Massive Explosion Rocks Beirut
Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

Ok...I saw a report it was a storage facility that had ammonium nitrate (?). That would do it....
Firefighters were there before the explosion. Officials are looking for them now...
Reports say Lebanon is in financial crisis as is.Watch your links! http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/fa...corumetiquette

Can't find it now, but there was a reporter claiming a car bomb. Most of the reports are saying that there were dangerous explosives stored in a warehouse that finally blew.
Many years ago I witnessed an explosion that was in plain view of my house - and as it turned out, very very close to our unique Marine Mounted Color Guard stables (thanks to a very fast-thinking Marine, all the horses were saved). The explosions came from cylinders of various compressed gases that were improperly stored. They were launched into the air from a fire that came from chemicals that shouldn't have been there either. People got into a lot of trouble for the incident which got maybe 60 seconds of fame on the national news.Watch your links! http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/fa...corumetiquette

No, I don't have much hope for firefighters. At least it was quick.
This morning I saw a death count of 100 with 100's missing. I'm guessing this will hit 1,000 dead by the end.
Trivia: as I recall, ammonium nitrate was used in the bomb in Oklahoma City. Obviously this was a lot more than what could be loaded in the back of a U-Haul."For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." Hosea 6:6
"Theology can be an intellectual entertainment." Metropolitan Anthony Bloom

This is probably outdated info (they have now placed officials under house arrest) but Trump says he was told it was probably a bomb.

If it was a bomb it might have been a bomb planted near ammonium nitrate storage. However it could also just be a fire. Let's see what the investigations turn up.
When I was a teenager a whole fireworks factory factory exploded five miles from where we lived. It gave off that white shockwave plume people describe in the video, it is just hard to see because these are videos from 2004 and phone cameras weren't as good back then.
