So, average that to 3636 cu/ft

That building where the explosion appears to be about 400' x 100' = 40,000sq/ft Its height, maybe 20' or 30'...it is not very tall, so lets say 25'. That makes the building capable of holding 1,000,000 cu/ft of whatever.

If 90 trailers x 3636 = 327,000 cu/ft

1/3 or possibly up to 1/2 of that building was storing that explosive material.

You cannot hide that much material, and for 6+ years.....people talk.

I do not feel this was an accident at this point. Plus, all of the minor "explosions" you could see/hear in the videos before the final detonation, makes me think there were small munitions being stored as well.

This was intentional.

There is no place for a slide rule in polite society Mr. Six.

If this is true....it is also leading evidence on who might be responsible.

My .02 is Iran.

They did this so that they can sell grain in order to gain cash for their regime, create more conflict between Lebanon and Israel by planting false narrative that it was Israel that caused this, and get a closer foothold in the area next to Israel in order leverage the loosening of sanctions against their country by the U.S.

C'mon man. The Khomeini type radicals would never do something like that.

Scientists are estimating 3 kiloton yield. About 1/5th the yield of Little Boy that leveled Hiroshima.

I've worked with several engineers that grew up in Lebanon. They all said the same thing: "Nicest part of Lebanon was when my plane to America took off."

They had a 15 year civil war. As of January 2019, Lebanon had the highest emigration rate out of 225 countries surveyed of 40.3 people per 1000. i haven't heard of many people going to start a new life in...Beirut.

So you tell me who is right.
