Rumor circulating it was a weapon mfg underground meant for Israel...saying major destruction 6 miles out!! Not one person filming stayed on their feet. One hell of a kaboom.

This ^^ And Israel Mossad (their CIA) set them off.

amazing...I wish there was some sort of comparison to other known explosive munitions / damage like the OK City or Daisy cutter / MOAB to get an idea of what we are looking at here.

“”On August 4, a major fire broke out in the Port of Beirut, which caused several fireworks to catch on fire. It spread further to the stored ammonium nitrate, which then detonated, causing many damages to the nearby region. Currently, more than 3700 injuries and 73 deaths have been confirmed. (Note: This situation is still ongoing.)“”

It happened in West a few years back. Right up the road.

Watch some of those videos in slow Mo, and watch the ground and streets ripple away from the blast site....unreal.

Would Sodium nitrate have a reddish color or hint to something else?? You can really see it in the beginning of these two vids.
