Did Beirut just get nuked?

[Lune]

Interesting reading about other, similar explosions for those who fall down wikiholes:

Halifax Explosion: French ship carrying high explosives collides with another ship outside Halifax, Nova Scotia, and explodes, killing 2,000, injuring 9,000, and wiping out part of the city. The explosion also caused a tsunami that wiped out a nearby First Nation settlement.

Port Chicago Disaster: Not far outside San Francisco, 1944, US Navy taskmasters supervise mostly black, untrained enlistedmen in loading munitions into ships to go blow up Japanese and Germans. Units have speed-loading competitions and bets with each other, literally resulting in loading crews chucking live munitions into hatches. Eventually somebody drops something too hard and everything explodes, killing 320 and wounding 390. Pieces of the ship's anchor were flung 12,000 feet into the air, landing high on the slopes of nearby Mt. Diablo.

Fertilizer, chemicals and anything dangerous requires a hazmat registration or its seized at the port

it was a few containers full of 50.0.0 and a welder probably was melting a lock

a few years it turns to liquid and its basically plastic explosives

It was the CIA, you heard it here first. Bill did the same thing to take attention away from Monica.

I'm happy for them. They got really fucked over in the 90s when all of a sudden the worlds biggest guns decided to choose sides in a conflict no one understood.

Serbia is currently under a level 3 travel warning due to: crime

The anchor got blown from Port Chicago to Mt. Diablo that's crazy. Nice little bay area knowledge nugget thanks for sharing.
