Beirut Explosion: What Happened in Lebanon and Everything Else You Need to Know

A giant explosion at a warehouse in the port sent a shock wave through downtown Beirut at about 6 p.m. local time on Tuesday.

Videos of the blast posted on social media showed smoke billowing from the warehouse on the waterfront before a massive explosion produced a dome-shaped cloud that engulfed that section of the city center. The force of the blast did tremendous damage...

Oh, but our idiot in chief says his top general's told him it was a bomb attack. Meaning he was watching TV with various people wandering in and out including some generals. The moron blurts out 'That looks like a bomb!' Nobody says anything, it becomes my top 4 generals told me.

Prayers 🙏

What happen is a fking DEW bomb was dropped

It is so sad, lets pray for Lebanon.

Truly terrifying and saddening what happened 😢

a court ruling was scheduled for tomorrow in Beirut over a killed leader and it was going to point the finger at Iran. More on this story please

Anybody with a brain who knows how nukes work would know that if it were a nuke there'd be no video because if EMP. Not to mention that people who were filming got knocked down and then stood back up and kept filming. If it was a nuke they'd be toast at that distance.

What a tragedy!

Ok...sure

I have a bridge for sale

How close was Banque du Liban to the explosion?

Sure that makes sense 🙄

This is not news. The FBI raid on the Ukrainian Oligarch building in Cincinnati Ohio that links to Privat Bank, Ukrainian One, Burisma, and Biden.....wow, thats news. And it is real....

Yeah, keeping calling it an explosion... bomb

Hezbollah

'a fire'

PrayForBeirut PrayForLebanon !!

Ammonium Nitrate stored w/firecrackers? More like ammunition nitrate......

Shockingly little news coverage of this for hours after it happened. The second biggest man made explosion in the history of mankind (Hiroshima is first) and crickets from most stations for hours. Shocking.

Beirut, Portland what’s the difference mayor?

Haryana is the worst hit by covid19 😂😂😂😂😂😂

There were multiple smaller explosions visible before the large blast. Artillery shells or rockets before the main ammunition dump exploded.

Is anyone considering possibility that this was an accidental detonation of bomb material intended for elsewhere?
