I'm betting Israel sent a real strong message with a nuke.

And many explosions like this are frequently thought to be an attack. Buildings don't generally explode like this for no reason. But not everything is an attack.

Beirut harbor before and after.
Claiming this is a nuke, is ridicules.
Terrible accident.

Well since it was the dock's an accidental explosion of that same material OR a ship bomb.
One way to prove the point either way, get a Geiger counter to ground zero, if it was a radioactive device there would be considerable residual activity and the counter would tick nicely above background level's.
So no not a nuke, two reason's really, using a nuke would be obscenely expensive for even a western power, it would set off all manner of detectors around the world designed to identify nuclear detonations such as those that pick up underground NK detonations etc and terrorists would not want to waste money in that way unless they had it for a prime target such as one of our capital city's, they would also want to use it as a bargaining chip and hide it away somewhere.

No one has a 1.5kiloton bunker buster.

Why are those people that insist it's a bomb ignoring the massive fire burning prior to the explosion?
Are they that desperate for drama in our world that an obvious(to most) accident wouldn't/couldn't happen?(and we all know terrorist nukes are much more doom-worthy!, (especially ones from Israel)).
Anyway, its heartwarming to witness the innate goodness in people from all corners coming together to assist Lebanon at this time, its interesting how tragedy will generally bring out the best in us!

This is ATS after all. Of course it has many members that think everything is a conspiracy.
