"Saw a video last night where they said there's a "Labyrinth" of rooms and  passageways under the elevators."

Yep. Large grain elevators can have huge amounts of work space under ground.

And grain elevators have been known to go all 'splody on their own due to grain dust or gas from improperly dried grain.

QUITE energetic, actually.

Grain isn’t safe and should be stored in explosives magazines!

"A) About a million five at current prices."

That's barely enough to pay the bribe to the port master, let alone everyone else who dips their wick in it.

Which is why it was still there six years later.

Let's not even talk about how thoroughly and energetically flour mills can go boom...

My Grandmother told me once that the apartment building she lived in when she was a kid had garbage chutes right down into the incinerator.

One of the neighbors threw a flour sack down the chute and it caused an explosion that did quite a bit of damage to the building.

News reports of a massive explosion in the city of Baltimore.

Some incredible photos: https://www.foxnews.com/us/major-explosion-in-baltimore-adults-and-children-trapped-reports-say


So, the question is, what caused it?

1. Small tactical nuke delivered by Israle/Hamas/Taliban/Illuminati?

2. Poor storage of ammonium nitrate?

3. A fireworks factory?

4. Dust from a grain silo/flour mill/coal mine/lycopodium grow operation?

5. Meth factory?

6. Natural gas leak?

7. Space aliens?

I guess the real take away from the most recent boom is that Baltimore should be stored in an explosives magazine...  :rofl:

Dude, haven't you figured out by now that it's ALWAYS the Jooze?

Even if it's radical Islamic terrorist it's still, somehow, the fault of the Jooze.

And the Orange Man. Can't forget his culpability.

Well even if it WAS radical (sic) islamics,  clearly the JOOZE started it so they're off the hook.  Or they were provoked by evil drumfler.  So also clearly justified.  >:D

Jesus. In the slow motion you can see that black building on the right just starting to come apart. Looks to be glass and exterior cladding.

Unfortunately my Spanish is a little rusty and I wasn't able to read all of that; I'd have to sit down and really chew through it, but from what I could tell, nothing really new reported in that clip.

I saw footage of some high rises where it looked like just about everything but the steel frame itself was wiped out - the blast wave came in one side and went out the other, taking everything else with it.

And as for the "fireworks" fire before the big bang . . . I just have to wonder whether or not it was some of Hezbolla's munitions rather than simple celebratory fireworks.
