Begs the question “HOW dead?”

 

[cannabineer]

Massive explosion in Beirut perhaps an hour ago. The sheer size of the Wilson cloud (the cloudy ball expanding at the speed of sound) suggests maybe a hundred tons of high explosive.

Only non-nuclear event I’ve seen that compares was the rehearsal for Trinity, which used 89 tons of Composition B (a castable mix of TNT and RDX).

Still can't believe the lakes gone....

They've gated the entrance I almost bet after they sell the land off they will fix the lake and poorboye like me will not be welcome anymore.

Was only like 10 miles down the road, and it was free.

They’re saying it was a fireworks factory

Yeah, apparently it followed an explosion 15 seconds prior.

Another vid. Some angles show the first blast center surrounded by flashes and sparkles from fireworks. I’m surprised stored fireworks could produce what looks like a genuine detonation, the defining action of high explosives.

That helps. Most fireworks are based on black powder, which is the poster child for low explosive. I wondered if they were using chlorate or perchlorate, both of which can detonate.

if that was fireworks, that was a big ass one to go up

now they're kinda saying they don't know what went up, they're also trying to do the blame game too now.......

this remind me of the china blast in tangin, but that was at night and a heck of a lot larger

Right after I got out of the national guards my unit was activated to pull guard around a magazine explosion.

It was bad, took days to find everybody..

I spent one hole summer there hanging out with the owner as a kid, was just like two blocks from my aunt's farm.

you could see it peeling the roofs off buildings as the shock wave moved

yep the one in China was actually worse overall with it's destruction.....

I can't believe they allow explosive things like that to be in heavy residential areas.
