Their channel appeared to be solid. Was a nice presentation actually. I have also seen videos of a missle hitting it. Haven't confirmed if those are fake. Jury is still out for me.

let this fact sink it. lebanon has basically been at war for years, if they had proof of a missile hitting it they would have said it right away, the fact that they dont blame israel should have also been proof to you. even hamas says it was an accident and they would be the first to point fingers are israel.

dude watch "loose change" a discredited video about 911.  it seems very convincing.  all channels on youtube appear solid except for 1 fact no evidence, they exist only to make money for those who created it. I could make a video arguing that trumps middle toe is longer than his big toe and ask for money to help support me.  but I have morals.  all conspiracy theory channels are only there for 1 thing, to make money for those who created them.   either thru direct contributions or ads.  there's even a chanel that makes lots of money by arguing that water has chemicals in it that makes rainbow appear when using a water hose and get the right amount of sunlight.  they claim it started in the 80's and 90's.  I made rainbows with a water hose when I was a kid in the 70's.

had a friend that used to say collodial silver kills corona virus. she would make lots of money selling it.  guess what, she died of corona virus.

Physics challenged people are forgetting that the explosion of the Ammonium nitrate likely blew the grain in the silos adjacent into a perfectly combustible cloud of powder.     

That was a huge multiplier of strength.

Looks like it sparked a bout of civil unrest there with leaders running for the hills and nonpeaceful protests/ riots in the streets

Lebanon was already in a pile of trouble, this is the final nail in the straw that broke the camels back.

There is a lot of grain in front of the silos.

Certainly not near the amount that was in them at the time.   It was Lebanon's national reserve of grain.

Why now?

How long has it been sitting there?

Who knew about it and knew what would happened if it exploded?

That is one sturdy structure.  I am amazed it wasn't completely flattened.
