Yeah I see the mushroom cloud and I'm thinking 1945 vibesYou’ve got to fear the worst with such huge explosion.
my thoughts exactlyHoly shit
That can't be just fireworks, can it?
Was literally about to say the same thing. That explosion looks like it ripped up all the land around the port. Bloody hell.That can't be just fireworks, can it?
This. Headphones caused tinnitus.Before clicking the video: huh? That's not that big.
After clicking: Holy feck.
Glad to hear it.Man I almost shat my pants. Everyone in the family is safe so far
I just moved to jbeil, which is like 45km away. My house shook as a result. At first I thought it was an earthquake, then 10 seconds later everyone said they heard the explosion.Glad to hear it.
How much of the city is affected?Just the proximity to the port or beyond that?
I don't think Israel would carry out a strike of that magnitude, not if they can't justify it as a tit-for-tat strike against Hezbollah. Even then you'd think they'd hit the South, not the capital.Are we sure its fireworks? I have a feeling it was Israel bombing us. No way does a fireworks explosion do this much damage, the 2006 bombings didn't do this much.
From the nearby sea I assume. The explosion was in the harbour.Looks like the second blast pushes an extreme amount of water? Or is it just me?
If this is true then that certainly makes Israel the most suspected culprits...Some sources saying its a warehoue for hezbollah arms. Would make more sense.
@Kaos The Karantina area, which is basically 100s of buildings stuck together, each either at least 50/60 years old or made of wood etc. (Extremely poor people live there, like 7 or 8 in 1 room). All those houses are destroyed and people are stuck under the rubble.
Did the explosion cause a tsunami, and did the video end in some sort of water submersion? The video was taken from a fair distance, I can’t see it being anything other than fatal for all those people much closer, driving cars etc.Tweet
