That might have been dicey living that close to the shock. I am guessing many will be clinging to life in the next few days.

Hell was unleashed today on this normally quite pleasant place. Great people and very proud and happy people the last time I checked. Even bad people don't deserve what happened there.

Re: RIP reports this journalist died in beirut explosion. extremly graphic. Right from epicenter. truly shocking.
It's been several years, but I am prior US Army Infantry and I have trained in demolition. I remember Ammonium Nitrate explosives being discussed and I know it must be mixed with fuel oil of some type (such as diesel) and tamped down, and needs to be initiated with a smaller charge. Did they store that shit in such a way? I don't know of any other way AN could be made to explode. Also, it looks way too fast to be AN, it's more of a pusher than a shattering force. Anybody with more knowledge please chime in....

Re: RIP reports this journalist died in beirut explosion. extremly graphic. Right from epicenter. truly shocking.
It might have been a nuke!!! Small one..

Watch first link and video in thread on first page first message.

Watch frame by frame from six seconds to eight

Before big explosion and ignition, bright ass flash but not bright as in a big large nuke, bright flash for a small mini nuke just to Do enough damage on explosion.

Also explosion was above shallow water or so close to the water, explosion used water as a concussion device/tool that helped the controlled explosion jump out and do. 360 with the shock wave.

In other words, the first small explosion in very first early released videos was a decoy/prepper for the second one.

Got everyone to watch and get close.

This was a very smart planned event that can look like an industrial accident but closer inspection and it’s not..

I agree, it sure doesn't look like an accidental explosion of AN and fireworks. There exists very advanced hybrid weapons that are not exactly nuclear but are extremely enhanced. I don't know if they leave a radiological trace or not.Hope somebody runs some dosimetry over the rubble.

I counted roughly 13 car lengths from the videographer to the corner of the white building.

The shockwave takes about 1/32nd of a second to travel from the corner of that building until the camera is taken out.

13 x 13 ft = 169 feet in 1/32 of a second.

So blastwave traveling 5,408 feet per second.

it easier this way amd saved a messy ground


war the first explosion was onsite material


second is a tactical weapon strike


notice their are no videos being circulated



of the first explosion



we are talking about a straight out defeat



Lebanon is an early loser in ww3


everything city officials say will


be directed by the enemy


ie their masters



fog of war



you never know who the enemy is



cud be anybody


just like sept 11



you have to say in reality


the US was the first country


defeated in the opening salvo of ww3


in sept11


oil industrial mil vs the world imo :D


very messy to seperate combatants


anyone who dosnt have a control or hand


in large amounts of oil money or heavy weapons

In this video

[link to twitter.com (secure)]

Go to 30 second mark full screen and playback frame to frame.

Bright flash then explosion again just like the other references video and analysis...

Small bright flash from a small mini nuclear device or energy weapon...

Reason you can’t see bright flash when playing video at normal FPS, the flash is too fast even for camera... depending on shutter speed of camera during recording of video and event..

All of this strategically planned, timing, location, decoy, main, everything..

If whoever did it this smart, well take your guesses....

Coincidentally, something in news online today about north Korea and ability to make mini nukes for missles or something..

 Quoting: Rodulf 75873906


I'm leaning towards lead azide. For blast velocity, highest density explosion (levels entire area), and used in secondary detonations.

Lead azide (Pb(N3)2) is an inorganic compound. More so than other azides, Pb(N3)2 is explosive. It is used in detonators to initiate secondary explosives.


The US had so much lead azide after 'nam, it quit manufacturing it because they had nowhere left to stockpile.
