geusst1235 5,398 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Yeah here is a video which shows fireworks going off inside the building. Some people are also speculating that the second explosion was caused by the fireworks igniting some kind of fertilizer or chemical that was stored as well. I hope that whoever recorded this is okay. @LVbuttondown @QueenOfSaigon @alsemanche Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a nitrate substance (either sodium or ammonium, not sure). People are already feeling some symptoms of intoxication like eye burns and whatnot. There's also a chemical cloud over beirut Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarstruckIllusion 53,564 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 It looks like a huge shipment of Fireworks went off, and some of them maybe exploded a tank of gas?? No fireworks on their own could do that much damage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G U C C I 5,578 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 @WholesomeOOf thanks for sharing that I hadn't seen that one. So it started as just a normal fire in a factory with fireworks and then the chemicals in the building exploded. Hopefully this was all just a horrific accident and not an intentional act of terrorism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadariousGarage 1 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 So there is a call for a evacuation of Beirut (I heard that this was said by some government officials in Lebanon and a major hospital in Beirut) due to toxic gasses caused by the explosion. Now i'm not from the area, so this might not be reliable, but if you are in Beirut please stay safe. Lets do it baby I know the Law Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes there are toxic chemical in the air and health professionals are calling for people to remain indoors and wear masks as well.

InsomniaMonster69 3,756 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I'm still shocked. I have no words... How many GGD members from Beirut do we have? And does someone know if they and their families and friends are okay? Is there anything we can do for the victims? Something to donate...or...?
