Holy shit! That was HUGE. I can see why it was felt throughout the whole city.

Explosions that are half that size are fucking scary.

Says dozens injured. Fuck.

Apparently you could hear and feel it in Cyprus which is like a 140 miles away.

I heard thousands are injured, the hospitals are all at capacity

Looked a lot like the PEPCON explosion. They manufactured fuel for the Space Shuttle solid rocket boosters.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPVpzjxRjPk

Luckily the PEPCON facility was in the middle of the desert. 2 deaths, 372 injured, and about $100 million in damage ($190 million in today's dollars).

Apparently the warehouse contained ammonium nitrate that was improperly stored.

Yeah I've already seen a fake report that it was a missile launch from Israel that had been liked and retweeted by thousands. The internet was a mistake.

The right is full of shit.

What's that even supposed to mean? You can't really "partially detonate" a nuke. Once the chain reaction starts, that's pretty much it.

I mean, it's the right, they're not concerned with being accurate or truthful, they're concerned with sounding scary so you will do what they want.

I think it was Hannity or some blog or something related to Hannity. I actively avoid that crap like the plague.

Trump just called it an "attack", that it "looked like a bomb". Is he trying to pull us into a war with someone? =/

This same thing happened to the chemical plant my dad used to work at. It was so sketchy. He saw the inspector come in, then the boss came in with a brief case, handed it to the inspector, and the inspector left without doing his job. A year or so later the company sold the plant, and then a few months later it exploded from some chemical build up that wasn't cleaned out of one of the tanks. Fortunately no one was hurt because whoever they sold it to hadn't started using it yet but people felt it for miles supposedly.

Hes definitely trying to get us to talk about ANYTHING else rather than the economy or the bungling of the Coronavirus.

He accidentally misspelled Florida in one of his tweets. Thankfully after 3.5 years the Media has gotten better at not chasing down the endless squirrels he releases for them to chase.

The reports I've read say that 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate (fertilizer) was seized by customs several years ago and stored in a warehouse next to the firework warehouse and it seems not many people knew that it was there and no safety procedures were really taken with it. Fire starts in fireworks wearhouse, spreads next door, boom.

2750 TONNES. JESUS CHRIST

They're reporting over 100 dead and upwards of 4000 injured. Just awful

Thought I heard over 200 dead on NPR but I'm not sure

I feel like it must be difficult to get a proper estimate this soon, though admittedly that's just gut and I've got no fucking clue what I'm talking about.

But I wont be surprised if those numbers change dramatically.
