Explorers:
Image have surfaced on social media that shows the final moments of a fire crew sent to tackle a blaze at warehouses in Beirut's port, shortly before chemicals stored inside exploded with the force of a nuke.


The ten firefighters who were first on the scene. All of them are missing, with one, Sahar Fares, top centre, confirmed dead.

They are all missing because their bodies were completely fragmented by the blast. This is just horrible. Ikeja cantonment blast cannot be compared to this.

So sad.

If you see the video from different angles, just like in a movie.

The shock was throwing bricks and cars like paper.

An image of the warehouse taken some time before the blast shows ammonium nitrate stored in large quantity.
Jesu!! ...an insider gave the info to the terrorists that Ammonium nitrate ,a fantastic fuel for high grade nukes, was available in large quantity in the warehouse.....3 of such bombings and the whole city of Beirut would be totally annihilated into smithereens.

God have mercy.

Welcome back Explorers, you no longer have time like before. Time is everything. You've played your part making NL FP worth visiting and your position in the NL Hall of Fame is no shaking.
Your loyal students, Macsjebs and the rest are doing well.





They were lucky to find one dead. Others would have been shattered into pebbles and dust.
It takes more than bravery to make a move to put out fire, in an Ammonium Nitrate warehouse. It is safer to go into the dem of hungry lions than venture into a burning warehouse where NH₄NO₃ is stored.

Having witnessed blasts from this explosive many times, it only takes few kg to send resounding quakes over kilometers.

R.I.P to them. In a jiffy, their hearts would have exploded in fear before their bodies got shattered. They exploded at point-blank. The sound of the blast alone is enough to shatter the body in pieces.
They didn't suffer before transition, God rest their souls

There's a possibility that Hamas are also storing weapons shipments from Iran in that warehouse or building close-by. I'm sure you know what Netanyahu is capable of. If the above assumption is not true, then consider electrical wirings, terrorism and sabotage by disgruntled port officials.

One thing I particularly learned from the mishap was the stability of their structures.

There were some high-rise buildings close to the blast, yet they stood firm.
It only takes one rainfall to wash off a story building here

Shut up.
Why don't you compare their high rise building to our own high rise building?

There is something curious about it all, definitely not an accidental fire.

One thing I keep thanking God for was that it happened on a Sunday, if not the number of children that would have died would've been 50k
