    OT: Beirut Explosion

    Maybe I can be of assistance - and you can dig and find supporting evidence backing this up. 12 Tribes of Israel - of 12 sons born to the same father, but four different women. They broke up as a nation - ten in the north, two in the south that included Judah. 10 tribes to the north were...

    OT: Beirut Explosion

    I never assigned blame. I merely pointed out that there were three separate explosions, of three separate explosives, so close it almost looks like one event. Could've been Hojat warming up his goat cheese - could have been some ***** playing with a grenade - or could have been a target. All...

    OT: Beirut Explosion

    An oxidizer is just another term for an explosive. Different explosives burn at different rates, and give off different gasses of different colors. The official word is that it was ammonium nitrate. If so, then the explosion should have one primary colored smoke. Not three. Not with a huge...

    OT: Beirut Explosion

    The same oxidizer makes one color smoke. The same oxidizer doesn't make three, separate huge columns of smoke if one is red, one is white, and the third is tan. 1 does not equal 3. There's your equation.

    Basic physics isn't too soon, or too late. Basic physics is always now.

    OT: Beirut Explosion

    Explosives have signatures. This did not have the signature of a single source oxidant. It's simple physics. Not death stars, horsemen, or James Bond stuff. Physics. One thing cannot suddenly become three separate things.

    OT: Beirut Explosion

    I probably had the benefit of multiple views of the explosion going off from multiple angles that the other "experts" didn't have. Three separate explosions. Three separate high, voluminous columns of smoke after the flash. Three vastly different, separate colors. And most important -...

    OT: Beirut Explosion

    In the demolition/explosives bidness - we have Relative Effectiveness Factors to use in determining the speed of an explosive - and it's effectiveness relative to a standard. TNT was determined to be the standard explosive with a REF of 1.00, and a burn speed of 6900 meters per second...

    OT: Beirut Explosion

    There were three separate, rapid cascading explosions - and one can see (not the white air moisture vapor spread by the shockwave) a white smoke plume, a red smoke plume, and a tan smoke plume. Oxidizers, High Explosives, and slower burning black powder/nitrates. Someone blew up a munitions...

    OT: Beirut Explosion

    I've blown thousands of pounds of nitrates, used lots of C-4, and other military explosives. That was NOT black powder as in fireworks - and it wasn't a nitrate. That big fireball looked like a propellant, and the huge explosion that was a very rapid explosion looked like it had a relative...

    OT: Beirut Explosion

    I don't mean to cast shade on muzzies - but they don't mix well with high explosives. The ones most interested in working with explosives are also chain smokers.

    Next to what appeared to be a hotel. Like I'd stay in one of those . . . That's like frequenting a Chinese Restaurant built next to a dog pound.
