At first I thought it was probably an Israeli retaliatory attack for rocket attacks.

Supposedly it was almost 3 tonnes of ammonium nitrate that's been stored improperly for a number of years. Pretty crazy. I'm guessing there won't be a storage rebuild on that location.

God Bless everyone involved, could be mishandling, could be a terrorist attack.

On the video you posted it’s interesting because you can see a bunch of tiny flashes going off randomly before the final big explosion.

I think if it was a terrorist attack they would have said by now. Right now they’re saying the big explosion was caused by 2,700+ tons of ammonium nitrate. What the tiny flashes were, we don’t know yet, but some are saying it was improperly stored fireworks.

At the 15 second mark, I'm pretty sure the guy filming it died. I've never seen anything like it. However this 2015 China explosion in post 9 looks to be impressive.

I assume the death toll will rise as they clean up the debris, but it's amazing that only 70 are known to be dead so far. Let's hope the number stays low.

There was a similar video from the China explosion. Some guy was live streaming it and was walking through what looked like a yard full of shipping containers. The explosion happens and you can see the shock wave basically crumple the shipping containers right in front of him before the live stream cuts out.

Terrifying as all hell.

I believe it. That China explosion was ridiculous. It's amazing how it looks like they are far enough away, but not really. It reminds me of the people that died thinking they were far enough away from Mount St. Helens before it erupted.

Channeled like mentally? I take it she was found alive then? Were you able to help rescue crews in rescuing her?

No I was not. Its a gift I don't like. I knew two days before and she stayed with me until 2:15 this evening EST when she was found. I can rest now. I don't know her condition, just she made it. I feel calm now. I was very surprised when I saw this thread. I don't choose they do.

I am very curious. When you say "channeling" are you feeling what they are? No judgment here, I'm just interested.

I get what they want me to. I have no control. It doesn't happen often at least not with me and at this point i'm thankful because i don't no how to turn it off.

I recently saw a vid exposed in negative... and the missle coming down is plain as day. This was an attack. And...a very precise attack to boot.

It doesn't look like an attack to me. Missiles don't have secondary explosions, nor do they have periods in which it looks like fireworks going off before the second, and largest explosion.

What you saw was probably CGI, or some type of faked video... and if it's this same explosion, then it must be a different view, because this video doesn't show the initial explosion.
