Our city is trashed, let's make it worse
Why can't people protest without destroying things ? Unfortunately it looks like things are going to turn worse for the Lebanon people, maybe civil war ?

The overpressure wave is deadly nearby but pressure soon dissipates in an open environment. The blast/shrapnel wave is more deadly. In the Beirut instance I believe the overpressure would be deadly out to 1000ft but when you get to 6000ft away it probably wouldn't.
I just figured that there must be points behind such a large building (with the source of the pressure wave being pretty much exactly on the other side) that one could feasibly survive such that any pressure differences is cancelled out or minimised.
this was posted a few hours ago, HD footage of the blast.

The blast itself happens at 9m37 but after that it's replayed in slow motion. You can see the shockwave destroy the buildings piece by piece as it moves closer to the camera. Terrifying.

So there's a fire, then there's a small explosion with fireworks or munitions cooking off which then leads to the deadly mega explosion ? It'll be interesting to know what exactly happened and what was actually on fire initially
Presume anybody caught in the fireball would be toast rather than pulverised by the shockwave

It's already been noted that welding/burning works were being carried out to the warehouse.
Also why did they have a network of "panic" rooms under the docks ?
I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a weapons cache
They were built decades ago as bomb shelters.

Oh dear. No. There is nothing suspicious here. Just a terrible accident caused by mismanagement.
despite denials by the government of their existence
