Massive explosion in Beirut, Lebanon

Postby Duane 3NE 2NR » August 4th, 2020, 12:59 pm

A large explosion rocked Beirut on Tuesday, injuring many people as glass shattered and balconies collapsed from the impact, Reuters witnesses said.

Lebanon’s state news agency NNA and two security sources said the blast had occurred in the port area where there are warehouses housing explosives. It was not immediately clear what caused the blast or what kind of explosives were in the warehouses.

i guess that's how 1/5th of a Hiroshima type bomb would look like at ground level.

If it wasn't a terrorist attack i would say it seems like an ammunition dump on a ship at the port went up by accident... but it looks like Hezbollah. Expecting hundreds to be dead with that kind of shockwave.

Atomic bomb would have created Cat 5 hurricane speed blast winds everyone and everything within that video radius would be demolished.

A small nuclear bomb like Little Boy is worse than you imagine.

Any explanation why it looks like a Atomic Bomb tho?

Can other explosives not nuclear look like that?

It has a mushroom cloud...that's why it looks so. Any large explosion can cause a mushroom cloud.

Some intl media houses saying fireworks were being stored at that place...That is a serious blast radius if you ask me.

A large enough explosion creates a super high temperature at the center of the explosion. This creates a blast velocity which leads to an instability between the shock front and the air just behind it (Rayleigh-Taylor), causing a collapse with tremendous velocity and sucking the winds back in which continues to rise at the center due to convection. That creates a mushroom cloud. And why you get hurricane winds with an atomic bomb which is many times larger than any conventional explosives reaction. The actual core of an atomic bomb explosion at t= (10^-6) reaches the temperature of the center of the sun (10 M °C) for a fraction of a second.

Very large ammo dump explosions also create mushroom clouds. Large volcanic explosions also create a mushroom cloud like an atomic bomb, a famous photographed example is Mt. Redoubt in 1990.

Interesting note: If you can't cover such an explosion with your thumb it means you're too close to the blast and will suffer consequences. That is that the Vault Boy is doing in the Bethesda's Fallout video game series, not giving us a cheerful thumbs up.

Very interesting had no idea always thought in Fallout he was just doing a thumb's up

There were local reports that the warehouse contained fireworks, and in several videos posted online, colored flashes could be seen in the dark smoke rising from the fire, just before the second explosion.

They will test that pink smoke debris and find out if there are metals consistent with fireworks.

Seeing the fireworks flashing in this 2nd video when they zoomed in. That wasn't a bomb, that was OSHA violation.

Lebanon's Head of General Security says the blast was caused by a fire in a depot of highly explosive material, including Sodium nitrate, at Beirut's port. He said that material was confiscated from a ship months ago and stored there.
