Shockwave felt for miles! 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded! Can anyone translate what the guy is saying in the video? It is like he saw the missile? He raises his tone right before the explosion. some kind of advanced weapon there.. a ring rising through the shock wave. Alright. I managed to pause the video and take a screenshot. At first I thought it was the sun reflecting off the object. Yet, now I am wondering if it was thrusters of some kind. Like maybe the object sped up or had to change direction. Or maybe the trail came into focus. Yes there is a bird in the video flying the other way up close. But that is not a bird that comes shooting in from the top left out in the distance and heads into the smoke. It is way to fast to be a bird. The guy seems to see the object because his voice raises. This is before the explosion. [link to imgur.com (secure)] [link to imgur.com (secure)] A somewhat close up of the object. Anyone know what the white flash is? Light reflecting? Missile Trail? Thrusters? The object moving into focus? It is pixely. Whatever this object is, it moves very fast and goes into the smoke just before the explosion. It would make sense to send the weapon in through the direction of the smoke so that it is not seen. |

Yep, them boys that know that the ammonium nitrate gets injected under the corn seed when planting so that the plant roots reach down for it when its growing strong and that nitro-methane is top fuel in drag racing, probably know that ANNM produces a very nice high order detonation. Bottom line dont mess with drag racing corn farmers... |

This is 2700 tons. So you’d need 1350 rental vans worth in size. I don’t think this port could accommodate anything like that in volume. Second you need something else mixed with ammonium nitrate. Just AN on its own will not explode like this. |

If you're going off peoples cries for God, it is because "Allah" is God in Arabic. Most of the people killed today were Christians. SOOOOO sorry,,, not in the US...... obviously....

Interesting. The shills began pushing that line almost immediately in the thread. Also fireworks factory. Claims a ship full of it was confiscated. First it was years ago then it was a months, now it's a few weeks. The amounts of AN keep increasing as well. Lots of disinformation agents all over this one. |

Shockwave felt for miles! 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded! what is funny the lebanese admitted the 2 kiloton + explosion. Who would store so much ammonium and how it would explode all at the same time? Ammonium chain reaction? We all saw that cloud instantaneously, and not series of smaller blasts. The official theory sucks! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78946379 Trump at least says what he thinks, unlike others. I dont agree with him on many things, but now he has to receive credit for speaking out. If it is an attack, and if Trump is ally of Israel, why would Trump admit it was an attack if it is done by Israel? Also, it is very suspicious the Lebanese are hiding behind fake theories. Why would they do that, if they were attacked by israel? Wouldn't they cry to the whole world? They're hiding what they were doing in Warehouse 12 - the reason it was hit in the first place. Somebody knows what they are hiding and where it was. |

Shockwave felt for miles! 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded! That was a nuke so says my ex-RAF pilot friend whose father was a Chief engineer on Christmas Island during the tests. Quoting: Lance Roseman From BC There's a voice I trust. Still, he could be off because you have to be precise with the scale to be sure. One chap over at r/physics use pixel count and building size to estimate the blast yield here as .7 kilotons. Hiroshima was 15 kilotons with a blast radius of one mile. MOAB is only 11 tons and 150m. Hard to be precise, but it does seem to be in between those in scale, and so an explosion of an unusual size in that sense. So I'm looking at "nukemap" a nuclear bomb blast simulator on the interweb which allows drivers of the information superhighway to see how big various nukes in various places would be. [link to nuclearsecrecy.com (secure)] There actually ARE nuclear weapons that are on that scale. The closest fits include: B-61 Mod 3: current smallest nuke in US arsenal = 300 tons North Korea test 2006: 500 tons aka .5 kilotons. .7 kilotons looks about right to me, although maybe a bit bigger even, like .9 or 1 killoton. Next I guess we could see how much space 2750 tons aka 5,500,000 lbs of fertilizer takes up. If it was a nuke then why did somebody nuke that port in particular? Alternatively, was a nuke being delivered somewhere and somebody bombed it and it went off? I didn't think nukes could go off when they were blown up due to the complex nature of the implosion based detonator. There have been a lot of explosions in the region lately, presumably the US and Israel blowing up weapons belonging to Iran and co. Maybe there was a lot more stored there than they thought there was. |

Shockwave felt for miles! 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded! This is 2000 pounds going up. Looks like a fraction of the Beirut bombing 2800 TONS, not lb nukes always have a blinding flash, this is just a huge pressure wave. no flash, no nuke. From what video I have seen, there is no pixel sparkling on the digital cameras, I think nukes, even small nukes cause pixel flashing on digital recordings. There were videos online that show this and it is supposed to be evidence of a tactical nuke. Not that I am an expert but it seems logical? |

Quoting: HairyBarbarian At that location. That had probably paid/ the bribes for passage - to somewhere other than Idlib or the torture camps - not knowing they were being sent to other death/ torture camps. The alternate plan to kill them has downed operation and so this was the alternative. Beirut was probably involved at the higher level - you get a payment. HairyBarbarian |
