Am I the only one that doesn't know what this means?

Had a good cycle over the common then Richmond park, not many people about. Easy to avoid clusters of families. Roe n Red deer browsing close. Very pleasant - then 20 odd 20somethings all drinking under one tree. Pointless even saying anything  ( hope they pick up a few ticks though ? ) k

That explosion in Beirut, insane!

Storage of chemicals apparently.

 

 

It’s like something from Game of Thrones.

apparently a shipfull of highly explosive chemicals they confiscated last year and stored next to a fireworks factory.

Was astonishing footage. Def high explosive judging by the pressure wave, no way that was just fireworks powder. Casualties must be horrific  ?  K

Nope! Simply a typical blast from Ammonium nitrate, if you look at archive footage from "the troubles".

And indeed other such blasts in the recent past.

I was looking at clips of  B52 bombs hitting Vietnam and the pressure wave is quite clear in them. That's wot does the damage followed by the shrapnel n flying debris. However my thoughts are with those poor people and ain't they suffered enuff ? K

Not sure if I inadvertently fell into a 24/48hr coma and totally missed the widespread media coverage, political reportage and chattering surrounding the release of the latest cop body cam footage of that heinous career criminal losing his life after making all best efforts to avoid complying with the lawful instructions of a law enforcement officer carrying out his duty?

 

Gonna get lively when the cops are acquitted.....
