Again
Simple explosive physics
Every explosion has this same shape
The conversion of a solid to a gas creates a violent positive phase followed by the negative phase

if you could high speed film a firework and dust the air, you’d see the same shape at a tiny level.

They are now saying over 40k lbs: if either ANFO or sodium nitrate

Either way (they are very similar with little difference in shock sensitivity-both water gels), and that amount would yield this size detonation.

There was a fire prior , hence all the people filming that , heat shock , friction or a combo of set it off

The only question now is if it was set intentionally or pure negligence.

We know fire can set off large amounts of ammonium nitrate. The 1947 Texas City disaster, which killed almost 600 people, began with a fire in the cargo hold of the SS Grandcamp, a freighter carrying 2,300 tons of ammonium nitrate. The explosion destroyed the port, and caused fires that eventually spread to the SS High Flyer, tied up just 600' away. The High Flyer carried 960 tons of ammonium nitrate and 1,800 tons of sulfer. That cargo detonated 15 hours after the Grandcamp exploded.

It took almost three years to repair the damage to the Texas City port. The 4,000 lb anchor of the Grandcamp was found 1.6 miles away from the site of the ship's demise.

Apparently I have to know as much as the experts to have an opinion on anything
Never said that. Asked what your credentials are that's all.
But the guy telling me that isn't an expert
And you know this how?
telling us 3 planes didn't bring down the TWC towers/buildings
Didn't say that.
I'll ask it again, tell me how two planes brought down three buildings?
because he sounds like a conspiracy nut
Yeah well, I think you sound like a mind controlled dimwit.
Touche'.
something about a "magic bullet" and JFK,
Proves, you don't know what you don't know.
it's affecting the ability to discuss anything
You're the one that came shitty at me pal.

That's original thinking! I guess you think those were not jet airplanes that slammed into the world trade center fully loaded with fuel at 400 mph
No. Not at all. I just dont believe they caused them to collapse.
Especially since no plane hit building 7.
Please explain that to us since your all up in it.

For these sort of situations, is there a meaningful difference on the resulting destruction depending on how "fast" an explosive is? Or is it just a question of how much material there is?

What I've learned so far:
* A fire did/did not set off the Beirut explosion
* According to one or more people who seem to know what's what, it could have been the fire/fireworks that set it off
* Apparently I have to know as much as the experts to have an opinion on anything
* But the guy telling me that isn't an expert and is telling us 3 planes didn't bring down the TWC towers/buildings
* I'm being accused of "aiding the CIA" because he sounds like a conspiracy nut (missile or bomb set off Beirut, Israel did it, planes didn't bring down the buildings, something about a "magic bullet" and JFK, and I'm unsure about his theory on the moon landings)
* People are really wrapped around the axle these days and it's affecting the ability to discuss anything including super soakers

I still stand by my theory based on my observations in 07’ that the super soaker popularity signaled the recession.
Poor idiots were the last ones to ride the money wave then and brought the soakers to the channel.
They were gone by 09’ and pretty much were tame until this year.
I predict they will die off again when the money goes away as bottom feeder soaker owners are the first to not be able to afford motel 6.

Let's not be lazy now, one site Bibi mentioned was near the airport, 10KM away from the explosion, the other was underneath a soccer stadium, no soccer stadium in sight near the explosion

EDIT: After rewatching the video and looking closer at the picture, it appears as though Bibi is referring to Al Ahed Stadium or Ansar field, both about 10km from the explosion.

One thing for sure, cellphones and 5G technology caused Covid-19, right? o_O :oops: 😲

That's interesting (to me) - I'm not sure I knew about that one. But I'll bet Israel was behind that too.

Oh wait, that was 1 year before Israel. Hmmm well, they must've done it before they became a country

Yeah, because they couldn't and/or wouldn't move things around now would they?
Talk about a lazy. 🙄

Stop moving the goalposts, the tweet you referenced said:

"Old footage of Netanyahu in UN showing this exact location of blast in Beirut as places used by Hezbollah to produce Guided Missiles"

That is factually inaccurate

Would seem if we were going by P&G section rules, I'm sure this would be termed as Pretzeling 😂

Lol what is it with the 5G stuff? 5G signal sucks, it's actually very weak, and does not like to travel through glass. Anyway continue on...

Not moving the goalposts. Things change all the time. That is a fact. I didn't write the original tweet nor is it my problem this chokes your gizzard.
Merely pointing out what he said back then as it IS relevant to the discussion. I'm also quite aware of it being old footage.
Israel has stated numerous times that they would do whatever is necessary to defend themselves from Hezbollah and Iranian factions based in Lebanon. In the full video Bibi makes that quite clear.

Reeg, sad to say, I'd wager most of the people on here have no clue who these dudes are.
Ignorance is bliss.
And it's fucking dangerous.

That's actually funny since you only think you know "who those dudes are." o_O

OK, well he's pointing at two sites adjacent to the Beirut Airport --- the explosion was in the port of Beirut 5 miles NE as the crow flies, not even in that picture he's holding up. Oops, they missed by just a little. :oops:

So there were missile factories somewhere in beirut and therefore, this explosion was definitely the Israelis?

To be clear, I'm not saying that Israel wasn't involved in this, mossad is equally if not more influential than the CIA. I just have seen zero credible evidence to that fact at this point.

Never said it was.
Just merely pointing out that from past history and taking into account Occam's Razor, it is a very plausible possibility.
Time will tell.
Or not.
It is almost impossible to get the real truth these days with the lying media, disinformation operations and censorship from the Techstapo.
If I'm wrong then, so be it.
My ego isn't fragile.

That lame negative image video is still there. The photo shopped missle is still there. But that missle would be as taller than the high rise buildings next to where it was hitting had it been a real video. Don't think so. But thanks for playing

Now come on, we can all see that missile scream past and go boom !!! It's legit, no doubts about it !!! 😂

Here's me stopping the video at 29 seconds and grabbing a screen capture ---
Then I followed up with two blow ups --- amazing how the missile is the ONLY thing in focus --- :rolleyes:
