    That looks really horrible. Kind of amazing how many cameras just happened to catch the explosion.

    Shug, there are cell phones with cameras everywhere nowadays. The only place you can be yourself is in your own home and I wouldn't bet my last dollar on that.

    I'm thinking that it was an act of terrorism. They are saying that there was a plant that made fireworks in that area. Hmmmm?

    There was a fire first which probably brought out the cameras. That explosion almost looked nuclear. what was stored there I have seen fireworks manufactures burn nothing like that. It will be interesting if they find radiation.

    My God, no wonder they felt it in Cypress. Mossad will be blamed for this one as Hezbollah is headquartered in Beirut.

    Fireworks factory would have been a bunch of explosion not just one big one. I wonder if we will ever know the truth

    Death toll climbing which is no surprise. This will definitely impact Lebanon economically, big time. Beirut was, a long time ago, the London of the Levant. Then the evil reared its ugly head. It's been a mess for decades now. I remember our barracks of unarmed marines being blown to bits there. I guess, more to come. God bless those who are helping out in this disaster.

    Someone might want this moved into conspiracy forum, but it is all fact.
    Netanyaha warned the United Nations of Iranian Missile Stockpiles in Beirut back in 2018
    He had a map showing the exact place of the explosion.
    The Al-Arabiya news reports Massive blast in Beirut was at ammunition warehouse belonging to Hezbollah Terrorists
    Very interesting

    Now that I read your post, I'm wondering that as well. Weird, but precise moment it happened.

    Well, we heard it was bomb making material that was confiscated and very, very highly flammable. Also heard that the fire was started by mistake...........whatever "mistake" means.

    It was also reported that some grain silos, storing grain for food, were destroyed. Beirut was an economic mess before this happened and now, WOW!!
