    Horrific. Israeli disproportionate response. War criminals. Sleepy Woke Joe’s first act should be to close the US embassy in Jerusalem.

    Reading up on it they say it's a place that houses "firecrackers".  I've never seen a fireworks building do that when it went off.

    There was a fireworks facility in China that blew up like this a couple years ago, so it definitely could be...

    ^^There is a video I found on the China incident.

    I'll be honest w you and say that doesn't look like the explosion in Lebanon.  This explosion had concussion behind it.  Reminded me more of the chemical plant that went up.

    There is more to that explosion than just fireworks.  That red smoke plume must mean something?

    Supposedly from what I read, building next door to fireworks stored nitrate. Double boom factor.

    Or you can believe Israel and they stored weapons there?

    Ammonium Nitrate is used as a fertilizer and an explosive or like you said, for fireworks.

    That is a lot of boom though.  Wow.

    That is terrible.  You can see cars stopping to look at it and unknowingly putting themselves right in the second blast zone.

    I see what you’re saying.  Not an explosive expert, so I have no idea :)  Crazy, though...I would have pissed myself if I was one of those people videoing this when it went up!

    edit: they are currently saying (and they are officials in lebanon) extremely explosive materials were being stored in a warehouse at the port, which somehow caught on fire, currently thinking is ammonium nitrate. 

    at least 30 dead and hundreds injured. hospitals are at capacity and turning injured away, telling them to go to the hospital in Tripoli.

    Red Cross says at least 50 fatalities and likely source of explosion was munitions/ explosives storage.
