    In a way, fireworks are almost more dangerous than munitions, as usually they involve many exotic chemicals to get various lighting effects, and it's mostly somewhat loose powder.

    That was terrifying... and I was also amazed at how little it took for the camera operators of all the footage I've seen so far to recognize the explosion and then bust ass for nearest cover.

    In a way, it's kind of sad that they've seen it enough, albeit in a smaller scale (this is listed as the largest explosion Beirut has experienced), that they reacted instinctively.

    But holy fuck was that intense.

    AND WHY THE FUCK ARE PEOPLE PUTTING EXPLOSIVE WAREHOUSES SO CLOSE TO PEOPLE?

    It seems to happen every now and then... there was that fertilizer plant in Texas or something that blew the fuck up and it turned out it was illegally placed... the Chinese port explosion that took out city blocks... and now this.

    On the plus side... first guaranteed COVID-Free zone?

    I've repaired a Frenchman's yacht. I can confirm this.

    Jesus. I watched the collection of videos Nett posted, before going back to this one - so after knowing the explosion is coming, I paid attention to the buildings.

    ...I mean....Jesus.

    Yeah, when I saw that, it looked like an Avengers movie or Independence Day or something, where it's Hollywood Effects wiping out those buildings. That's scary crazy.

    I like how he says there's no way the explosion could be caused by fireworks all detonating at the same time. Thanks for the math equation, genius. Might want to show your work next time.

    Also, not a mushroom cloud. That's a pressure front that has a slightly mushroom-cap'd shape.

    Trump is now saying that his generals believe it was an attack.

    This should get interesting.

    The generals of what, his GI Joe toy collection? How desperate is he to kill foreigners?

    Remember when something blew up, they called it what it was and then everybody shut their fucking mouth? May as well start investigating West Texas for that bomb that terrorists put in a fertilizer factory.

    Not without VERY rare materials, like a stage-grade Pyrotechnic connected to a 9v battery.

    There’s another slight thing missing from the explosion what was it.... oh yeah, RADIATION. Did I miss the impossible-to-miss flash that detonated atomic weapons have?
