the windows didnt even shatter in 2015 video. How can it be possible.
Meanwhile the windows were shattered 15 miles out in Beirut. I call it BS

Another port went up today. a fire triggered a bunch of ammonium nitrate which has been stored in the port since 2014. 100's dead 4000 injured. so much footage online due to the initial fire.

enjoy :cry:

This is sad due to it being a critical blood line for their nation. Their borders aren't doing so well for them at all.

I heard 3.3 but 4.5 would make more sense. According to Cyprus Mail, the echo of the blast reached the Cyprus capital of Nicosia, which is 241 km away from Beirut

Apartment blocks 2 km (1.2 mi) from the site sustained shattered glass, loss of roof tiles and damage to ceilings – with 17,000 units being affected. I believe its due to the 7800 shipping containers that initially took the tremendous blasts. might I also add the 2015 explosion was two explosions. The first of which super heating the air around the blast zone so when the second and larger explosion happened, the air would have already been vaporized of any oxygen and water particles making any shock wave smaller

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 thats interesting, the less volume created a bigger shockwave.


The estimates were 3000 tons, not 50. Richter scale isn't how payload equivilants are calculated

I already stated above, my first source said 3.3 on the Richter scale which is what I calculated it for. The value is actually 4.5 making it 5,100 tons
