Well what do you think happened?


No one knows, there's lots of theories including fireworks but that's likely a no.


Obviously explosives of some kind that are rumoured to have been there since 2014.


Until they investigate and figure out what it was exactly, everyone is guessing.


But you also don't need to fan any flames of stupidity by making idiotic claims.

1. The truth may sound idiotic to you, but that does not make it any less of the truth.


Until it's investigated, it's not truth but bs.


2. Israel will be blamed for everything.


They haven't blamed Israel for this that I've seen. Most of it is internal blame so far.


Seriously, can you go one day without lying and making a jackass of yourself?

I doubt we will ever know the truth. There will be an investigation which will uncover some findings. 1/2 the people won't believe it. Conspiracy theories will multiply exponentially. And in the end everybody will believe their own convenient truths.

Beirut has industry and shipping.

Beirut has large-scale paramilitary groups.

Lebanon has an army.

Beirut has plenty of things going on the Israelis would like to see stopped.

Coulda been any of those.

I'll be content with whatever the investigation concludes. If they positively nail down this incident to one of those four causes, that don't mean the other three don't exist, just that they weren't responsible for this one.

For perspective, Timothy McVeigh used two tons of ammonium nitrate in the Oklahoma City bombing. Lebanon stored 2750 tons of the same materiel near residential neighborhoods in Beirut.
For perspective, the blast was at the harbor, which argues pretty strongly it was a ship going up.

Just like what happened in Texas City, Texas, in 1947.

So something explodes somewhere and someone living somewhere in Canada not only knows what exploded but why?

What an amazing internet we live in.

It just goes to illustrate the type of immigrants we allow into this country .

Canada donating $5 million to Lebanon to help out.
Amazing, and yet Groper STILL can't find the money he promised to our veterans. But boy, let something happen in a foreign country and there's good ol' Prince Groper of Canada, finding millions to send them.
