Upon posting, the Danish media I read from, had 78+ on their headline. Sorry for not being up to date, to you and the poster who apparently facepalmed me. I shall stop posting. Went back to check the article, and they still have it at 78 deaths as of this edit. Again, sorry that the sources I read (our equivalent of BBC) is not up to date. https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/udland/doedstallet-stiger-i-beirut-vi-er-vidne-til-en-kaempe-katastrofe Edited August 5, 2020 by Genfærd added pic+link 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One shot Paddy 1,206 Posted August 5, 2020 2 hours ago, Toast said: Far too early to know the death toll. The number of known deaths is going to be changing all the time at this stage. The exact death toll will never be known, they will get a good idea by number of missing persons for anyone who was beside it, and for those further away they will add up the body parts. The only saving grace is that the warehouse was in the docks area and not closer to housing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banana 859 Posted August 5, 2020 4 hours ago, Dying Probably said: Probably a coincidence. Possibly 100,000 dead, with such a high population in Beirut and the blast being felt in Cyprus. That’s just images of the blast site you can literally see the rest of Beirut in the background of the second picture. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arsewipe 202 Posted August 5, 2020 I'd imagine it'll be a few thousand dead, not that I give a fuck. No doubt some will pretend to be devastated whilst really not giving a fuck as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However every cloud has a silver lining, it'll be a good time to be a double glazing salesman over there for the forseeable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted August 5, 2020 You might be surprised to know that I am not a nuclear expert, so if anyone here is could you tell me does a nuclear blast always lead to radioactive fallout or can it happen without it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A nuclear blast always leads to nuclear fallout unless you manage to fission every singe last atom of radioactive material in the bomb. We arent close to being capable of creating explosions powerful enough to create significant gammay ray radiation without the use of nuclear materials.
