LEBANON EXPLOSION 08-04-2020 (what really happened?)
August 4, 2020… A Massive Explosion Occurred in Beirut, Lebanon
Donald Trump was the only world leader who said it looked like an attack “a bomb of some kind”… while the rest of the world said it was from a fire that exploded explosive materials.
• 218 were confirmed dead from the explosion, with over 7,000 injured. 300,000 people left homeless.
• The blast was so powerful it was felt in Turkey, Syria, Palestine, Jordan, and Israel, as well as parts of Europe, and was heard in Cyprus, more than 150 miles away.
—— considered one of the most powerful non-nuclear explosions on record.
• Reportedly, a cargo of 2,750 tonnes of the ammonium nitrate (equivalent to around 1.1 kilotons of TNT) had been stored in a warehouse without proper safety measures for the previous six years after having been confiscated by Lebanese authorities from an abandoned ship named MV Rhosus, in 2004.
• MV Rhomus was abandoned because of “mechanical issues” or the owner of the vessel didn’t have the funds for Suez Canal tolls and tried to load heavy equipment on the ship, but damaged it so badly, it became unseaworthy. It’s still not clear which happened…
• Lebonese Customs Officials pleaded and had sent letters to judges requesting a resolution to the issue of the confiscated cargo, proposing that the ammonium nitrate be either exported, given to the Lebanese Armed Forces or sold to the private Lebanese Explosives Company.
—— it stayed at the port until it exploded.
• The Lebanese government declared a two-week state of emergency in response to the disaster.
• Protests erupted across Lebanon against the government for their failure to prevent the disaster.On 10 August 2020, Prime MinisterHassan Diab and the Lebanese cabinet resigned.
• Inverted Videos at the 3:36 mark also circulated showing an object entering the sky right before the explosion.
• Rumors swirled about DUMBS, and this site was potentially keeping missiles/weapons.
