Jesus! ☹

Awful pictures. 2500 tonnes of Ammonium Nitrate stored at the port for over 6 years. Was never going to end well.

Trump already saying it was a 'terrible attack'

I wonder if he has any credible info for that or if he's just gone off on a hunch again

Any credible info he's quoting is internal intelligence. There's photos showing the storage of the chemicals so I don't think it can be doubted what caused such a horrific outcome. As to what triggered the fire/ignition?

Holy shit. 1st time I’ve seen that one. Wow

Holy sh*t. 1st time I’ve seen that one. Wow

There was another filmed on a boat as well. As the force from the blast travels across the water and hits the boat the video cuts out. Seriously like stuff from a movie that they usually do with CGI. Very scary.

Read the manuals, or the books.

You can't do that.

Those charts were epic.

Far out. That explosion in Beirut was hooooge

 

[kane249]

Far out. That explosion in Beirut was hooooge

Was just reading something about it, for context:

The Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 that killed 168 people used 2 tonnes of ammonium nitrate
The explosion in Beirut had approximately 2750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate


Looks like it was a fire accidentally started by maintenance welders on the dock, no terrible attack involved Mr Trump

 

[Mr Eagle]

Silos holding 85% of the country's grain were destroyed. The explosion won't be the worst part at this rate.

Cricket Australia are considering alternative venues for the Boxing Day Test. Supposedly SA are campaigning pretty hard to get that Test, with WA to pick up an Indian Test and Tas to take our Afghanistan Test.

Meanwhile the Scorchers women's team have landed Sophie Devine

This concludes all relevant cricket news I wanted to share.

Ireland beat England two nights ago and Pakistan are doing well on Day 1 of their test against the Poms too

England had a one-dayer 2 days before a Test?

If CA is concerned about revenue, they can sell an extra 7,000 odd tickets each day at Optus compared with Adelaide, and with the number of Indian expats in Perth it’s virtually guaranteed to be a sell out.

 

[Spoon_Man]

CA aren't sponsored by Telstra are they?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

CA aren't sponsored by Telstra are they?

Possibly. There’s some deal about Optus not being called Optus for international cricket.

England had a one-dayer 2 days before a Test?

No. One day.

Different squads in different hubs.

More than that with Adelaide moving back to 10k soon.

Australia v India @ Shandong Gold Stadium has a better ring to it imo

 

[DanWCE]

Do SA host the day night Test? That would be a decent way to get crowds in Perth if we get stuck with some shitty dates. Balmy Perth Summer evenings at the cricket
