Awful, just awful. That so many died because of that.Yeah, I think it might've just been sitting there for seven years.

I could see negligence, but surely the port is losing money having that sit around for so long? Just seize it and sell it for a cut price?Hahaha, welcome to nepotism/corruption/negligence.
You have around 8 criminal warlords that need to split the prize, its difficult to get all of them to agree on a split of the profits.I could see negligence, but surely the port is losing money having that sit around for so long? Just seize it and sell it for a cut price?
feck that's shitty. I guess they won't be found guilty and have to provide compensation either, then.You have around 8 criminal warlords that need to split the prize, its difficult to get all of them to agree on a split of the profits.
We live in a farm tbh
I have no idea how this person survived based on that other videoTweet

You can see the "fireworks"? inside the building before the main explosion hit.
P.S: You may dread watching this video, but it isn't as bad as the rest.
Maybe? There was the smaller explosions (fireworks or similar) before the large one (likely nitrate). Or have I missed something?Well even a stopped clock like @nimic is right twice a day but I think you may be confusing the two explosions.
Holy shit. Ammonia gas on top of everything else.Ammonium nitrate does not burn. However, it will support and increase the rate of combustion in the presence of flammable or combustible materials even in the absence of oxygen.
When heated it will melt, decompose and release toxic gases including nitrogen oxides (NOx) and ammonia gas (NH3). When heated excessively (e.g. as in a fire) it can cause an explosion in an enclosed space and closed containers or vessels may rupture violently.
feck me, this is the Donald level of obfuscation.Well, seems like my comment riled up the locals. If nothing else it's good to know that it's possible to set @Regulus Arcturus Black off in other ways than talking about Sweden's Covid19 response
For the record, I never said it was all fireworks, I just said it was fireworks + something else. Actually, I never said anything at all, because I'm not even remotely an expert (and watching videos of past explosions doesn't count). I just pointed to someone who had already been posted in this thread an hour earlier.
I have no clue what you're on about today oates, truly. If you can't handle the mild ribbing of being sarcastically called an expert (by implication), I can't fathom how you survived the Caf so far.feck me, this is the Donald level of obfuscation.
Thats mental. That was fireworks?The one I was thinking occurred in Tianjin in 2015.
Wouldn't be the first time you seem to have that difficulty.I have no clue what you're on about today oates, truly.
Fireworks use a type of gunpowder called black powder. That's old-timey gun powder, and it's super fecking explosive. Modern ammunition uses smokeless powder, which is highly combustible, but not nearly as explosive as black powder.Thats mental. That was fireworks?

when you watch these side by side, how did that person survive?
wow I got rektWouldn't be the first time you seem to have that difficulty.
No, it's definitely an accidentThats mental. That was fireworks?
Ammonium nitrate again there, it seems. Can't believe that was 5 years ago tbh.Thats mental. That was fireworks?
You would hope that censors left the conversations unedited, there would never be a better time to allow ‘Holy fecking shit..., etc.’ to add context to what we were seeing on the screen.Thats mental. That was fireworks?
Ha ha! True storyWell, seems like my comment riled up the locals. If nothing else it's good to know that it's possible to set @Regulus Arcturus Black off in other ways than talking about Sweden's Covid19 response

Just reading back on that. 800 tons of it. Mental!Ammonium nitrate again there, it seems. Can't believe that was 5 years ago tbh.
That's fair, though if so then I wasn't really referring to you in the first place. I was more talking about the guys who out of hand dismissed fireworks.Ha ha! True story
For the record I never said fireworks weren’t involved, just “like feck that massive explosion was fireworks”. I think that’s what all posters were getting at when you gave it to em off for being internet experts.
Again with not marking your edits tut tut.I have no clue what you're on about today oates, truly. If you can't handle the mild ribbing of being sarcastically called an expert (by implication), I can't fathom how you survived the Caf so far.
Even that shows fireworks exploding into the sky from the explosion. Maybe so much nitrate just utterly obliterated them before that could happen.The one I was thinking occurred in Tianjin in 2015.
fair enough.That's fair, though if so then I wasn't really referring to you in the first place. I was more talking about the guys who out of hand dismissed fireworks.
Weird, I have zero memory of that Tianjin explosion. Genuinely can't recall it.Just reading back on that. 800 tons of it. Mental!
I don't think the explosion half way through the close up was the main event. I reckon it was just a largish localised explosion which suggested he'd better get his skates on and run like feck.when you watch these side by side, how did that person survive?
I edited it in seconds, I'm truly sorry if this caused you any inconvenience.Again with not marking your edits tut tut.
Sorry, I didn't realize everyone who wanted to post about a massive explosion had to present their own theory to be accepted by the convention. Come to think of it, I sort of did, in that I very lightly made fun of people who suggested it had nothing to do with fireworks, which obviously implies I thought it had something to do with fireworks.Just commenting on how you like to criticise from the sidelines, offer nothing yourself and attempt to back it up with a post of some bloke no-one has any knowledge of being an expert who says "I'm calling this Beirut thing"
Which backs no-one up one way or another. Boy are you chatting some shit tonight
Not riled, just felt it was time to call you on some of your usual shite. No problem, you carry on boy, far from being inconvenient I tend to enjoy it. Thanks for the entertainment.I edited it in seconds, I'm truly sorry if this caused you any inconvenience.

I did not realize you were this easy to rile up, and I genuinely wasn't trying to.
EDIT #1: Edited to remove an extra period
It wasn't the best composed Tweet in the world, that's a fact. I didn't get it until I clicked it myself, the politics threads have conditioned me to the world of twitter threads.Yeah, that tweet was an unfortunate choice, @nimic
You really had to click on it and follow the twitter thread to understand what he was on about.
That's good to hear, and as long as I can get the last word in I'll be happy, man.Not riled, just felt it was time to call you on some of your usual shite. No problem, you carry on boy, far from being inconvenient I tend to enjoy it. Thanks for the entertainment.
Did that person survive or was it live streamed?when you watch these side by side, how did that person survive?
2750 tons, fecking hell.Tweet

2750 tons of ammonium nitrate... The explosion in West, Texas was only 30, but fortunately it was largely in the middle of nowhere, not a city.
Just seen this. What the actual fcuk!!!!!Before clicking the video: huh? That's not that big.
After clicking: Holy feck.
Yeah that looks like fireworks going off.yeah they look like a fireworks display until the big boom
