how much larger? Shouldn't there be more fire and flames if it was that much LARGER?
It was all just a big shockwave and a mushroom cloud.
I'm not here to argue lol but w/e floats your boat my man. You make yourself look dumb.


just because an explosion is larger doesn't mean it magically lights things on fire
different types of explosions have different effects
nuclear explosions for example light things on fire with an enormous burst of thermal radiation and an electromagnetic pulse, then release an overpressure wave, then a fall of radioactive particles
chemical explosions like ammonium nitrate don't release thermal radiation so they don't set things on fire, and indeed the air pressure tends to snuff out fires
fires that result after explosions like this are from damaged infrastructure- loose wiring, gas leaks, etc.

Look at the OKC bombing. Blew apart half the building. It didn't all burn down or get set in flames, it just got blasted to smithereens.

A normal ammonium nitrate doesn't explode like that. Let's compare the Tianjing 2015 to Beirut 2020.
0 shockwave in Tianjing video at a relatively close distance.
HUGE shockwave in Beirut explosion.
It was definitely some type of bomb.


The 2015 Tianjin explosions were 336 tons TNT equivalent and the one today was a 3.3 on the Richter scale which would be about 50 Tons of TNT equivalent. So the smaller explosion had bigger shockwave....hmmm

I was personally there and I am on a first name basis with Lieutenant-Colonel Dahir Saliba who is in charge of monitoring Lebanese airspace. Please stop posting baseless accusations, it's disrespectful the dead. This was an unfortunate accident due to some dirty Jews not paying fees years ago. May Allah have mercy on their souls.

Just watched this video. The explosion is from multiple angles.

I'm just now appreciating how truly massive the explosion was. Like, god damn that's huge. The cranes look like nothing next to the size of it.

im comparing the 2 explosions and how they are completely different. Yet both came from the same chemical ammonium nitrate. Both should've created shockwaves that shattered windows but only Beirut did.

Calling people dumb and telling them to get their facts straight when you have provided zero facts. Ooof. Are you going to call me a multi too?

I can see the difference. I would expect differences when its 300 versus 3000 tons.


Tianjin is 300+800(2nd explosion)
3 x as big doesn't cancel out shockwaves completely.
The couple were at a closer distance than all of your Beirut videos too.

Why would both create shockwaves and shatter windows? One was TEN TIMES LARGER!

It's not 3x as big. It's 10x as big. It's not surprising that an explosion one tenth the size would look different, and wouldn't cause as much damage.

CiroClown another fenderp multi?

You should have a look at the damage in Tianjin and determine if any windows were broken
