Hmm, yea that could be a warehouse.


The explosion, clouds, and Shockwave has to be more than simple fireworks.

It's either an accidental massive chemical storage that exploded or it was the weapons cache purposefully targeted.

We keep saying 2020 can't get any worse. The Middle East going into a hot war is much worse. I hope we aren't dragged into it.

Video where you can see the red cloud after the initial blast:

There's a lot of speculation going around that at Hezbollah storage facility is right there.

I'm going to guess the second (big) explosion was an LPG (liquified petroleum gas) tank igniting from the first fire.

It almost looks like the water that got blown out instantly turned to clouds in that one.

Yeah that's what worries me.

Someone targeted their weapons storage facility and leveled parts of Beirut in the process.

Some damn thing in the Balkins is coming to 2020

Reports coming in that the Hospitals are now turning away hundreds of people who are injured with blood streaming down their faces because they are too full or the hospitals are too damaged to take them in.

Or, the fire was started through a clandestine operation that then set off the munitions stores in the facility. Israel, in the past, used a computer virus to cause nuclear facilities to overheat and explode. I could see spies or drones starting a fire in a munitions dump that grows out of control and detonates the ordinance stored there.
