Hundreds of nuclear weapons tests say otherwise.

#LebanonExplosion's death toll rises to 63. 3000 people are injured according to the minister of health.
The final # has to be in the thousands, right? Maybe hundreds. So awful.

So the guy filming that said it was the result of a "missile"?

Rumors are Hezbollah had received some big time missiles from Iran that they may have been storing there.

Breaking: Israel has just offered humanitarian aid to Lebanon after Beirut catastrophe. I think this is a first - not just for Lebanon but for any designated "enemy state."

Hell, not just the TD ones. It isn't a secret.

Once, they had a, "flash fire" explosion that my Pops, who happened to have worked off that weekend and was home working outside on a playhouse for us, heard and felt ~15 miles or so away. He came inside and told my mom to turn on the news because the plant had just blown up.

He was right, but it was only one building.

I don't see how the death toll doesn't grow much much higher. If it's less than several hundred, I'd be shocked.

Seems like any car anywhere near was blown hundreds of feet in the air.

No way, there have been some massive ones that make this Beirut one look docile.

Remember the huge explosion in Tainjin China a few years ago? Looked like the apocalypse. Watch all the way through:

Yeah looking at some of the alleged stats of the Tianjin explosions - no way that's accurate (death count, KT, etc.) I'm sure China didn't allow investigation.

I have a hard time fathoming bigger explosions than this/Tianjin that aren't nuclear.
