plant explosions on YouTube) generate visible shockwaves... This subjectively looked much sharper. This looked like a more energetic fuel or ordnance.
OK, would a trailer full of stuff 10x more explodable that fertilizer diesel make sense?
You guys seem fixated on the fact this place had produced fireworks.
The place MADE fireworks. They do not come assembled. They are made in mass quantities, using chemicals that explode. Big containers full of those chemicals.
Those would not burn off slowly.
Just because they are in Beirut and they are surrounded by terrorists, does it mean their quality control in an explosive factory is any good.
Sometimes, stuff is EXACTLY how it appears.
Yes. The Space Ship Jerusalem is inbound, passing Mars as we write.
Get your good deeds in before its too late. You do not want to be on the other side of 144,001 in terms of being “elect.”
It seems that it was actually a large amount of nitrate that was seized and stored for several years at the port.
This of course begs the question as to whom set explosives or whatever next to it in order to get the whole thing to explode.
Maybe mortar rounds?
Why isn’t the explanation good enough for anyone. Sometimes fireworks factories blow up.
Now saying munitions being unloaded off ship
Yep
Not sure about the nitrate. My bet is still on some kind of high explosive, perhaps military explosives. Not sure we will ever be told.
maybe
“A Kinetic impact would forma a mushroom cloud as well.”
Some of the video’s showed just that, a mushroom cloud. But I don’t believe it was a bomb or missile.
This is a longer version of an earlier clip I saw from Venezuelan news source and from BNO.

I’m no fan of RT, but in this case I believe it is real.
Note the sparkles in the flame engulfed building close to the larger one that was demolished.
(Hezbollah is centered in Beirut, Hezbollah has large presence in Venezuela, a Venezuela news source was the first one I saw on Twitter, there is a report that the past Prime Minister of Lebanon’s headquarters were destroyed by the blast.) Coincidence? I doubt it.
Yes, fireworks...
I believe that
