Beirut Explosion

That's a shitload of Tannerite.

Is CNN blaming Trump yet?

Here another view of the crater.

It's kinda strange to see the grain silo still partially standing next to a crater. I'm not completely surprised though because that is A LOT of mass when full, it seems to have absorbed a lot of the blast.

Even more surprising to me is that the buildings on the left side of the silo, as seen in this picture, are gone. I would think they would have been protected by the still partially standing silo that would have redirected the blast around them...but nope. They're gone too.

So the official story is the fireworks breached a fuel supply and flooded the ammonium nitrate? Hahaha

I don't believe you need anything more than the ammonium nitrate and gobs of heat. That place in waco (actually, West,, TX) popped when a fire got into their ammonium nitrate storage. Color of the cloud was nowhere near orange though.

My 2 cents on hyper paranoid tin foil hat theory.

[hyper paranoid tin foil hat theory.]
It is Japanses operative retaliating on Lebanon for not handing Carlos Ghosn back to Japan.

You can see how the pressure from the blast actually pushed in the sides of the car as the shock wave moved through from passenger side to drivers side.

At least their suffering was minimal.
