  • At least 78 people were killed in a massive explosion that shook the Lebanese capital, Beirut, on Tuesday evening, Lebanon's health minister told Reuters.
  • The blast appears to have been centered on the city's port area.
  • A CNN producer witnessed "chaotic scene" in Beirut emergency room following the explosion.
  • Lebanon state-run NNA news reported that a major fire broke out near Beirut port and firefighting teams rushed to the scene and worked to put out the fire.

Story developing.

Ammonium nitrate also has legitimate industrial use. Just that it can also be ingredient for explosives. 

But it could also have been linked to the various alphabet groups who wanted it.. Hamas is big there too.

6 years ago.. isis was big too. Who knows.

The photo above looks like one from a movie scene.... looking at the scale of explosion, I don't think is terrorism. Really scary.

Wow 2750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate was stored in that warehouse. Looks like all explode together due to intense heat when there is a fire breakout before the explosion. 

So this is the reason...

And halfway across the world, the biggest idiot of all time Donald Duck said it's an 'Attack'! 🤬
