from WSJ

Beirut Explosion Caused by Fire Kills Dozens, Injures Thousands
The blast occurred after a warehouse with highly explosive material at a port in the Lebanese capital caught fire

Fireworks

Three US Defense Department officials told CNN that as of Tuesday night there was no indication that the massive explosion that rocked Beirut on Tuesday were an "attack," contradicting an earlier claim from President Donald Trump.

Anytime someone talks to CNN instead of a real network, you have to figure it's political.

saw McVeigh used 4,000 pounds of fertilizer.

the explosion in beirut had 2.7 METRIC TONS of fertilizer.

I think this was planned.

No drama, just post that bullshit where it belongs.

We get it, we get it, YOU DON'T LIKE THE POTUS!!!

JFC!!?? Why up here another million times, post it down there with the other idiots.

No, Kelly isn't going to ban you, that's why everyone posts politics up here when they want.....

I have no idea but nothing surprises me at this point.

Lot of people got fucked up in this thing for sure.

its all drama....I post a 3 word response to Try3's post.....how many other political posts have I made in the " new" version of the main forum?

I read it was 2700 metric tons, 1000 times more.

I'd say there's two prime suspects. Israel and Hezbollah.

Hard to say, if they really had a warehouse full of the stuff, it could have been an accident. But the fact it just happened to kill a leader of an opposition party suggests otherwise.

First off Try never posted anything political, he stayed away from it like he always does.

Secondly I never mentioned your name or anyone else.

I like you Blue, I like your posts, always have. I'm just sick of hearing, reading, talking about all this crap....

I go to FB and my feed is dominated by idiots on both sides. I watch sports and now it's getting more and more about everything but athletics.

I come to gamble, here again posters want to bring the forum to who we vote for rather than who we bet on.

Why? Everyone was asked NICELY by JK several times not to do it, PLEASE post it down there so we can go back to sports/gambling up here.

Not my rules but we were promised no more politics up here, we're promised this would be a clean zone and man do I ever need it.

I just don't understand why people wouldn't voluntarily help JK out and do as asked?

Why is imperative we all know how much someone likes/dislikes POTUS 1500 times a day?

No drama, just help us out man, please.

I am not stupid...I am just following what I see are political comments and letting those in charge know that a thread has turned political...don’t care if I get banned because nobody has been warned since Kane got banned...

 

[blueline]

if youre going to call others stupid..its too not to

 

[Viejo Dinosaur]

Ammonium nitrate and fireworks.....not a bomb....

 

[Sportsrmylife]

I read it was 2700 metric tons, 1000 times more.

where does a group get that much from?

how long does it take to plan to get this much?

this had to be some big sales which should have made someone scratch their heads at the quantity being sold.

if windows 10 km away were blown out how was there only 70 deaths?

It would appear that there was enough power at the epicenter to destroy anything in the 1 km radius.

Apparently it was 2700 tons, and it's been sitting in a warehouse since 2014 when it was seized from a ship, why they let it sit their so long, and all together is a good question. i'm leaning against a planned attack.

Makes it an easy target for someone that is looking to do damage.

The warehouse situation makes me lean toward it not being planned.
