It's a good thing that the port was where this took place and not right in the centre of the city. At least a lot of it happened out towards the sea. I reckon the toll will pass 100, but seriously it is a miracle that so many more people were not killed.

This is still a tragedy but Lebanon has always emerged from situations much worse than this, and they will emerge from this even stronger. They always do.

I hope so my bro, with all the other bullshit happening there they certainly didn't need this, accident or attack.

Hearing people say they saw drones/odd aircraft before it happened, wouldn’t put it past an Israeli attack on a weapons depot/storage facility especially if it’s Hezbollahs as tension and threats have ramped up.

Also video footage coming out of possibly a missiles shell they might have been found with Hebrew writing in it, they also attacked Syria yesterday and have been attacking Syrian weapon storage and manufacturing plants.

Look up Black Tom - New York. Still thought to be one of the biggest non-nuclear explosions in history. Happened in NY Harbour in 1915, bunch of munitions destined for Russia (fighting Germany and Austria at the time). The leading theory is that German intelligence ignited it, but I'm not sure its ever been proven beyond any doubt.

Ports are dangerous places.

2 or 3 of those seem very plausible and wouldn’t put it past Israel doing so

Lebanon's General Security Chief Abbas Ibrahim said earlier "highly explosive material" that had been confiscated years ago was being stored in the warehouse, which is just minutes' walk from popular shopping and nightlife districts.

To be honest I wouldn't believe anything the corrupt government thats fucked our home country to line their own pockets say anymore, theres a shortage on food ontop because they rather sell to neighbouring countries who offer a few more dollars per kg than feed the already starving locals

If it were an attack, you'd look at Israel and Iran first.

That was a massive explosion, probably one of the biggest I've seen. Very much reminded me of the 2015 Tianjin explosion in China which was also massive.
