Citizen Free Press ^ | 8/5/20

So this was not a fireworks/ammonium issue so much as a terrorist weapons issue.

Secondary explostion (ammonium nitrate) was bigger than the first one (weapons). Oh, well.

Can 2.7 kilotons of ammonium nitrate really be called a weapon of mass destruction?

I do not believe ammonium nitrate is highly explosive...from my experience in using it in mining, it has to be mixed with diesel fuel and the explosive compound is ANFO, ammonium nitrate fuel oil which is highly explosive.

An acquaintance from Lebanon is in contact with his family who live in the Beirut area said the explosion was unbelievable.
He also said there is strong suspicion that the explosion was of missiles recently delivered from Iran to Hezbollah. He said his brother said he heard jet engine noise prior to the explosion.

I'm not ruling anything out. The second big white boom was one BIG explosion, rather than a series of blasts. Any theory of what it was has to be consistent with that. Rocket fuel? Perhaps. But if so, an awful lot of it.

We may never really know the what the heck happened...but, considering the players I suspect evil activity.

Yes - is equivalent to small nuclear weapon in blast effect

Search TEXAS CITY EXPLOSION 1947 - Freighter being loaded with ammonium nitrate caught fire and exploded, set fire to another freighter filled with ammoniums bitrate fertilizer which exploded

Hundreds (some say thousands) killed in blasts and city was leveled

Pretty obvious to me the Mosad was involved in igniting the fuse on this one.

Given the questionable controls on what can operate at that warehouse in Beirut, here's one plausible explanation of what happened:

1. Somebody was doing arc welding on one of the warehouse building doors.

2. The spark from the welding may have set off the rockets from Iran stored there by Hezbollah, which explains the fireworks like explosions we saw initially in the video.

3. As more and more rockets "cooked off," it caused a massive chain reaction series of explosions, and created the conditions to set off that 2,750 tons of improperly-stored ammonium nitrate all at once.
