Yep....that was a big BOOM. Early reports are that it was a "fireworks warehouse".............I'm skeptical. I've seen videos of other fireworks explosions and they always seem a lot different.

Lebanon has been teeter tottering on more sectarian conflict lately.
And they have huge economic problems, Iranian influence, spillage from the Syrian civil war.......it is like a powder keg.
Some of those Lebanese women are pretty hot though.

Hmmm are they still happening in Iran?

I saw the Video earlier. Based on the blast wave leveling buildings I'm going to say it probably wasn't a stash of black powder.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

They're now saying it was a warehouse full of sodium nitrate confiscated from a container ship several weeks ago and being stored in a warehouse in the port......no word yet on what (or who?) set it off. They are reporting the port of Beruit has been completely destroyed and is on the verge of phsyically collapsing.
