Experts estimate the massive warehouse explosion that sent a devastating blast wave across Beirut could be one of the strongest non-nuclear explosions ever recorded

The first nuclear bomb used in war. Dropped by the U.S., the bomb killed tens of thousands and flattened the Japanese city of Hiroshima in an instant.

Aerial footage shows damage at the blast site in Beirut two days after the explosion. August 6, 2020 | Reuters/Bader-Photography.comA string of explosions Hayoun, a former military engineering officer whose current roles include overseeing safety standards for explosives use in Israel, said his analysis was based on data from seismological sensors stationed across the region.

Among the sensors cited by Hayoun was an array installed about 70 km off Lebanon’s coast by the international geological project IRIS - which cast doubt on his conclusions.

Beirut Blast 4th Largest Explosion In Recorded History There fixed it for you

Zechariah 11:1, open your doors, lebanon, so that fire can burn down your cedar trees! The fall of the tyrants. 11:3, the rulers cry out in grief;their glory is gone!

“Ammonium Nitrate” seems to be the major culprit in accidentals. 100 years have gone by between the mentioned explosions. One would think we’d have a non-disastrous way of storing this.

I am at two minds about bombning Japan. They were supporting hitler afterall. That one hit stopped them. I still can't undersand why Japan went with hitler. Knowing the west of the world (ignore italy) was against it.
