Impressive. Sure looks different than any fireworks I've ever seen at the end.

The big red cloud is consistent with strontium nitrate or strontium chloride, both used in fireworks.

So it could have been an Improvised explosive device / weapon of opportunity using fireworks? Hezbollah has been known to kill it's own people so they can blame others.

Are there firework factories in Lebanon? If so, there's one less.

Oh if you look closely you can see fireworks going off. The explosion is NOT due to fireworks, however... dumbass.

Slow your roll, man. You really need to go back and re-read exactly what I said. Feel free to expand on your latest conspiracy theory. As Ross Perot said. "we're all ears."

No theory at all, I'm calling you and Lebanese authorities dumbasses for believing it's fireworks causing the explosion.

He actually said, "I'm all ears". It was in response to what was wrong in the economy and he was open to suggestions to fix it. Pretty damn funny at the time.

How long before the USA gets blamed for it or they come asking for aid?

Nobody is probably going to get blamed for it. It was an accident at a "fireworks facility" and not Israel blowing up an Iranian and Hezzbollah missile/weapons facility.

Abbas Ibrahim, chief of Lebanese General Security, said it might have been caused by highly explosive material that was confiscated from a ship some time ago and stored at the port. Local television channel LBC said the material was sodium nitrate.

He did say that. Any chance if he mentioned where all the other missiles Iran has been sending Hezzbollah are being hidden. [winking]

For point of reference only 9 barrels of Ammonium Nitrate was used in Oklahoma City bombing. I'm assuming 55 gallon drum= barrel. I have no idea just looked it up on the internet. I don't keep thus type of details in my mind...like KKKountry super intellect does. He'd be perfect with his bullshitting and lying skills for a position at CNN. Could KKK possibly be Brian Stelter replacement in coming days? Shelter ignited a bomb a couple of days ago.

If you haven't visited the memorial in OK City I recommend that you do. If BLM doesn't destroy it.
