Helical Nightmares posted:I have heard some news agencies say that they analyzed the explosion footage and you could see flares of light going off in the black cloud. They claim that could be the fireworks. https://twitter.com/umashankarsingh/status/1290683113224327168?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw You can see a lot of small explosions in this video. So they may have had fireworks stored there but not enough to flatten the port.

Helical Nightmares posted:Yeah that's good footage of the flashes, and the secondary explosion in general. Yeah, we'll probably have to wait and see if any security cam footage exists/hasn't been destroyed.

As bad as this is it could have been worse. The same thing happened in China 5 years ago but only 800 tonnes of ammonium nitrate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=993wlZ6XFSs

Do it ironically posted:If the nitrate story is true it’s really odd they’d just keep that large a quantity of extremely explosive material by a firework? factory let alone even just having it sit by a port The PM of Lebanon says it's true. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/aug/05/beirut-blast-what-we-know-so-far Lebanon’s prime minister, Hassan Diab, said the cause of the explosion was 2,700 tonnes of ammonium nitrate. Diab declared a national day of mourning for the victims of the explosion. The warehouse that authorities claim was the site of the blast had been the subject of warnings going back to 2014, he said. He would “reveal facts” about the warehouse soon, he said, but did not want to pre-empt an investigation.

I didn't know how nice Beirut looked before the blast. Downtown Beirut was really pretty.

cwinkle posted:Does ammonium nitrate exist for some reason other than catastrophic explosions? Who make this stuff? Can we stop it at the source? Why does Beirut have a fireworks factory nextdoor to where they store this? Is this exact situation taking place next to me? Yes. Big Fertilizer. No. Why not? Yes.

Ultimately the responsibility should fall on the government, especially if it's true that inspectors had pointed out the risks of storing ammonium nitrate, on a couple of occasions. It won't though.Colonel Cancer posted:Why is everyone ignoring the fat goon holding up that building lmao.

Hope all those people got far enough away before the big explosion.

Bronze Fonz posted:That's insane, like a lot of other videos where people are fairly close enough that you expect them to be turned to mush... my notion of the laws of physics are pretty messed up right now. That was just the first blast, not big one.

Oh. If that was the big one I wonder how that guy survived?ROFLBOT posted:There was two distinct blasts? Havent seen that on any other footage? That's what's been reported. mallratcal fucked around with this message at 04:22 on Aug 7, 2020 |

bonelessdongs posted:I mean he's probably questioning how he managed to be that close to something that deleted an entire port without dying Well that was likely the first blast. But if you don't think he's running at the end I'm interested in what you think is happening.

Maybe posted earlier in the thread but Wired did an article on the physics of the explosion. https://www.wired.com/story/tragic-physics-deadly-explosion-beirut/
