Absolutely unreal the size of the explosion. Those grain elevators(?) are tough as hell apparently.

Damn.  The ship on its side really brings it in.

Saw a video on Facebook of someone driving on the highway a good distance from it. The explosion shattered every window in the car, pushed it out of its lane, and set off the side airbags.

I didn’t notice the ACTUAL FUCKING CRATER until I enlarged the photo. Damn.

Here’s a 100 ton explosion. The blast in Beirut was 18x as powerful.

The bomb dropped on Hiroshima was 130x...

Well, I suppose that’s one way to add a yacht basin to the waterfront.

They are saying it was in the kilotons of power, just crazy. I mean an entire ship got toppled over and there is a huge hole in the ground.

Yeah, sank one ship, and “blew” another one out of the water.

There was one someone was taking from their car 1700' away. The shockwave broke their windshield and deployed the curtain airbags.

I want to see what they protected. That was a lot of energy that didn’t make it down range to the SW. Curious if there are fewer broken windows in that area.

i have....but somehow that before and after pic really drove the point home

(tho the videos are pretty fucking mental)

how is that building at ground zero still standing? In yesterday’s videos I was assuming that sucker was just evaporated.

I believe this should be declared as the worst error in the history of human judgement. The fact that the death toll isn’t standing at several thousand right now is a miracle in and of itself.

I noticed what looks to be an E39 M5 lurking in the background.

The Guardian has several videos embedded in the attached article that are worth a read and a look:

J ebus. I mean that looks pretty on par with the smallest tactical nukes. No mushroom cloud, and a slightly smaller fireball, but that kind of shockwave is not something you us ual ly see in non-nuclear explosions.

sure seems like it was a poor decision to have that much boom stored there.....for 6 years...

still standing...somehow...not much left of the side facing the boom

Concrete. Lots of concrete.

Why don’t we make every building out of grain silos?

Imagine how fucking terrifyin g it would be to see that. I would have just assumed it was a nuke or something. Jesus.

Was the epicentre just a warehouse?

I believe so. Where the crater is, a warehouse was.

so August will be the month of the Lebanese humanitarian disaster. Apparently this is going south fast. That silo was supposedly the larger stock of the country’s food supply . The banks are corrupt as fuck and has taken all the cash out of the country. No one has access to money. 300,000 displaced by the blast. 90% on the hotels are fucked and a hospital was destroyed.
(all this is just shit I ’ve seen around the interwebs, good chance its true but I don’ t have sources to copy at the exact moment)

Also grain, probably absorbed a lot of the blast like sand does.

So in Vancouver we have a sugar refinery next to a grainery next to a rendering plant. It’s like the Myan   Riviera for rats!

It’s close but it is not the worst. The Halifax Explosion (1,963 dead) and the Texas City disaster (581 dead) exceed it in both deaths and approximate yield (kt of TNT).

sure looks like just a warehouse from above anyway
