I haven't caught up on the story yet. Is this an accident or act of terrorism? 

Its appearing to be accidental but much is unkown

 

This could be more catastrophic than 9/11. I hope I am wrong, but the city center is destroyed

Damn. It's a tragedy either way. Was just curious.

I have family living in Beirut, luckily they are fine and only their apartment took some damage but they say that there is so much chaos in the city

I wonder who is responsible for storing the ammonia nitrate in such an unsafe and irresponsible way for 6 (!) years

Do you think someone purposley set it all off? 

No I don't think so, Hisbollah and Israel already said that they are not responsible, Israel even offered help 

ISIS would have already told the world if it was them 

I think it was an accident

ISIS tell the world even when it ain't them, they tried to claim that Vegas shooter, the wankers.

Nah. If you look at the video there's clearly a big fire already going before the explosion goes off. I read that a welder working on the docks accidentally started a fire which got out of control and unfortunately spread to the warehouse where the ammonium nitrate was being stored.

Not saying either did it, but Israel and Hesbollah aren't averse to lying :lol:

okay question. What idiots keep that much ammonium nitrate by heavily flammable areas?

With 2750 tons of nitrate, I’d wonder if all of it went off. (Good change it didn’t)

 I’d imagine the cleanup in that area will be extremely dangerous. 

How’d you know so much about that shit, you ain’t a Brigade Rosse are ya? :lol:
