An explosion of huge force in the capital of Lebanon hit the frame

The network is discussing footage of a terrible explosion that today shook the Lebanese capital Beirut. It happened in the port of the city.
The footage shows how first a column of gray smoke appears, after which an explosion of enormous force is heard.

The blast wave from it blows a lot hundreds of meters from the epicenter.

In this case, at the first stage of the explosion, red-orange "tongues" are visible. An explosion literally turns a building in the immediate vicinity into dust.

Above the port, a white-gray explosion mushroom was visible.

Filming after the explosion captured the port area of ​​Beirut, which has been reduced to rubble. Debris of structures, metal and concrete fragments are visible on the streets of the city. The frames show buildings, from which only reinforced concrete skeletons remained.

This looks like the end of the world in Lebanon.

Fire brigades, ambulance brigades and rescuers are drawn to the scene. At the moment, there is no exact information about the cause of such a powerful explosion, or the number of victims. At the same time, Lebanese Minister of Health Hamad Hassan said that as a result of the explosion, hundreds of people were injured, including serious ones. However, it can be assumed that with such a force of the explosion, unfortunately, it was not without casualties.

With such a force of the explosion, with such destruction, when the buildings were literally "blown away" and the ceilings collapsed, unfortunately there will be many, very many victims.
Considering also the fact that the port of Beirut is located practically in the densely populated city center ...

Very similar to the explosion of an ODB (volume detonating ammunition). And eyewitnesses said that at the beginning they heard a small "pop", and then this horror happened ...

Everything is clear with you. According to your detonation is impossible, as such. With what hangover back in the Russian-Japanese war, from a successful hit of just one shell in the area of ​​the ship's artillery cellars, detonated the entire ammunition rack and even at the same time tore off the gun turrets? This has always been considered a great success. And they didn’t hit every single shell of the cellar, as you are trying to imagine. Detonated all at once.

[EvilLion]

And there is gunpowder in caps / checkers, but not in casings, and in a confined space, the gunpowder does not detonate, it burns quickly, giving gas, which pushes the projectile out of the barrel, it can demolish the tower if the whole cellar is on fire at once. The burnout of the ammo rack in a tank with 10-meter torches is similar.

[EvilLion]

If a fire is triggered in a confined space, the ammunition will detonate sooner or later. And they have nowhere to fly around, so they will detonate a lot, demolish the building and scatter the remains around the neighborhood.

[EvilLion]

In the case of aerial bombs, they simply do not have a fuse, they will be installed when suspended on a carrier, and military explosives are very resistant to detonation for safety reasons. After the shelling of Khmeinim with a message. about the defeat of the bomb depot there was a discussion in the BMPD blog about this, they recalled that even during the Great Patriotic War it was noted that hitting bomb piles at airfields only leads to their scatter.

The fire provoked an explosion of nitrate fertilizers.

On "Russia-24" they gave a creeping line about the detonation of sodium nitrate. A version from an imbecile expert?
Sodium nitrate does not detonate in principle. Even if mixed with fuel: diesel fuel, flour, etc. The video clearly shows the propagation of a shock wave - a clear sign of detonation. But ammonium nitrate - he could bang.
In 1921, at a chemical plant in Oppau in Germany, 12 thousand tons of a mixture of ammonium sulfate and nitrate exploded, the energy of the explosion was estimated at 4-5 kilotons of TNT equivalent.
In Oppau, out of 1000 buildings, 800 were destroyed, and 7500 people were left homeless. The explosion destroyed the nearby villages of Frankenthal and Edigheim. Trains standing at nearby stations were thrown off the tracks, and within a radius of 70 km, including the cities of Ludwigshafen and Mannheim, windows were shattered in all buildings, the sound of an explosion was heard in Munich, located 300 km away.

“When carrying out welding work to seal the holes through which intruders could commit theft, a detonation of the cargo stored in the warehouse in the port occurred with 2700 tons of ammonium nitrate - ammonium nitrate"- Lebanese TV channel LBC International, referring to the preliminary findings of the security forces.
But Trump doesn't believe you , but he believes his generals “Judging by the explosion, it seems that this is exactly the case. I had communication with some of our great generals... They believe it was an attack. They understand more than I do. This was not some type of industrial explosion. There some kind of bomb exploded, Yes"

Pyrotechnics are not equipped with high explosives, and black powder does not detonate, but burns.

Yes, here without any expertise it is clear that the ammunition depot caught fire and exploded.
The reason is that the truth can no longer be found. Israel, of course, would say - it caught fire itself, the Lebanese - that an act of terrorism by Israel.
The force of the explosion is about the same as from the Russian ODAB, judging by the cloud. So, fifty tons exploded.
ODAB has a guaranteed radius of 300 meters, but the area just defeat is 20 times more than guaranteed.
There will be many victims in the city center. In vain they arranged a warehouse in such a place.

The version about pyrotechnics has a plus: the video of the fire before the explosion is very similar to the burning of small firecrackers. There are also disadvantages: a) the burning of a warehouse with cartridges looks the same; b) where is the large pyrotechnic warehouse in Beirut (?) - I don't remember that the culture of the Arabs and other peoples of the region had a great love for peaceful amusement pyrotechnic amusements. These are not Chinese. Moreover, during the explosion of pyrotechnics, the scattering burning lights will be at least slightly visible. After all, not until the last gram, it will detonate. Pyrotechnics are in small packaging: shells for bombs and missiles. At least a part should just ignite and scatter with the main explosion. In addition, pyrotechnic mixtures contain a lot of metal salts for coloring flashes in different colors. This should also manifest itself in a flash somehow.

It appears differently. Namely, the so-called Prandl-Glauert effect. A sharp drop in pressure following a shock wave, due to which moisture in the air condenses (dew point shifts). Steam it. It can be seen that the explosion is precisely inside this white cloud-ball, which immediately disappeared to where.

Twitter. "

[abrakadabre]

Lebanese Prime Minister Hassan Diyab named the blast in the port of Beirut, which killed more than 70 people, was the improper storage of 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate for six years

Now this is more like the truth. And in terms of power and type of explosion. In general, most often during explosive explosions, the subsequent smoke cloud is either black or white. It depends on the ratio of explosive components: lack or excess of the oxidizing agent in the mixture. If the oxidizing agent is insufficient for a 100% reaction, then the smoky cloud is dark. For example, an explosion of oil products, black powder, etc. If there is enough or excess oxidant, the cloud will be white.
in this case, the cloud is white. Which is very similar to saltpeter, which contains just a lot of oxygen to sustain and develop an explosion.

And further. on a separate video, you can see a bursting flame ... as if something is burning under pressure. Then everything is blown up into the air like an underground explosion.

[tralflot1832]

Lebanese officials are already denying pyrotechnics, while the formulation of other explosives.

[Vadim237]

This is definitely not pyrotechnics, an instant explosion without fire - pyrotechnics do not explode like that.

[Quadro]

They have already said that ammonium nitrate is from contraband.

[Andrey VOV]

Saltpeter exploded, the most destructive thing ... at the end of the 19th century, a ship in a port exploded in America and the city was generally blown to hell

[Bashkirkhan]

A fire at Grancan in 1947 (FR. Grandcamp) led to the detonation of about 2100 tons of ammonium nitrate (ammonium nitrate) at the port of Texas City, USA.

[Vladimir1155]

Halifax city

Halifax was formerly (Canada) in 1917.

[anjey]

The barge with pyrotechnics, it seems, was only for cover, this was when there was the first explosion ...

[Tank jacket]

The building of the Russian embassy was damaged ...

It's at the port. Residential areas of the city are very close.

Yes, I understood that it was in the port, but why arrange a warehouse of such crap there! The desert is small, or what?

[Zeev zeev]

There is no desert in Lebanon.

[Sobol]

Quote: ZeevZeev

There is no desert in Lebanon.

I agree that no, but a place further from the city could be found. By the way, Israel offered to help Lebanon. Worthy of Respect!

[Quadro]

What the fuck is a place away? This saltpeter was confiscated as contraband, where do you propose to drag 2000+ thousand tons of saltpeter?

[Roman1970_1]

The Lebanese say it is confiscated. Where else to store it?

[mace]

well, nothing surprising here, arabs, sir

[A. Privalov]

The explosion in the port of Beirut damaged the building of the diplomatic mission of Kazakhstan.

The press service of the Kazakh Foreign Ministry reported that the consul received minor injuries.

A representative of the Russian diplomatic mission told the agency that an employee of the embassy was wounded by the glass blown out by the blast wave. According to him, the woman "just got hurt."

[Lord of the Sith]

Big badabum.

So, even Hezbollah said that Israel is out of business.

[Last centurion]

so how many are in kilotons? 0.1-0.2?

[Vadim237]

We dance from 100 tons.

[uranium]

not sickly it is definitely not pyrotechnics.

[Zeev zeev]

Meanwhile in Jerusalem:
"Kan Bet" radio station reported that Israel offered its help to Lebanon.

The proposal was passed on to the Lebanese government through international intermediaries. This is primarily about humanitarian and medical assistance.

Defense Minister Benny Gantz and Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi were the initiators of the offer of assistance to the state with which Israel has no diplomatic relations, according to the Kan Corporation news service.
This is how he is - the Israeli aggressor.

[anjey]

Well, yes, so that no one would have guessed, it is necessary to dance from someone who benefits from it, and all the passages with the help may not be entirely sincere, this is just politics, especially if you read how you personally raised these offers of help for everyone.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

I just did not understand how there are only 10 dead with such a bang

[sergo1914]

Pyrotechnics? Are you all sick? Pyrotechnics are in Tushino, in the Opener, at the SPARTAKA matches (The greatest club, if that). And here ... we once, while studying, muddied such crap in an armored camera. Within ... excrement ... The exit is monstrous. But the Arabs do not have that. And the Jews are dumb for such hypotheses. Either ours asserted itself, or a coincidence. Wind, temperature, aluminum dust, ... a crushed portrait YOU KNOW WHOM ...

all the same, Israel is to blame, should have warned the Lebanese

[Simargl]

Quote: andreykolesov123

Right! They should have warned that you need to store saltpeter carefully or it will be fraught.

[mace]

they are already tired of warning their neighbors that weapons and explosives are not toys for children

[Yarik]

Most likely this is ammonium nitrate tore.

[Vadim Zhivov]

It won't explode by itself ... I worked with her in my career ... It's not so simple there ... I won't write in more detail, otherwise they will be mistaken for a terrorist ...

[abrakadabre]

It depends on how to store and how to work with it.

[Vadim Zhivov]

You are telling a person who has had EKB for more than 15 years ... How cv guano ...

[Graz]

again Jews play with matches in a warehouse with neighbors

[KAVBER]

I think sabotage, and chemicals or weapons exploded, it is not so important who knew where the wick was and someone was able to set it on fire, there remains one question why, and time will tell.

[Moskovit]

As a result of a powerful explosion that thundered on Tuesday in the port of Beirut, Nazar Najaryan, leader of the Lebanese Phalangist Kataeb party, was killed. It is reported by CNN with reference to the state news agency NNA. The politician was in his office when the explosion occurred and was seriously injured, incompatible with life.
The Lebanese Falangist Kataib Party is a right-wing nationalist political force opposing the regime of Bashar al-Assad. Najarian was also an opponent of Hezbollah.

[Alber alber]

Disproved already

[AllBiBek]

Meanwhile, there is information that the ship, the fire and explosion on which provoked the explosion of the ammunition depot, arrived the day before from Mariupol ...

[Alber alber]

News such that in 15g. Moldovan dry cargo ships brought to Lebanon several thousand tons of explosives from the ruins, presumably ten, everything was stored in the port, consider the center of Beirut, they quietly traded towards Syria, it is known how bearded, and now everything has exploded. It is not the first time that the ruin has been caught in the illegal arms trade, but there has never been such a nightmare, apparently the owners are in business.

[Vadim237]

Here are the remaining several hundred tons and they shot together the ammunition that was in this port hangar.

[Oquzyurd]

The explosion of 2700 tons of ammonium nitrate in the port of Lebanese Beirut occurred at the time of welding. This was announced on Tuesday by the Lebanese TV channel LBC International, TASS reports.

[Alber alber]

Regarding the ruins, Tass also said, but only later than saltpeter, well, there will not be such a mushroom and a simultaneous explosion with saltpeter, here it is the simultaneous detonation of tetranitropentaerythritol, well, either ten + TNT, that is, TNT

[Vadim Zhivov]

Do not write nonsense ... Saltpeter just does not explode ...

[Oquzyurd]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rSocnAABNM

[Alber alber]

Saltpeter, although it is part of black powder, is not close in terms of heat capacity and power, plus it needs a detonator, and better, a simultaneous rise in temperature over the entire area and preferably increased humidity for the reaction

[Oquzyurd]

Apparently you have not seen the new videos. First, a large fire with white-gray smoke, then a huge explosion.

[Alber alber]

A simultaneous rise in temperature, then saltpeter could also, but the view is such in the port that they blew up something more serious, there is no living place, the shock wave flew to Nicosia, Damascus and Turkey

[A. Privalov]

Quote: Alber Alber

the wave flew to Nicosia, Damascus and Turkey

This is not a blast wave, but seismologists have registered earthquakes in these countries.

[Alber alber]

No, Tass reported an explosive wave, and a yellowish cloud flew to the Domask from Beirut, a photo is also available

[Oquzyurd]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rSocnAABNM

[Simargl]

Quote: Alber Alber

and preferably high humidity for the reaction

According to the condensation cloud - almost 100%

[anjey]

Yeah, Welded Katz allowed an excessive sparkle and did not comply with safety standards.

[Quadro]

Do not write nonsense about the fact that saltpeter does not explode like that. Above we have already written examples of how the detonation of this magic substance wiped out the city from the face of the earth. But then there is already all sorts of inventions with sabotage and vacuum bombs.

[Alber alber]

It explodes, additional conditions are needed, temperature, humidity, etc., this is not powder in bulk, one spark will not tear the port apart

[sanya]

What can such a strange color of smoke after an explosion indicate?

[Alber alber]

Need a chemist or a spectrograph, something else was in stock

[alex967]

After the explosion of saltpeter, orange smoke remains.

[Igorpl]

2750 tons of saltpeter confiscated six years ago from a Moldovan ship with a Ukrainian crew. Maybe sloppiness?

[impostor]

The vessel from which the saltpeter was seized belongs to a Khabarovsk businessman. News feeds wrote about this. So there is every reason to stab Furgal for a terrorist attack

[Denimax]

Judging by the video, it looks like pyrotechnics were on fire. Then a pillar explosion like from an underground storage.

[Mavrikiy]

Video by Sheetal Pratap Singh
@SheetalPratapS clearly visible sequence: A sultan of white smoke a hundred meters high, while the burning was going on, everyone turned on their sotikas and began shooting. Then there was a red flash, and then there was a volumetric explosion. But ... distance and foreshortening ...... at Marabin Oli it is clearly visible that at the base of the white cap of smoke there is a center of red burning and a mass of "magnesium" flares-stars before a large red flash.
Thus: Combustion took place in a warehouse where several types of explosives were stored, possibly a pressurized gas tank (although, such does not exist). An explosion of this magnitude requires a huge amount of explosives. But the simultaneous explosion of 10 OV ammunition is doubtful, I think the picture would be different.
Perhaps sabotage, possibly a violation of the rules for storing explosives, and maybe a violation of the technology for working with explosives.

[A. Privalov]

On the night of August 5, the Lebanese Ministry of Health published updated data on the victims of a powerful explosion in Beirut. Officially, 78 dead and more than 4000 injured are reported. But this information is not final.

[potap6509]

Now, according to the news, 2700 tons of smuggled, confiscated ammonium nitrate stored since 2014 were exploded, about 80 killed, about 4 thousand injured.

[Operator]

The Israelis blew up saltpeter in a port warehouse.

You cannot avoid responsibility for the terrorist attack even with the help of our Dzhigarkhanyan

Why are you acting like this...Exactly in this area, are you sure?

[Crimean partisan 1974]

I read the comments....quite interesting versions.....but the explosion looks like a leak of a particularly huge amount of gas....short and then boom.....something went wrong in the terminal....as I understand it that one should express concern, but there is nothing you can do to help the dead

[chingachguc]

2,7 thousand tons of ammonium nitrate. Fertilizers. How much will this be in trityl equivalent? I think no less than that kiloton

[geologist]

I’m surprised that there are no specialists in this country - military, miners, geologists who are related to this by line of work.
