Wow, Hiroshima was bombed on August 6th... nearly 75 years to the day.

Trump says it was a bomb.

Therefore count on it being accidental.

This is like the morbidly obese guy making fat jokes about the guy carrying a few extra pounds.

Not sure if this is rhetorical...Trump owns real estate in his head. LG always brings the muh Trump to a thread.

It's a Trump quote. It's LG. No further explanation required.

Seems like it, but wouldn't that warehouse be obliterated?

Nah that explosion just took out a couple of windows

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Also, that would make it a 2.75 kiloton explosion

Just one more bit of info that won't necessarily rule out a tactical nuke...

You have a screw loose

Dont think he has a screw loose.

Just think he sees something from a different angle and doesnt trust anything coming from any media outlet at all, ever.

He is also probably to well read for his own good which could apply to alot of us on here.....you included lol.

There would be all kinds of reports all over twitter of radiation burns and radiation sickness if that was a nuke.

I suppose it can't be ruled out. Still seems unlikely.

Bold statement, Hog. There was an initial explosion, which most anyone would agree could have been an accident, and a secondary explosion which could have been caused by the accidental first explosion. Wouldn't be the first time that incompetence created a catastrophe. Makes me think of the farm supply store which has their giant propane tank (for refilling) close to the fertilizer storage building.

But, people seemed to be obsessed about this for some reason. I guess it's the mystery of it all.

It's the video, this isn't a new phenomenon. It's an emotional reaction to an isolated incident. Seems there's a lot of that going on these days.

If that is the actual warehouse, maybe it was a pre explosion picture..

Well, the smoke in the windows one, could have been a similar warehouse that didn't have extensive damage, I suppose.

Good question...

I started doing chemistry when I was 13. A friend of mine and I were cooking up some rocket candy (KNO and sugar). We heated it above the flash point and it started burning almost that exact same red. When my buddy threw water on the fire, it caused an explosion big enough to nearly break the windows out of the house, and that was about a pound of material.

If that was a fireworks warehouse, someone on the zoning board needs to be reprimanded.

I laft

That still is from a video across the street while it was still just a fire. The detonation occurs a few seconds later.

I'm not really sure how this person is still alive.

I think we can all agree that pig did not deserve what you were doing to it.

I spoke with someone I work with who is Lebanese and still has family near Beirut. Apparently the AN was confiscated and warehoused 6 years ago. Did not ask from or by whom
