I think we are all too aware to buy the official line on situations any more, so lets dig!

It appears to have occured in a warehouse just to the right of the grain silos

Interesting article here deciphering if it is atomic or something else, concluding "ammunition and nitrate remain likely" https://www.forbes.com/sites/kelseyatherton/2020/08/04/think-halifax-not-hiroshima-for-beirut-explosion/">https://www.forbes.com/sites/kel...
Think “Halifax” Not “Hiroshima” For Beirut Explosion

Mushroom clouds are iconically linked with nuclear explosions, but that is because mushroom clouds are a phenomenon that follows big explosions, and no nuclear detonation is small.

Not sure who Chris is, maybe someone can clarify if he is a bomb expert, anyhoo - this is a great video he posted showing the damage.

How awful for anyone nearby, RIP and thoughts to Lebanon right now https://twitter.com/ChrisPalmerNBA/status/1290725213110284289?s=20">https://twitter.com/ChrisPalm...

Do you really store fireworks/explosives at a place like this? Near to the historical centre of Beirut that is 1000s of years old...

Ammonium nitrate is a fertilizer, which goes nicely with those grain silos

BUT it is also known to be highly explosive

I note that the explosion looks slightly different to yesterday& #39;s in China, where lightening came from the sky and molten something sprays..

This is a gem of an informative tweet, which goes nicely with the freeze frames I posted https://twitter.com/quantian1/status/1290695231910875136?s=20">https://twitter.com/quantian1...

Well to them I guess it& #39;s just a fertilizer... did they store the fireworks near it?

Or is this a speedy cover up... as we often get hours after an event https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1290791122860531712?s=20">https://twitter.com/stillgray...

@realDonaldTrump just said that US Generals & #39;seem to think that it was an attack, a bomb of some kind& #39;

And we know that he is transparent, so I trust his take on this developing situation
