A massive explosion detonated in Beirut on August 6th, 2020. The ‘net swarmed with cell phone video of the blast, which looked inordinately atomic in nature, yet supposedly was the result of an accidental fire detonating a stored supply of 2800 tons of ammonium nitrate, the same stuff they use for both fertilizer and bombs. The initial towering plumes of smoke from the fire were menacing enough, but the ensuing detonation looked positively nuclear, complete with ground zero zone destruction and an ominously orange mushroom cloud. 140 people dead, over 5,000 injured, and because of the ensuing carnage, better than 300,000 people became homeless.
