Aftermath Of Beirut Explosion, At Least 300,000 Homeless, 135 Dead

Click to see full-size image

Following the explosion in Beirut on August 4th, Lebanese officials estimated damages from the blast between $10 billion and $15 billion as new drone and satellite images are being published online to show the aftermath.

Images from before and after the explosion show a once-thriving club and dining district shrouded in broken glass and debris, while damage to buildings can be seen extending several kilometres away throughout the city.

Beirut Governor Marwan Abboud said the blast had left nearly 300,000 people homeless and caused up to $US15 billion in damages, according to Al-Hadath TV.

The death toll is at least 135, but the search for bodies is on-going.

More than 5,000 people were injured.

Drone footage revealed the blast tore open a silo structure, dumping its contents into the debris. Estimates suggested about 85% of the country’s grain was stored there.

“Beirut as we know it is gone and people won’t be able to rebuild their lives,” said Amy, a woman who was sweeping glass from the street surrounding a building that once housed the work of a famous Lebanese designer.

“This is hell. How are [people] going to survive? What are they going to do?” she said, blaming “stupidity” and a lack of responsibility by officials for the blast.

The World Bank Group said it stood ready to assess Lebanon’s damage and needs, and would work to help mobilize public and private financing for reconstruction and recovery.

In a statement, the group said it would also be “willing to reprogram existing resources and explore additional financing to support rebuilding lives and livelihoods of people impacted by this disaster”.

Nations including Greece, Kuwait and Qatar have sent planes loaded with medical equipment and supplies to Beirut’s international airport.

Two planeloads of French rescue workers and aid headed to Beirut and French President Emmanuel Macron is also to arrive on August 6th to offer support to the former French protectorate.

Turkey sent search-and-rescue teams, humanitarian aid, medical equipment and a field hospital, its foreign ministry said.

The EU planned to send firefighters with vehicles, dogs and equipment designed to find people trapped in debris.

There have been conflicting reports of what caused the blast. Initially the explosion was blamed on a major fire at a warehouse for firecrackers near the port. But on the morning of August 5th, Prime Minister Hassan Diab said that about 2,750 metric tons of ammonium nitrate, a highly explosive material, had been stored at the port for the past six years “without preventive measures.” That remains as the official reason, with much speculation going around in media.

Diab announced an investigation into the explosion, saying the probe would include “revelations that will be announced about this dangerous warehouse which has been present since 2014.”

“I will not rest until we find those responsible for what happened, hold them accountable, and impose maximum punishment,” he said in a statement, saying it was “unacceptable” that so much ammonium nitrate had been stored “while endangering the safety of citizens.”

There are also videos showing more disturbing images.

Zionism = EVIL

This Americunt and Zionist attempt to destabilize Lebanon has already backfired as Hezbollah and Iran are leading the recovery effort. Iran has sent 7 aircraft loaded with supplies, field hospital and field kitchens.

https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0cd7602ea44adda7aa5976cdc81efa53945c46f437e64658a163f7954c0313d7.jpg

Zionism = EVIL

Iranian military teams first responders in Beirut.

Iran’s highest-ranking military commander voiced the Armed Forces’ readiness to help Lebanon handle the situation in the wake of a fatal blast that has displaced some 300,000 citizens in Beirut. Chief ofStaff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri sent separate messages to Commander of the Lebanese Armed Forces General Joseph Aoun and to Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Wednesday, offering his condolences over the deaths and injuries in the huge blast that rocked Beirut on Tuesday.

Major General Baqeri said the Iranian Armed Forces are fully prepared to provide rescue and relief aid for the people of Lebanon.

occupybacon

Where’s the Chinese aid?

Zionism = EVIL

Only words so far.

Jens Holm

I dont think so. Its also imprtant to send what they actualy need and fx China actually has.

There are phases too. One is rescuing lives. Thats also electricity.

In the next phas a lot of heave machines for cleaning are needed.

So much destroyed made of iron, concrite and glass should be recycled. Lebanon already has mountains for skiing.

Traiano Welcome

They’re not going to get anything through their own watertight network of sanctions …

guest

US is bring “democracy” this time with Ammonium Nitrate bombs but no humanitarian aid.

Jens Holm

Its not like that. We cant send most of the help, if we dont know, what they need.

Food fx is the easy part. We fx has some smaller but good hospitals but they cant just be used random by random persons.

occupybacon

China is the second financial superpower, very close to USA. Sending consistant and visible aid around the world would work wanders their image, like when Putin sent those cargo planes to Italy but the Chinese seem to be a bit stingy.

Zionism = EVIL

Chinese are as stingy as Jews. Their quest for the “dola” fucked up the Americunts as they pushed more and more cheap consumer goods into the west. China has no history of ever providing humanitarian aid . It is basically a Islamic and Christian tradition based on religious teachings. Why do you think we only have the Red Crescent and Red Cross in the world?

occupybacon

Yep, I thought so

Jim Allen

Red Cross is Rothschild owned. Likely Red Crescent, too. Donate 1 fiat US Petrobuck to Red Cross, and 10 cents of that dollar finds it’s way to those in need. Charities aren’t always all they’re cracked up to be.

Jens Holm

Nobody want to owe somebody like You, People pay You to go away.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Red_Cross_and_Red_Crescent_Movement

Jens Holm

Jews are not stingy at all. Jews donate a lot of money to a lot of things many see every day. Its no wonder, if they may have very good reasons to be it against You.

I again will defend and explain the Chinese. They come from a very low level. But today they have builded millions af housings, they have jobs, they have transportation, the have health care(som oldy) and they have hospitals.

So I see them as they now are much much better at least to take care of their own making the cake for the world(and mainly themself) better.

You ignore the reasons for fx old red crescents and fx seeing people as civilans AND soldiers are based on how terrible things were here in Europe with plundering armies and Kings.

UN is same thing. After the devastating second war for the whole world Humans rights and programs to solve things were made. Parts might not work well and fair and has become too political, but the base was so many in big problems according even simple need ad well as if they had to flee and be resettled.

You are right about the traditions but have to include the bad ones. I dont know how things are and where, where there are not many Christians, Jews and Muslims.

But I do know they also take care of people and shold not be descriebed as worse then us.

d'Artagnan

Chinese are only interested in profit. Humanitarianism is not part of their culture. It is only found in Islamo-Christian teachings, like charity and goodwill.

The Farney Fontenoy

I should point out, that, ‘aid’ always comes with long strings attached.

Jens Holm

Only sometimes as fx like Russians send propaganda to Italy …

Jens Holm

I understand the Chinese. They still have several 100 milions being very poor and they by that also has no traditons.

For me the worst problems for Beirut and for that matter Lebanon are, that the right ones gets the right help.

We have seen many kinds of help taken and after that even being sold to the ones, we donate for. Assads and Houtis has done that and do.

It also very much about the correct things in a time table and often the distributing can be non existing and having dark corners and too much help other places.

So its very much about professionales AND added local knowledge. UN has it, NGOs a fx Red cross has it, many miliray forces has it too.

Next is tool for it. Beirut is lucky. Its low distance with many people and even many cars has been sdestryed many small ones can do a lot.

The worst might be the local corruption, whiere the worst worries might be the extra needed for all kinds of medical care and anestesia morfin included. That also included insulin and all the ones, which are preskripted medicine by known diagnoses,

So far Denmark only has given some few money and 2 logistic experts, but I am sure many will contribute to this.

occupybacon

I think Assad and Houthis blown up the azotate so they can steal your aid.

Concrete Mike

Yes its like that, time is for action, not talk.

Now is not the time for your trolling, gtfo!

Zionism = EVIL

A former member of the Israeli parliament (Knesset) has expressed glee over a massive blast that the Lebanese capital, describing the tragic incident, which has left many dead or injured and destroyed much of a city, as a “gift” from God for a Jewish festival.

In a post on his Facebook page on Wednesday, far-right Zehut party leader Moshe Feiglin said the devastating explosion was just in time for the so-called “Holiday of Love.”

“Today is Tu B’Av, a day of joy, and a true and huge thank you to G-d and all the geniuses and heroes really (!) who organized for us this wonderful celebration in honor of the day of love,” he wrote. “Marking Tu B’Av holiday, we’ve got a fantastic fireworks show from Beirut’s port.

d'Artagnan

Disgusting Zionists.

Jens Holm

Its time for both and long time help as well.

If I provoke its because You normally are kept in the deep dark state made and kept well by Yourself. You make it by 1001 excuses and confirm it among each others. Facts are not even allowed even I am nice helping You by many good links – and just at thos side, I by that are named as just as neutral as CNN.

I am my own and I read ABC, CBC and Fox news from there too as well as I read many newssites from the Middle East as well as I have my own in my own country.

Its more “anti trolling” as I see it.

Traiano Welcome

“We cant send most of the help, if we dont know, what they need.”

Idiots then. That’s like a doctor saying “I can’t cure you, dear patient, because you haven’t told me what you need!”

On the other hand, competent people like the Russians, Chinese and Iranians *know* what is needed and deliver it without asking.

Jens Holm

No its not. You are an iddiot in logistics and planning for today as well as the future.

It has been highly visible many times. In low distribution channels, they dont need tons and toons of toys for the children. They dont need rotten mountains of food on the harbour but vehicles and expertice to distribute the help.

I know Your logic thinking well. Kurds has taken all the oilfields DA DARH. But thats not true. Assads has about a third of them and are so stupid, they cant repair ot and control i from ISIS. And the SDF kurds cant take any oil up from there, because oil equipment is totally destroyd. And if they did, where should they sendit to???

So SDFs make fuel for own purpose and a small export too. And enemies of them as usual forget, they before ISIS took it from Assads, the non Baathists got ABSOLUTLY NOTHING.

Traiano Welcome

Sorry. My Gibberish translator is broken today. Try English?

Zionism = EVIL

Two cargoes arrived in Beirut on Wednesday, after a first load of Iranian aid was delivered the day before, shortly after the blast. First Iranian rescue teams were on the ground in Beirut within 7 hours of the blast. Several Iranian military and civilian relief flights have landed since then.

Along with the supplies, a large medical team, including general practitioners, orthopedists, anesthesiologists, operating room specialists, pediatricians, neurologists, nurses and field hospital experts arrived Lebanon on Wednesday.

The team will create a Rapid Deployment Hospital (RHD) in Lebanon’s capital.

Fine. But there soon will be a distribution problem of there are no very good in logistics as well as doing it as feet on the ground.

IRAN CONDUCTS LARGEST 48 HOUR AIRLIFT IN HISTORY

The head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society, Karim Hemti, announced on Thursday, the dispatch of several planes filled with humanitarian aid to Lebanon.

The President of the Red Crescent Society stated that the first two Iranian planes were carrying 15 tons of medical materials and medicines, 45 tons of food, and a field hospital that will be established in Beirut in coordination with the Lebanese Red Cross, accompanied by 22 specialist doctors and 16 civil defense personnel.

“We will be with the Lebanese people, and we will prepare more assistance according to the field conditions and needs in the coming days,” he added.

Traiano Welcome

It’s there. CGTN is documenting it – check on Youtube. PLA was already present under UNIFIL, they then immediately branched off to open Chinese field hospitals.

Jens Holm

So where are all the others sending a lot and asking for, rhat they need: As usual they are censured away and if not biosed upside down.

There is nothing strange in Iranians already being occupiers and friends with Assads and Hesbolla is there. Maybee they are the reason for all Corona treatments are suspended there too.

d'Artagnan

Kudos to Iran and its people for their great humanitarian effort. There is immense goodwill towards Iran in the Armenian enclave of Al-Marfaa which suffered extensive damage and casualties. Iranians have set up a field hospital there. God bless Iran and its noble people.

Traiano Welcome

and you will hear nothing of this in the mainstream media.

Jens Holm

The usual crap. I would like a long list of people and organisations there, which dont help or even block it.

THANK YOU.

It seemes You also only know very few mainstream medias and even think ME is the center of the world.

But I see many of You well. Trump, Seatle and Corona sis descriebed as some amusemnet park, where the dollar the last couple of months has been pric´dicted a collapsed every day.

And if so: What is collapse. Is it replacing dollars with liras or rials:)

Yesterday it was Macron and the comming French collapse. It was written, for those who can read, that Macron was a cheep unpopular commercial seen from most Lebanese.

Who do they prefare. Os it Aoun. Is it Nasralla. I saw on TV Macron could go free in the streets and people welcommmed him. Sure, they as minimum like him much more then the local incompetent corrupters.

If it was election day, he would be President there too. Do Lebanin have any alternatives Og no they are kept down hard.

Dick Von Dast'Ard

$15 billions of estimated damage… To a country struggling to raise $15. How will Lebanon pay for the reconstruction? What deal will have to be made in exchange for international ‘assistance’ from the globalist financiers?

Zionism = EVIL

It would be difficult, so far Iran and Russia have come in with medical supplies, the Arab petro-pimps nothing, not even condolences. France is broke but at least Macron is going there on Thursday may give a a few million. It will be left to Hezbollah and Iran to do the heavy lifting.

Dick Von Dast'Ard

I strongly suspect Lebanon will be selling maritime rights.

Zionism = EVIL

Lebanon is part of the One belt, second tier, but as you saw from the photos, it infrastructure is very primitive. Beirut port still had 1960’s manual cranes and no automation. Even the smallest Iranian port of Jask and Chah Bahar more advanced with multiple RORO and docking berth and magnetic offloading.

https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5c9c7ea896e13d060178c0d704e061aae225e46611ad272e81597c65f69ea9c0.jpg

Dick Von Dast'Ard

My guess is that Qatar and Turkey will be making a big play.

Zionism = EVIL

Lebanese hate the Turks due to Ottoman atrocities, There are half a million Armenians who have not forgotten anything and Lebanon is a Shia majority country, so I think Turkey has ZERO chance, but Qatar will help as it has normal relations with Iran. China so far is quiet.

Dick Von Dast'Ard

Qatar is also the finance behind the Erdogan sultanate too, isn’t it? Seem to have read that the Armenian population within Lebanon got badly whacked in the accident. Turkish deployment sent to Azerbaijan recently as a side note.

Zionism = EVIL

Yes, the primary backer of Americunt supported Muslim Brotherhood. There is good article on Plato’s Guns I had posted a few days ago, on how Turkey and Zionists are the new Americunt attack dogs in the region.

Dick Von Dast'Ard

The secretary-general of the Kataeb political party, Nazar Najarian, was killed in the powerful explosion on Tuesday, according to Lebanon state-run NNA news.

Najarian was in his office when the explosion happened. He died after being critically injured. https://edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/lebanon-beirut-explosion-live-updates-dle-intl/h_a67937b6c9637a38a57cb471cdb83e2b

Zionism = EVIL

No, I had posted the whole details yesterday, he and a dozen CIA supported Phalangists were killed in the Port area. They also work with Mossad.

Dick Von Dast'Ard

So we are looking at a complete breakdown of Lebanon as a functioning state.(crippled economy, society, judiciary and internal political system) A Pentagon wet dream.

Zionism = EVIL

That was the idea and also weaken Hezbollah, but the opposite will happen as nature abhors a vacuum.

Dick Von Dast'Ard

Can see Lebanon now fracturing between north and south. I suspect the Anglo-Zionists will refuse to send humanitarian aid south.

Zionism = EVIL

Quite possible as Lebanon is an artificial Sykes-Picot creation and has had multiple civil wars in its short history.It should ideally be part of Syria, the mother country.

Jens Holm

Oh Yes. Protectorate said ans says “they are not able to run things themselves until we have made a system for it and educated local people”.

So they could have made 5 or 7 countries or fx a federation with a lot of local independensy instead( fx like USA).

And oh yes. there was many incidents there and almost all over Syria/Leanon/Turkey/Iraq and Palestine.

Random I only metion Druse against Maronites and Catholics aháginst the Greekcatholics and Armenians.

But he most important thing is that they all has become so many and crowdy BUT the production and innovation and implementation systematicly has not changed. Syria has only been lucky finding oil there as repair. But who did find that oil? It was not even the Syrians.

Lebanon and the coastline is different. They were doing pretty well being integrated with all coastliners all the way to Gebel Al Tarek. But then suddenly the arabs were given dominance by forcing the small town Damaskus and its arabistanis into dominans. Since that thongs has been declining.

They have no know how for the whole world unless they are consumers by free oil money. They love letting westerns work for them feeling themselves high above us and all the lowlives, which by accident lives there too.

Assads are new feuadals and just replaced an incompetent king and staff being incomptent ruler as well. A funny part is they actually sold parts of their land to Israel and by that all their peasants was allowed to a “Goodbuy this is Jewish land for Our farmers).

I several times has proposed printing a new map for Syria and partly the rest. It would be possible to make some Aleppo and Raqqa state. Its no coincidence those areas are not Assads on the maps. Thats the borders, which make sense.

I allow me to ttell You that Lebanon actually was added some Bekaa parts, which tilted more arabs into it.

guest

Stop spamming you DOLT!

Traiano Welcome

I don’t read him anymore. Just click downvote and move on.

Traiano Welcome

There is a possibility a large chunk could revert back to Syria. However, Israel and the old colonialist countries will rush in immediately to prevent that. Israel particularly will be terrified of the idea that Syria has advanced closer to it by way of Lebanon.

Jens Holm

Maybee You got eyes by organdonation.

Lebanon are tribes and many times in civile wars against each othere. There are many good maps for who is who even during time and no contraseption.

Traiano Welcome

Maybe not completely. Hezbollah seems to have the common link along the entirety of Lebanon:

– South Lebanon: Hezbollah – North Lebanon: Main connection route to Syria, with which Hezbollah holds the strongest political link. – Bekaa Valley: East Lebanon. Hezbollah territory

If there is a North-South fracture, it will be between some of the other factions … But Hezbollah will be the remaining link uniting North to South.

Moreover, Lebanon is more likely to fracture along the sectarian and factional lines (Maronite, Christian, Druze, Shiite, Sunni, Phalangist etc …) than geographical like “North-South”, these are the main fracture lines …

Jens Holm

Westbankers and Gazas might do the filings. Trump might like if You took some mexicans.

The vakkum is is You heads. Yopu deny to replace corrupt politicians and ancient systems, which dont work.

Traiano Welcome

“but the opposite will happen as nature abhors a vacuum.”

That’s my calculation as well. Remember, a few years ago there was a debate about whether Hezbollah should join the government at all, or remain a pure militia outside of the government. Many foretold that if Hezbollah joined the government, then the blame apportioned to the dumpster fire that is the government would be smeared on Hezbollah as well. So, it may now be the best thing for Hezbollah to exit the government and revert to it’s central role as a militia and a grassroots humanitarian movement – a position from which it is unassailable.

Jens Holm

Thats no Pentagon dream. The sanctions also are by UN – Thats all of us – or most of us.

There are long lists for whats wrong with Lebanon as well as Syria and several others. Unless You at least try to insist in needed changes. it will be like that.

As written before I am kind of neutral: A wall around You might do it. We should not waste time and money. We have our own problems such as we made ww1 and ww2 by our own extremisme and after that got the bolsjevics crawling in neocolonialime west of Berlin too.

Concrete Mike

Your as neutral as CNN jens.

Bork!

Jens Holm

I think I am my own.

I tell You again and again, that if You want any improvements, You have to improve Yourself. Ieven tell how it can be done. You can take from China or invent Yourself, but remaining as You do is remaining.

I add facts about it and a lot and I almost only see totally deniel about it.

You also tell lies about us all the time because Your knowledge world and language are very limited.

Vital things in Our way dont exist i Islam and for that matter Russia, therefore You compare worse then blindfolded.

And CNN is only one of many big channels in USA. Americans therefore can choose and compare, but You dont understand thats parlamentarisme and differnt oppinions fights and the best ones hopefully win and they not always do.

https://abcnews.go.com/ https://www.nbcnews.com/ https://www.foxnews.com/ are the ones I often see from there and a small County one too.

Traiano Welcome

The complete breakdown happened years ago. This is merely the stripping away of the facade. This is not a benefit to the Pentagon, this will prove to be their nightmare. This means all their stooges, agents, factions are going to find it hard to gain power as a government over the infrastructure of Lebanon. They have lost complete credibility with the Lebanese people. However, Hezbollah is still intact, as are it’s arms and it’s routes (through Syria) Hezbollah has always functioned as a “state within a state” … It will emerge now as the most intact part of the state. Further, Hezbollah may now be able to take advantage of this chaos to purge suspected agents of foreign powers and strengthen their position further …

I believe the positions on the chessboard show that Hezbollah will be the “last man standing” in this round …

Jens Holm

And You never wonder why You have so many enemies:(

Traiano Welcome

Good riddance to bad rubbish then. Sabra and Shattilla send their greetings …

Jim Allen

Muslim Brotherhood is Rothschild owned if I recall. Erdogan is a supporter of the Brotherhood, and a rabid Globalist.

Jens Holm

Its different if thing happens like this. Almost all contribute some, if they can.

Even danes are small in this we fx send rescue dogs and minesweepers. Its a help to the civilians. Thats different.

d'Artagnan

Armenians will tear the the Turk swine apart in Lebanon, they are as hated as the Zionists. Even Hezbollah could not protect them. The large Armenian community are the survivors of the Armenian holocaust by the Ottoman cowards.

Jens Holm

I am sure the problems are much worse, when things arrive. The Lebanse are split up i sectiors, bad logistics and systematicly corruption of the worst kind.

I allow me to add that when the patient and displaced are spread out it fx makes a lot of sense to use the other harbours as well.

A lot of help also are medical/vital health stuff(toiletpaper and tampax replacing the lira). Thats exelent comming in ny airports by Herculess seize.

up to 400.000 is a lot but not devastaing, but I am sure many are traumatized and chocked for many days and mayge´bee years. No wonder.

Its very good its by the sea. Damaskus, Bagdad and Amman would be worse.

Selbstdenker

most probably reach an unfavorable agreement with his southern neighbor country about the maritim borders, which its southern neighbor disputs… qui bono?

Dick Von Dast'Ard

Certainly a possibility. Lot of potential east Med prospectors though… Russia/Italy/France consortium (Novatek/ENI/Total) had just started exploration for example.

Jens Holm

You have to understand, there are several levels. A consortium work for others and is am spusouced right. They give profit(or losses) to the stockholders and not the states. But they do pay tax to the Goverments but often not much, because investments starts with minus.

Assads down own all oil and Gas in Syria. The production an sale often 50:50. BIg owner can be China, South Korea, India or anybody else.

So when Assads say SDFs steal for the thieves of Damaskus, half of it it often is stolen from somebody else. Well 50% is a lot. But before that the SDFs got nothing…

Jens Holm

Israel as well as Turks are very agressive about oil and gas.

The only possible way is to improve international organisations. The problems is not onlæy there but many plces almost anywhere. Hints cpuld be the Non CVhinese Sea and North Pole.

Jens Holm

Maing Island with the ruins or what?

Traiano Welcome

To China …

Jens Holm

France is not broke but declining from a high level.

Selbstdenker

no, France is broke since years, and only held alive throug the EU and TARGET acounts, which it does not balance.

Jens Holm

Thats Your incompetent definition and against all facts. Its declining from a too high level, thats true. But by that they have a high level to decline from.

Broke is Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Venezuela, Zimbabwe.

And true, we are all kept alive and partly helped well by EU. Thats why we have it . DAM IT.

Selbstdenker

How can you call me incompetent in this matter? do you know what I am doing for a profession? You are babbling all the time, and show that you have no deep knowledge at all. Go and watch TV. thats more then enough for your low intelligence.

Jens Holm

This is a stupid accident, which made their own big bang. The help will not be related to their lira.

They will be donated a lot for free.

But it would be nice for many if Hesbollah stayed home and grew some fields. Hesbollah is a good reasins for Lebanon didnt get a second chance to regain. Well, they were helpe by Assads too.

But for me its 2 different things. My worries are for how much help actually will reach the ones needing it.

Selbstdenker

A stupid accident, which leaves a crater of a hunder meter diameter in the rock, on which the port is build? Never heard, that an above surface explosion of any material is able to do that. Only a plasma ball, created by fision or fusion, would be able to vaporize rock.

Nabir oBar

Store explosive and 85% of the country’s grain together for years, is not fatality is high level complicity. Responsible are same who will investigate

Zionism = EVIL

Yes, an Egyptian ship was off loading the supplies, when the explosion happened. The Silos are totally wiped out.

Jens Holm

Yes, If You look closer the silos actually also has protected parts of Beirut well.

Selbstdenker

check yt for burning amonium nitrate and be surprised!

Jens Holm

Thats right. Food is no problem if You have money or are donated. Its about what we have. Denmark this year will have more then eniugh for bread but only for own use is first-first class.

If needed we are reserve for many shiploads. Many here are extra for the children partly because the UNICF HQ is in Copenhagen.

Selbstdenker

amonium nitrate is not an explosive, but an enabler. It provides oxigen for an burning agent. if stored in a pure form, it doesn’t even burn, but would melt under heat. Storing it for that long will degrade it as it is hygroscopic. It will produce acid when in contact with water.

FlorianGeyer

I have often used it as a fertiliser. When I have had a bit left, I stored it in a garage and after a year a proportion of the small beads of fertiliser changed into golf ball sized balls that were easy to crush with a hand.

Phoron

Go look up the 1947 Texas City Disaster, brainiac, and tell us again how ammonium nitrate isnt explosive.

Im not buying the ammonium nitrate story. This was a bunker buster bomb with a mini tactical nuke. Same as in Yemen and Tianjin China.

Selbstdenker

i am of the same opinion. A surface explosion is not able to vaporize the rock below it and carve out a hole similar to the explosion ball. But if the explosion ball is a plasma ball created by a fision/fusion, it will evaporate the rock. As the port in Beirut is build on rock the fertilizer explosion story is fake.

IF it was an Israeli or US missile the consequences will be dire. That would be a reason to pass it off as an ‘accident’ until the time is right to hit back and that ‘time lapse’ could easily be controlled by ‘waiting for an enquiry ‘ to deliberate the tragedy.

I posted this video yesterday & I post again because it’s interesting, unless someone can explain why it should be dismissed? isn’t strange for a bird fly into smoke debris & wouldn’t it be a very large bird from that distance. Anyway, I expect CNN & BBC will use their top investigative journalists to get to the bottom of this…oh wait they say its fertilizer!

Check this video…there seems to be some kind of object coming in from the left side. About 0.2 minutes, 0.4 minutes & 1.16 minutes.

If it doesn’t load up on this page then copy & past the address.

Can anyone make anything of it?

This video actually confirms birds were in the area…so it looks like a bird.

Not while Amal and Hezbollah exist. Else they’ll get a second round of circumcisions.

From the start I’m hearing conflicting information from Lebanese officials…this is the SOP in a FF, if Israel was colluding with certain factions inside Lebanon to weaken Lebanon as a State, this is a great way to do it. Lets say, Israel tells these traitors ‘we’ll cause some instability by just blowing up the gain silos, it will look like an accident-the traitors agree, as it forces the people to depend on the govt for a solution, which should end their constant protests. But Israel doesn’t tell the traitors they are really planning to destroy half the city. These traitors are now abandoned by Israel & hated by the people, and have no option but to blame everyone else. This totally undermines the government & causes massive material & catastrophic economic damage. By no co-incidence, the only one who benefits is Israel… right in the lead-up to a war with Lebanon.

Watch the video, “Lebanese bride’s photo shoot interrupted by Beirut blast” https://www.presstv.com/Detail/2020/08/06/631213/Lebanon-Bride-Photo-Shoot-Beirut-Blast

To those low life apes here pouring salt and saying Israeli are not “bad” here, “Ex-Israeli lawmaker sparks outrage after hailing Beirut blast as ‘gift’ from God” <—- this is what you goys are and not more.Hell is a gift for you goys. https://www.presstv.com/Detail/2020/08/06/631193/Israel-Moshe-Feiglin-Lebanon-Beirut-blast

No way, is that for real?

Yes…it’s real…match it up with the vids already posted. dtd 6 Aug 2020

Even though this mentions ‘Trump was right’…He is joined at the hip with israel. Damning evidence for both!

TopTier

Can anyone confirm if this was indeed at the port…because if so then clearly a missile attack. You see at the beginning & from another camera about 0.29m. But why would 2 cameras be filming in negative & why are the comments switched off at ziotube?

disqus_W1eFsMfKhi

Video was just uploaded today…probably won’t last long. I don’t know about how to get negative image…in the second image first vid you can see the grain silos head on and the ‘firework’ type explosions going before the missile hits @.22

TopTier

I thought the people holding the cameras were filming in negative for some reason, but makes sense if its possible to change to negative afterwards. Poor souls, I wonder what happened to them. Is this this smoking gun then? I’m surprised nobody else has commented…with all the talk (& evidence) of hearing jets before the second explosion as well. I’m sure plenty of people have downloaded the video for safekeeping! I think an hour ago it was at 48,000 views, now its nearly 100,000 views!

disqus_W1eFsMfKhi

[“…nobody else has commented”] me too except that many commentors here are either in Europe or ME and are asleep. Share as much as possible. Leb security is picking up hundreds if not more cell phones that were dropped from the blast. RIP to all those who were martyred in this horrible attack.

disqus_W1eFsMfKhi

A lot of youtubers switch off comments so the vid can’t be flagged and taken down.

Jim Allen

So, where else would those grain silo’s be ? By the piers, and warehousing, and the mention of an Egyptian flagged ship said to be off loading, kinda’ confirms the location as the port. There should be reports of the presense of Gamma radiation at the location. Radiation levels with tactical nukes return to normal in 72-96 hours.

TopTier

Ok…plus the boat. But I wonder if the video in negative could have been edited though? Nearly 300k views already, hopefully more comes out.

Jim Allen

Anything’s possible. Veterans Today has a graph record of a spike caused by a fission event with some photos posted today. Been waiting to see something on radiation levels.

TopTier

This is a video where you can clearly hear aircraft coming in…

Well spotted buddy, yes I see.

Fog of War

A ship meant to be ” sacrificed “.

” The company itself was formed that same year and Rhosus appears to have been its only vessel. It is now becoming clear, however, that the ship could hardly have been called a worthy vessel, even then. “

crc2011

For a major port most of the warehouses appear to have been empty.

Nuclear weapon from Israel!

IMHO

If that were a ground burst by a nuclear weapon then there should be radiation and fallout. Surely someone with a dosimeter would be showing the proof by now.

Traiano Welcome

There was no nuclear flash. None of the video footage would exist if it had been nuclear.
