- Fing hell, that's going to cost a fortune to fix. Beirut has some of the most expensive properties in Med/World if I'm not mistaken? Perhaps Leb coast generallyNairn
- I wonder how far out the windows are fucked 'til. Poor bastards - going to be a shitty few weeks sleep for quite a few thousand people.Nairn

Maybe not in proximity of a fireworks factory ? Is it the downtown?drgs - Central district is nearby (apparently, wtf do I know?) but glass getting blown out I'm thinking must go on for km. Again, I know fuck all.Nairn
- Wait! I'm forgetting the inverse square law.
Still, a good distance. Mind you, it's ground level, so shockwave should 'mostly' go upwards.Nairn - This is why it's not a nuke. If you want to set off a nuke, you put it in a skyscraper.Nairn
- Those are some office buildings for sure, but seems odd to have a firework factory right in the middledrgs
- that's just the road next to the port. most of the damage was done in that area.********
- from what i've read there was storage of fireworks in proximity to storage of a mass of embargoed (wer) nitrates.
not sure there was a factory?Nairn - i think this'll be the first time in a long time that i give some paltry amount to a charity for this. Poor motherfuckers. So random, so absolutely fucking.Nairn
- 2020 just keeps giving. 4 months left.shapesalad
- Lebanon's Prime Minsiter Hassan Diab has said it is "unacceptable" that 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate were being stored in a warehouse.OBBTKN
- @sted - yup, you're totally right. Not sure what i was thinking. Big white block is RIGHT next to it. Can't imagine what it's like in there.Nairn
- 2,7kt!!OBBTKN
- The Oklahoma Bombing apparently used about 920Kg of ammonium nitrate, so this was just under three times as big a bomb, inadvertant as it seemingly wasNairn
- I'm now thinking that it's not entirely outwith the scope of some dedicated fucker to get a few tens of tons of this stuff and just drive it into a city.Nairn
- @Nairn nanah, i also had to puzzle out whats going on. the warehouses were on fire on both sides of that building what looks like a massive grain silo.********
- A container of this stuff, with a sensor that works out elevation and once it's onto a hoisting crane out of port BOOMPH. Rotterdam or Algeciras, gone.Nairn
- Aye, I didn't realise they were silos of some kind.. https://imgz.org/iAd… Seems like a bit of a stroke of luck for people behind them..Nairn
- Whatever it was, it wasn't on a boat. Ship here looks remarkably unbothered. Warehouse destroyed, I assume.
