    The explosion blast is shocking - I've seen videos of it, the blast just spreads out throughout the whole area. Shocking.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    This is being reported as being caused by some nitrate that was seized from a ship a year(s) ago, and that was stored at the port in a warehouse. Don't know what caused the initial fires, but the reddish cloud after the massive explosion would support it being some sort of nitrate.

    Im not sure if this picture is 100% legit, but if it is then this tragedy makes sense. The condition that those containers were stored in would make it super easy for a fire to light them up.

    Oh God that's a bigger explosion that Donald caused in the Middle East... he'll want to do another one that is bigly to be the winner.
