From this angle, one can see and hear the fireworks exploding before the main powder magazine goes bang.

Beirut is now a fireworks producer, huh? Or they could buy from China for next to nothing. I have a problem with the "fireworks" narrative.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

Fireworks come in different styles. That boom wasn't the product of celebration fireworks.


I am..........disturbed.

Interesting.
Expansion like a sonic boom in the right conditions.
Vapor front obscuring the flame front.

.......... Beat me to it.... I'm guessing some military ammo storage facility or some other kind of military ordnance.

"Abbas Ibrahim, chief of Lebanese General Security, said the explosion might have been caused by highly explosive material that was confiscated from a ship some time ago and stored at the port. Local television channel LBC said the material was sodium nitrate."

Pulled that off of FoxNews website. Sounds like a fire got out of hand and got into some fireworks, and the other material was ignited.

one injured my a$$


They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Death toll will probably be in the hundreds, if not thousands.
