    People use the term "massive" all too often, but that was way bigger than I was expecting. Wow.

    I don't know anything about explosives but that was very controlled and efficient for a bunch of fireworks going off at the same time.

    That shockwave was incredible! Yea..there have been fireworks warehouses that have gone off before. None of them resulted in this kind of destruction.

    98% Sarcastic. 100% Overthinking things and making up reasons for buying a new firearm.

    I may have posted the wrong link. They also had a huge fireworks explosion in 2015 and another one just a few weeks ago. Turkey had one too in July. I have a feeling that OSHA standards aren't as high at some of these locations...

    The video from Lebanon from offshore shows a deep dark red smoke. I wonder what chemical caused that.
