That's a lot of s***!

Beirut is the other side of the world, having information close to what exactly happened is remarkable. Reports suggest a storage facility goes boom in a big way, given the location of the blast I hope weapons like shoulder held missiles that went missing in years past went up in smoke at that storage facility.

Same thing that blew up in Tianjin, China several years ago.

It was worse than this though. 8 kiloton compared to the 2.7KT in Beirut.

I remember watching those videos. In the compilation, the very first video, the cameraman died. If you slow it down you can see the buildings literally disintegrating in front of him as the blast wave approaches.

Hiroshima was a nominal 20 KT, for comparison to an atomic blast.

Lighten up H4C. It was Tom finding a little humor in a terrible situation. Google what caused the blast, and then Google what that is. Oh never mind, I will just tell you. It was ammonium nitrate (i.e. fertilizer...aka SHIT).

Wrong thread. We're discussing Lebanon not California.
