Initial images of the devastation in Beirut.
It’s hard to imagine that the death toll from this won’t be extensive.

In the second pic...is he expecting a terrorist to jump out of the rubble or something?

Hug your babies and tell those close to you that you love them. You just never know when its your time. Very sad

I’m assuming at that point they didn’t have any idea what they’d find.

The videos of this explosion are very intense. It appears there were a series of small fires prior to the massive explosion which made me think a gas line or something exploded ? If not, this was a major size bomb.

One thing I've noticed from many of the photos today, Lebanese people are not starving.

The Lebanese authorities claim there was a bunch of sodium nitrate (?) being warehoused in the area and it went up after the fires raged long enough.

Fire hits a massive pile of sodium nitrate that the government had seized.

7th pic, 2 guys holding a woman who has gone limp, was her face blown off? Not to be overly macabre at a horrible situation, but her face looks like ground meat and I didn’t notice any ears on her profile.

Good food, good wine, beautiful women

A sad aside (other than the loss of life) is that Beirut seemed like it was on the cusp of regaining some of its former vibrance.

Apparently, from a ship carrying 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate to Mozambique that was seized in port back in 2013. Pending the sale of the ship, the AN was placed in dock warehouse. Guess the warehouse also housed fireworks?

The best theory so far as to the cause of the explosions comes from Farouk. He says that the Rhosus, a ship flying the Moldovan flag was carrying 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate to Mozambique, in 2013. It experienced technical difficulties and docked at Beirut.
