I think a MOAB is like 20,000 lbs of high-explosive. This was possibly 5,400,000 lbs of ammonium nitrate, only a low-explosive (.42 of TNT) , violently detonating due to high-heat exposure, same as the Texas city 1946 fertilizer explosion. so kinda think 20 thousand pounds of TNT -vs- 5 million pounds of black-powder! = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent#Relative_effectiveness_factor Last edited by oldoak2000; 08/05/20 01:47 PM.

Prayers for the people. https://www.breitbart.com/middle-ea...es-with-populist-anger-at-ruling-elites/ x2 I wonder what was stored in those tall silos right next to the 'crater' ? - looks like sides blown off facing blast, and 'something' piled up there. Coulda been quite a 'secondary blast' if that had been corn/wheat/grain ?? EDIT - whoa - after googling 'Beirut silos' I find that IS actually grain silos - 120,000 metric tons of grain!- guess they're quite lucky in one way it didn't detonate, there would be no city left!!! - but very unlucky in another way as news reports that is 85% of their grain.:( - prayers up!

Likely black hat munitions There were obviously fireworks going off in some of the videos. The fireworks clearly weren’t the only thing that exploded. The ammonium nitrate (especially 2700 tons) would do it. I’m not ruling out they theory that there were weapons stored there, but the fertilizer answer isn’t outlandish.

Anyone remember the fertilizer explosion in West a few years ago? Absolutely believe it was ammonium nitrate....which is also used in bomb making so there’s that too Originally Posted by Sneaky I believe in science and I’m an insufferable [censored] Originally Posted by beaversnipe Actually, BBC is pretty damn good "You Cannot Simultaneously Be Politically Correct And Intellectually Honest!"
