    Aaron Bastani was blaming it on Israeli thermobaric weapons within 15 minutes. Posts now deleted.

    Anyway, having seen the footage it’s kind of incredible how few deaths there have been, so far at least. You can see building just vanish. Awful.

    I’m not sure what’s more horrible the explosion or Tonka’s cumming in his pants excitement at people getting vaporised.

    I imagine they'll go up a lot. Least I hope so for Tonka's sake. I've never seen him this animated.

    Sadly I can imagine the death toll will grow enormously in the coming days :(

    Saw an acquaintance post on Facey from an alt-,right site that '1000s were dead'. I agree that the toll will rise but to immediately jump to that is sickening. Like they were revelling in it.

    Just looking at the explosion and the damage to the surrounding area, it's not far from a reasonable estimation. I think the toll is currently around 70 so maybe it wasn't as highly a populated area as it looks. Hopefully.

    It may well be that high in time, but it's just illustrative of the bullshit and misinformation a lot of these pages trot out without knowing anything at all.

    Edit: yes, being dockside it is apparently less densely populated.

    "Facts about this dangerous warehouse," Prime Minister Diab said, have been known for at least six years.

    Diab added that the warehouse had been storing an estimated 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate, according to an account by President Michel Aoun.
    Seems like a fireworks factory. The mind boggles at the kinds of fireworks displays they have in Beirut if they're stocking that much explosive, you'd think that would be the last thing they want to chill out with.

    Storing your seized haul of ammonium nitrate in a warehouse next to the explosives factory is a bit of an oversight

    It was the red barrel factory next door that was really pushing their luck.

    A similar thing happened in Brest in 1947:

    Trump is saying his generals told him it was a bomb and he reckons it was possibly an attack

    If there are terrorists who can build a bomb that out outperforms anything in the the non-nuclear arsenal by a factor of ten it might be worth drawing up the articles of surrender already.

    I guess if they can smuggle in 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate undetected then we should be worried

    I think I might keel over if Trump ever said "We're going to wait until the facts are established" or "I'd like to express my deepest condolences to the families of the victims" .

    Just loves to stir chaos
  • Deleted user 5 August 2020 03:21:37
    Goodness, this happens to be one of the places I've visited. Not cool to have to see that. All the best to those affected :(

    Edit: that may have come across a bit heartless (and entirely unintentionally). I'm just not sure what to say really. I should probably shut up :(

    Another classic Trump. I bet those generals (if there are any) would have preferred if he kept that speculation to himself.

    I imagine it being a bomb/attack was just on the long list of possibilities that were presented to him, but it's the only one he remembered.
