Beirut Explosion, Proof of Bomb?

a reply to: Salander

If they're the reversed image videos, then yes. If they're the regular images then no. You do understand that a conventional explosive creates a mushroom cloud too right? That's not limited to nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons, no matter how advanced, all have the same characteristics. We didn't see any of those characteristics, besides a mushroom cloud in Beirut. Six million pounds of ammonium nitrate went off. That is going to leave a lot of damage, and a mushroom cloud.

Again, none of the effects of a nuclear weapon, but you say it looks like one and a shady website said it was, so let's just ignore all the science behind nuclear weapons and believe that.

That was a nuclear explosion, a tactical weapon.

No, it was not.

Big explosion? Oh, yes. Several million pounds of ammonium nitrate, and Lord only knows what else, will make for a rather impressive explosion.

Where, other than a mushroom cloud--which conventional explosions will create as well, fyi--are the tell tales of a nuclear explosion?

Go ahead, I'll wait for you to make up your evidence--since I well know there are no other tell tales.
