Re: Holy krap, the explosion in Beirut port.

Sorry, I don't understand what your jumping on me about I just stated I wish the news media would report on stuff other then bad news all day everyday.

 

You have come after me before, we don't get along.

Please don't 'mention' me again.

 

thank you

Assuming that you are not a munitions, explosives expert, would you give the source for your post?  Thanks.

Here's a link to a video showing a Russian ammo dump exploding. Compare that to the video from Beirut. You see the same shockwave, same colors, same cloud formation, pretty much everything. Having seen videos of ammo dumps exploding, that's what the Beirut blast looks like.

Thank you.  I do see the similarities.  The Dark Plume in Beruit looks immediate to me, and I do see that it is not so immediate in Russia, as you say.  Both are plenty scary, sad.

Some seem to forget Oklahoma. 

 

And some really seem to forget 9/11.

 

We have had some historic events here; be it use of chemicals or airplanes.

@Cakers3, what did some posters say that made you think this? I am asking sincerely.
