WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR
Someone wanted that port destroyed
-Not an airstrike [continuous small 'crackles' build up to the larger second explosion]
-Not fireworks [no colours]
-Not a simple chemical reaction
Assassinations aren't done with explosions that big, and the bomb was stationary - an extremely ineffective approach to such an attack.
We can rule out single targets.
-NO RADIATION DETECTED
-Nothing to do with 'watch the water'
Starting to get a better picture of the devastation at the Port of #Beirut.
Storage warehouses 6,9,10,11, and 12 are total losses, and cannot even be identified from an aerial prospective.
Neighboring facilities are destroyed, as well.

At least 60 dead and more than 3,000 injured in Beirut explosion
The blast has wounded thousands of people and caused widespread damage near to the city's port. A huge mushroom cloud was seen over the capital and thick smoke billowed over the city centre.
Speculation:
Is there a missile in this image?

AS WELL AS AN UPDATED FEED OF TWITTER POSTS ON PAGE
Multiple videos on page
Two massive explosions - one of which appeared to be sparked by the other - have rocked Beirut, destroying buildings and causing a mushroom cloud to rise above the city's skyline.
Initial reports claimed the blasts were focussed on the Lebanese capital's port region, with several government sources placing a warehouse storing fireworks at the epicentre.
Footage and images from the scene showed windows and doors caved in by the force of the blast, which could be felt as far away as Cyprus.
So far officials have said more than 60 people have died, while more than 3,000 are injured.
Multiple nations, including the UK, US and Israel, have offered support to the country - with Boris Johnson saying his government "is ready to provide support in any way we can".

>Some notes on nitric acid:
>Being a powerful oxidizing acid, nitric acid reacts violently with many organic materials and the reactions may be explosive.
>Nitric acid is neutralized with ammonia to give ammonium nitrate.
>Nitric acid has been used in various forms as the oxidizer in liquid-fueled rockets. These forms include red fuming nitric acid, white fuming nitric acid, mixtures with sulfuric acid, and these forms with HF inhibitor. IRFNA (inhibited red fuming nitric acid) was one of 3 liquid fuel components for the BOMARC missile.
>Being a strong oxidizing agent, nitric acid can react with compounds such as cyanides, carbides, or metallic powders explosively and with many organic compounds, such as turpentine, violently and hypergolically (i.e. self-igniting). Hence, it should be stored away from bases and organics.
>Looks like nitric acid could be reason for red explosion cloud and big boom
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitric_acid
>Red-orange tinges to explosions can indicate thermite. Thermite is a mix of auminum and iron and burns with a distinctive red-orange flame. The Hindenburg disaster was partly caused by the silver colour in the dope used on the airship being almost the same composition of iron and aluminium. A NASA guy researched this for years and the Zeppelin Museum confirmed his findings.

>Possible high yield explosives detonated near incendiaries?
>Just woke up. Talked to my dad about the blast.
>He used to work in intelligence (submarine, over 30 years ago). He thinks the blast may have been caused by C4 or RDX plus incendiary. Possibly a lot of it???? That shit is known for producing some pretty powerful blasts.
>Keep in mind this is his best guess
>>>/qresearch/10181354
>Yeah it was definitely a thermobaric explosion as the vacuum effect made that clearly obvious. That helps narrow things down significantly as that is pretty high end stuff and not something that is usually in the hands of terrorists.
>1) For a deployment of that particular weapon you can either altitude, ship deploy, hand deploy through launcher, manual set up, or on site robot deploy.
>2) We saw fireworks going off before the explosion. This indicates a fire in the building beforehand. In fact we saw there was a fire going off beforehand. The fire was likely the trigger given what we saw so that means it was likely a device in place.
>3) Given the seemingly putrid levels of security on that port (could be wrong but just what it looks like to me) it could have either been setup after a docking, through a dockhand, through an aquatic drop operation, through many, many different methods.
>4) The fire is the key. When was the fire started, who started it, where was the fire origination point, why was the fire not immediately contained, and for how long did the fire burn for. Whoever started that fire is likely the same person/group who setup the device as they used the fire as a type of wick while they were able to get to safe distance if this was the method. Meaning the fire likely was started at enough distance for them to get back into the water and reach safe distance.
>5) Who came into port today? One of those ships likely carried both the device and group/person who did it as the ship would be a much easier method of transport with much less risk of discovery.
>We also need to look into:
>a) Were any diplomats/anyone special in Beirut today? I guarantee someone was, just need to figure out who.
>b) What have been the responses from the potential antagonists. They always tell us a lot about things by how they offer their statement.

"Zoom" call during blast
Not sure of exact location.
Cee copied it here. Cee now casts a little bit of doubt on the post, for the following reasons:
This "what we know so far" post, copied from QR, was posted in every QR bread from #13028 thru #13035 within an hour after the explosion occurred.
That's a bot or an Op.
Ops have a purpose.
What is their purpose.
So just be aware, and do not automatically take this post at face value.
I follow the Pirate character.
Pirate posted the article and bolded the line that it resembles a post-nuclear landscape. I assume he posts things for a reason.
Here's another anon's theory.
>>10188554
>Warehouse containing ammonium nitrate is on fire heating it up causing it to fume. This will act as an oxidizer.
>Next there is and explosion (#1) which releases grain dust from the adjacent silos providing fuel to the oxygen rich environment.
>Then there is another explosion (#2) which ignites the mixture.
>The video from the back side is what got me thinking along these lines, where you can see the large dark cloud rise from the silos prior to it igniting and forming a mushroom cloud of vapor.
>The silo would have also directed the explosion like a shape charge and the water would have behave as a water impulse charge amplifying the damage.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8595359/Lebanese-authorities-repeatedly-warned-danger-hazardous-chemicals.html
Lebanese port officials are put under house arrest over Russian businessman's abandoned ammonium nitrate which blew up Beirut: String of warnings were made over chemicals impounded six years ago as astonishing images show it stored at the dock's hangar 12
Lebanon's cabinet has placed all officials responsible for Beirut port security since 2014 under house arrest
Comes after fire at a warehouse sparked a massive explosion that devastated the city, killing at least 135
Customs officers insisted authorities were repeatedly warned about the danger, but refused to take action
Explosive chemicals belonged to Russian businessman Igor Grechushkin before being impounded in port

That is a solid theory.
>>>/qresearch/10194418
So this anon believes there is evidence of radiation.
>>>/qresearch/10194642
Guess what anons? The wind does blow NE in Beruit. On the surface. But at 27,000 feet they blow directly at thehotradiation monitoring station at PEDARA, SICILIA, ITALIA. Rehovot, Central, Israel also shows a spike. I don't enjoy saying this. But anon is callingRadiation Confirmed.
https://radmon.org/index.php

So there are a lot of shills on QR that want to yell at anybody who is trying to find objective, verifiable data and consider whether it supports or refutes any hypothesis.
It seems they have an agenda more than I do.
Yet another anon strongly believes it WAS a nuk. Here's their post:
>>>/qresearch/10194989
>>First explosion was caused by Gabriel anti ship missile of Israel. The second explosion was caused by Israeli Delilah missile from F16 carrying 6 kiloton tactical nuclear warhead.
>>plasma ball
>>white color = extreme temps
>it WAS a nuk
Chances are slim considering the explosion type. Compare every explosion of a nuke versus every explosion of munitions or TNT you can find.
My Guess yesterday before they came out with 2750 number was 1-3 tons based on comparisons with similar explosive force.

I like this theory pretty well too.
>>>/qresearch/10195620
>I think the answer to a lot of this is more mundane than nuclear weapons - yet also more damning in the long run, but more difficult to explain. It's not the "aha!" Moment of coming across a grand conspiracy to blow up a warehouse.
>We know hezbollah and related terrorist groups manufacture weapons. Ammonium nitrate is a key compound used in rockets and explosives. A Russian/Ukranian guy could send a ship down to one of these ports (or a captain could just defect with the cargo), the local authorities could seize it (and who knows what the paperwork says they found) - it goes into storage and can then be pilfered from as a strategic supply for manufacturing to produce less-crude IEDs or even some proper munitions grade explosives.
>What we are seeing unfold throughout the middle east with sabotage incidents is likely two prong. First - the media is suddenly reporting on industrial accidents and/or they have entered the public sphere of discussion so as to cloud which events are acts of sabotage and which ones are just run of the mill accidents.
>The second part of it is that there are likely a number of shadow ops being carried out to shut down supply and manufacture for various terrorist groups and it is likely multinational with black ops doing their thing (and it doesn't really matter who your sponsoring nation is in black ops - you run across people who do things and their sponsoring nations give them slack in their leashes).
>It could also be that the whole plot to import fertilizer and store it in such a way was the attack, itself - and all that needed to be done was assign some hapless welders to go do a job and set things in motion.
>I lean more heavily toward the first idea - but the second is also plausible.
>I like this theory pretty well too.
Yes that is more along the lines of rational thinking (expanded).
I don't know if this analysis bears on the Beirut explosion or not, but capturing it for the sake of completeness, for study.
At least we got them thinking about timestamps, wind speed and direction, type of radiation, lack of correlation from other rad sensors, etc.
>>>/qresearch/10197474
>The blast wind at sea level may exceed one thousand km/h, or ~300 m/s, approaching the speed of sound in airโฆ
>โฆIonizing radiation
>About 5% of the energy released in a nuclear air burst is in the form of ionizing radiation: neutrons, gamma rays, alpha particles and electrons moving at speeds up to the speed of light. Gamma rays are high energy electromagnetic radiation; the others are particles that move slower than light. The neutrons result almost exclusively from the fission and fusion reactions, while the initial gamma radiation includes that arising from these reactions as well as that resulting from the decay of short-lived fission products.
>The intensity of initial nuclear radiation decreases rapidly with distance from the point of burst because the radiation spreads over a larger area as it travels away from the explosion (the inverse-square law). It is also reduced by atmospheric absorption and scattering.
>The character of the radiation received at a given location also varies with distance from the explosion.[23] Near the point of the explosion, the neutron intensity is greater than the gamma intensity, but with increasing distance the neutron-gamma ratio decreases. Ultimately, the neutron component of the initial radiation becomes negligible in comparison with the gamma component. The range for significant levels of initial radiation does not increase markedly with weapon yield and, as a result, the initial radiation becomes less of a hazard with increasing yield. With larger weapons, above 50 kt (200 TJ), blast and thermal effects are so much greater in importance that prompt radiation effects can be ignored.
>The neutron radiation serves to transmute the surrounding matter, often rendering it radioactive. When added to the dust of radioactive material released by the bomb itself, a large amount of radioactive material is released into the environment. This form of radioactive contamination is known as nuclear fallout and poses the primary risk of exposure to ionizing radiation for a large nuclear weapon.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_nuclear_explosions
>Assuming times are UTC, readings spiked at 14:51. That's one hour and forty three minutes after the explosion. So winds at 27,000 feet were roughly 90 km/h. 90 X 1.75 = roughly 158 kilometers. Distance from Beruit to Pedara, Italy? 1,868.03 km according to gargle maps. Anon does not know if particles could travel all that way at 1,000 km/h. Anon does not know if times are local or UTC. Thinking UTC though. Blast in Beruit happened at 13:08 UTC. That much is known. If time stamps are local time then subtract one hour travle time. UTC-1. However, and this is important to note. Anon has seen many a clock on many pieces of equipment, cameras, VCRs, clock radios, and yes, even personal computers, where the time was not set correctly. All this being said the data is somewhat compelling. Anon agrees other sensors should be lit up like Christmas if not compromised. Which brings me back to the somewhat remote location of this recording station when compared to the others. Make of it what you will.

P-8A Poseidon
Armament: Torpedoes, cruise missiles, bombs, mines Propulsion: Two high-bypass CFM56 turbofan engines Airspeed: 490 knots Range: 1,200 nautical miles radius with four hours on station. Crew: Nine
A militarized version of the Boeing 737 commercial aircraft, the P-8A Poseidon is intended to replace the U.S. Navyโs ageing P-3 Orion fleet as the serviceโs front-line anti-submarine warfare aircraft.
The P-8A has an active multi-static and passive acoustic sensor system, inverse synthetic aperture radar, new electronic support measures system, new electro-optical/infrared sensor and a digital magnetic anomaly detector.
Its nine-person crew includes a dual-pilot cockpit and five mission crew (plus relief pilot and in-flight technician). The P-8A has workstations with universal multi-function displays, and ready accommodation for additional workstations and workload sharing. The Poseidon is armed with an internal five-station weapons bay, four wing pylons, two centerline pylons, all supported by digital stores management allowing for carriage of joint missiles, torpedoes and mines. Boeing was awarded the contract to develop the P-8A on June 14, 2004. The P-8A will be a derivative of a modified Boeing 737-800ERX airliner, bringing together a reliable airframe and high-bypass turbo fan jet engine with a fully connected, state-of-the-art open architecture mission system.
Coupled with next-generation sensors, the P-8A is intended to improve antisubmarine and anti-surface warfare capabilities. The P-8A program went through a preliminary design review in November 2005. The Navy plans to purchase 108 production P-8As. The first aircraft is scheduled to be delivered for flight test in 2009, with IOC planned for 2013.

P-8A Poseidon
The P-8A Poseidon is a modified Boeing 737-800ERX, bringing together a highly reliable airframe and high-bypass turbo fan jet engine with a fully connected, state-of-the-art open architecture mission system. This combination, coupled with next-generation sensors, will dramatically improve anti-submarine warfare (ASW), and anti-surface warfare (ASuW) capabilities.
Features
Open Mission System Architecture: reconfigurable and expandable system facilitating easier, more affordable upgrades.
Sensors: Active multi-static and passive acoustic sensor system, inverse synthetic aperture/synthetic aperture radar, new electronic support measures system, new electro-optical/infrared sensor, digital magnetic anomaly detector.
Nine-person crew: dual-pilot cockpit, five mission crew (plus relief pilot and in-flight technician). Workstations with universal multi-function displays, ready accommodation for additional workstation, workload sharing.
Lethality: internal five-station weapons bay, four wing pylons, two centerline pylons, all supported by digital stores management allowing for carriage of joint missiles, torpedoes and mines. Search stores: rotary reloadable, pneumatically controlled sonobuoy launcher.
Net Ready: Link-11/Link-16, Internet Protocol, Common Data Link (CDL), FORCEnet compliant.
Performance-based support/logistics with availability a key performance parameter.
Background
The Navy's replacement platform for the P-3C, the P-8A Poseidon, is designed to secure the Navy's future in long-range maritime patrol capability, while transforming how the Navy's maritime patrol and reconnaissance force will man, train, operate and deploy. The P-8A will provide more combat capability from a smaller force and less infrastructure while focusing on worldwide responsiveness and interoperability with traditional manned forces and evolving unmanned sensors.
Boeing was awarded the contract to develop the P-8A on June 14, 2004. The P-8A will be a derivative of a modified Boeing 737-800ERX airliner, bringing together a reliable airframe and high-bypass turbo fan jet engine with a fully connected, state-of-the-art open architecture mission system. Coupled with next-generation sensors, the P-8A will dramatically improve antisubmarine and anti-surface warfare capabilities.

One final thing. The ICAO IDs for these 3 aircraft appear to be:
AE6784
AE67AF
AE1D97
#1 is a real plane, I was able to locate its trace from 2 months ago https://liveuamap.com/en/2020/8-june-black-seacrimea-us-navy-p8-poseidon-ae6784-usaf-rc135w although the label conflating a Rivet Joint with a P8 Poseidon appears to be wrong.
#2 appeared on a table of unknown aircraft dated 7/31/2020 so it's probably a real ICAO# too. https://www.live-military-mode-s.eu/unkown2.php?start=10500
#3 Looks like it's real ICAO# too, appears in a 1/2019 log: AE1D97 160764 โ 2019-01-14 20:12:10 EP-3E United States USN |
https://mt-milcom.blogspot.com/2019/01/mode-sads-milcom-intercepts-14-january.html
and if they are currently active on ADSB anywhere in the world, it might be possible to find them and then click history to recover the historical flight tracks. I tried that and was not able to find any of them. Which only means I failed to locate the flight history at this time. Might be possible later, if we catch any of these a/c on ADSB.
Found this video today.
Downloaded it for share.
Upon review it looks like it maybe faked the missile in the video. Thought?
Anyone with better video analysis tools care to chime in?

IF the video isn't modified, it appears to show something like a cruise missile incoming from the upper left shortly before the white colored dome-shaped explosion.
Will have a look at the tweets.
Problem with video nowadays is that the tools to edit are widespread.
IF IT'S REAL THO...!
So what is
>"A laser-powered camera"
? Web search is not finding anything like that and I never heard of it. There are some uses of lasers for 3D imaging
Probably tons of military applications for lasers for designating targets, illuminating targets, specialty imaging.
I can't find what "laser-powered camera" would refer to.
>suggests fake & gay
<FrenchSeal.jpg
>Not definitive
Yeah. Im in this boat. Not sure and Laser camera doesnt help the message.
The whole cause&effect is totally up in the air as far as I'm concerned. If somebody produced the "missile incoming" video instantly right after the explosion it would be a little more credible. Now they have had over 24 hours and a lot of video production can happen in 24 hours.
I will keep collecting evidence if anything new shows up but the real answer may never be known by the public.
An anon ripped the video. Let's preserve it in case need to refute ever again.

If you pause on the frames where the "missile" is descending, it is clearly just an image superimposed on the video.
Extremely fake, please do not spread information without at least first scrutinizing it yourself.

I brought it only here to our frens to do just that and stated I think this is FAKE. See belowโฆ
I did not share or push any mis-info.
>Upon review it looks like it maybe faked the missile in the video. Thought?
>Anyone with better video analysis tools care to chime in?
Re Read ^^^
I asked in our thread on on a board I own dedicated to finding FACTS. Which is exactly what WE did by working together as I am not a pro with video softwares. As stated by meโฆ
Together We Win!
A search for truth begins with assembling evidence for study. The anons here did exactly that. We don't automatically believe or disbelieve, accept or dismiss. We study. We look for evidence. We examine others' opinions. We consider alternative hypotheses, weighing them and assessing their probative value.
The anons here conducted themselves consistent with our objective: to discover the truth.
Thank you for playing.
What is this? I cannot verify the high radiation reading.

During POTUS news conference today, heard him say, twice, with long dramatic pause, "We have not see anything like this โฆ in a long time." He said it twice in relation to the Beirut "event" as he called it, while talking about sending aid and having consultations with other nations that want to help.
EU radiation monitoring data does NOT show heightened radiation in the stations they report, either.

It was intentional and it was Israelโฆhmmm
If this is true, it's highly interesting.
However there's no easy to to ascertain if the missing seismic data upon which the article is based was falsified. It is a bit suspicious that only one station picked it up and went offline prior to the blast.

Report: Beirut Massive Explosion Was Preceded by 6 Explosions at 11 Sec. Intervals
By David Israel - August 13, 20200
According to Israeli analyst, journalist, entrepreneur, and cyber expert Amir Rapaport, the massive explosion in Beirut on August 4 was preceded by six exceptional events, five of which took place at exactly the same time intervals. Rapaport reported Thursday morning in Israel Defense (ืืคืืฆืืฅ ืืขื ืง ืืืืืจืืช ืงืืื ืฉืืฉื ืคืืฆืืฆืื ืืืคืจืฉื ืืื ืืืื) that unequivocal seismological data point to the unusual events, which could be explained by an act of sabotage or the malfunction of military weapons.
(L-R) 5 explosions at precise intervals, followed by a bigger one, and then the massive explosion, Aug. 4, 2020 / Screenshot
These amazing findings were discovered and analyzed by geophysics experts in collaboration with the Israeli Tamar engineering group, and were also passed on to the higher political and security echelons.
The Tamar Group, founded by former Israeli Corps of Engineers officer Boaz Hayun, has been involved in the field of sabotage and controlled explosions in Israel for decades, as well as working with airports around the world to detect explosives. Among other things, the group performs special work on explosives, including explosions in buildings and complex experiments. It includes the National Fireworks Laboratory, which is responsible on behalf of the Israeli Standards Institute for the licensing of all fireworks, which come mainly from China, and the Israeli Center for Explosives Safety.
Amir Rapaport is the founder of Cybertech Global Events, an international business platform for cyber, tech, and innovation.
The reported dramatic turnaround in understanding the disaster in Beirut began with a seismological investigation, which collected seismic data from sensors scattered throughout the Middle East. It turned out that the semiological institutes in Israel, which are located a good distance from the focal point of the explosion, absorbed well the ground noises created by the large explosion of the ammonium nitrate charge in Beirut, which were equivalent to a minor earthquake. But the same semiological instruments were unable to detect a discovery made only by seismographs located in the deep of the Mediterranean, between Cyprus and Lebanon, about 45 miles from Beirut and at a depth of about 1.36 miles.
It is a system of six seismic sensors, called cy603, which was placed deep underwater as part of an international geological project for the purpose of researching and predicting earthquakes in the Mediterranean basin as well as global monitoring of weapons experiments.
Normally, the sensorsโ data are available to the public via the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) website, which aggregates information from global seismographic research institutions.
However, shortly after 6 PM on August 5 โ that is, less than 24 hours after the Beirut disaster โ access to all the data collected prior to the event was blocked, and visitors to the site are notified that no information is available.
Of course, nothing can really be taken away once it was posted online, and so some geophysicists managed to obtain the deleted data and found that this simograph data matched other regional sensitive sensor data regarding the Beirut event. It appears that no one else has noticed the facts revealed by the investigation of the retrieved seismographic data:
The great explosion of ammonium nitrate on August 4 was preceded by the six mysterious explosions. These explosions were equivalent to the force of several tons of TNT each (it is difficult to determine the exact weights at this stage of the investigation), and the time intervals between them were the same: 11 seconds.
As can be seen in the simographic chart, five identical explosions can be detected with certainty at an interval of 11 seconds from each other, while the sixth explosion, 11 more seconds later, was several magnitudes bigger.
Then, after another 43 seconds, the huge explosion that destroyed part of Beirut occurred โ and was detected by all the seismographs throughout the Middle East.
The Tamar Group analysis raises big question marks about the common hypothesis disseminated by the media that the Beirut explosion started with a fire on the ground inside a harbor warehouse, which caused the flare-up of fireworks and then the gigantic explosion of thousands of tons of ammonia nitrate.
The Tamar theory does match foreign media reports (denied unconvincingly by Lebanese officials) that under the normal harborโs warehouses where the ammonium nitrate and fireworks were stored, there existed an underground city of warehouses and tunnels, the remains of which are clearly visible in the aftermath reports โ operated by Hezbollah, the real owner of the Beirut port.

Hezbollah Denies Weapons Storage at Beirut Explosion Site, Despite New Evidence
Preliminary investigations by independent observers have found some very disturbing facts that appear to change the narrative on the cause of the massive explosion that damaged or destroyed much of the city of Beirut last Tuesday.
Careful study of video of the blast shot from multiple angles and from multiple sources indicate there was not one but two separate explosions, about 30 seconds apart, and that the second explosion was definitely not from ammonium nitrate.
In addition, the narrative being pushed by Hezbollah and their toadies in the Lebanese government is mostly misinformation. The story told by the terrorists is that the ship originated in Georgia and was bound for Mozambique to drop off a couple of thousand tons of ammonium nitrate. It stopped in Lebanon and was prevented from leaving port for six years because the ship wasnโt seaworthy.
One big problem with that tall tale: the region in Georgia from which the ammonium nitrate was said to have originated has only been exporting it for three years. And thereโs more.
Caroline Glick:
Second, as strategic analyst David Wurmser explained in a detailed forensic analysis of the blasts published over the weekend, Lebanese experts claim Beirut, not Mozambique, was always the shipโs true destination. The port inspectors who initially seized the Rhosus told a Lebanese television reporter that Iran paid for the ammonium nitrate cargo.
Wurmser noted Hezbollah controlled both Hangar 12 and Hangar 9, the site of the initial fire. Both hangars were located directly adjacent to the seaโprime real estate for parties keen to bring in and export items without having them examined or noticed by anyone.
As for Mozambique, officials there claim they had no knowledge of the shipment.
For more than a decade, Western authorities have been busting Hezbollah cells in their countries and confiscating thousands of pounds of ammonium nitrate.
Connecting the dots, Wurmser concludes Hangar 12 was not a storage area for a single shipment of ammonium nitrate transiting from Georgia to Mozambique. Instead, it was Hezbollahโs shipping dock for ammonium nitrate to its cells around the world.
The question of more than one blast appears to be cut and dried.
The second aspect of the devastation that points to the true significance of Hezbollahโs control of Lebanon is the fact that Hezbollah and Aoun are lying about the blasts. There were two blasts at the port, 28 seconds apart, not one.
As the videos of the blasts show, about half an hour after the fire broke out at Hangar 9, a first explosion occurred. Whereas the official story claims the blast came from fireworks stored at the warehouse, Wurmser and other experts dismiss this. The explosion, Wurmser explains, โproduced thick whitish-gray โdirtyโ smoke, consistent with some high explosives and even rocket fuel.โ
Wurmser contends the second, and most destructive, blast was weapons-grade ammonium nitrate, although arguably a larger quantity than claimed.

TONS of ammonium nitrate discovered at Beirut port weeks after same substance sparked devastating blast
An inspection of Beirut port has uncovered tons of ammonium nitrate, the same highly explosive chemical substance that sparked the massive blast which ravaged the Lebanese capital in early August.
Following a meeting with top military officials in charge of work at the ill-fated port, Lebanese President Michel Aoun announced that yet another 4.35 tons of ammonium nitrate had been found at the location. It is believed to have been stored near the entrance to the port for some 15 years, since 2005.
The worrying discovery was made on September 2 and the ammonium nitrate stockpile has since been safely destroyed, Aoun said.
During their search, the Lebanese military also came across 143 containers holding other flammable material, he added.
