Hard to see much of anything in the photo from all that cellulose ash flying around.

Anyone could have struck them. Even an internal group. Or it could have been an accident of some sort.
Anyone who did not want to take the blame knows it will be blamed on Israel if they say nothing. |

A bunch of weapons intended for some terrorist organization exploded? How terrible.

I hope that stupid fucking big ass dhow of thiers that they used to sail around the NAG was part of it.

I have my fingers crossed for a clean up strike.
Mystery explosions amongst the enemy are the best kind of explosions. |

The irony is there are several parties that could of done this.
Start messing with folks money (shipping), you going to get clapped. This was a direct message. Why I don’t think it was Israel. |

Anyone who did not want to take the blame knows it will be blamed on Israel if they say nothing. View Quote If it were an internal group (or ISIS, which claimed the recent attack at the memorial), they'll claim it. Heck, they (or ISIS) might well claim it even if it ISN'T them. Organizations like that don't fear "blame" - they seek it. |

Quoted: Someone splain to me how AN explision, meaning ONE explosion took out 16-17 ships? View Quote The explosion in this case was likely the entire contents of a ship loaded with a very large amount of explosives. This could amount to hundreds of tons of explosives, depending on the ship. See this description of several ammunition ship explosions during WW2 which resulted in damage or destruction of numerous other ships. Mike |

Let me know when the parliament building and the ayatollah's house have a mysterious explosion. Until then it's just beating around the bush, and playing games. Nobody gives a fuck about their boats. Attack shit that matters. At this rate we'll be bombing shitty boats for the next 100 years.

Quoted: Someone splain to me how AN explision, meaning ONE explosion took out 16-17 ships? View Quote If it’s a mothership like Saviz it likely has a cargo of small craft on board destined for Yemen. Not the first time that ship has been used to ferry War supplies to the Houthis. Saviz supposedly has max displacement of 24k tons, can tie the boats to the deck and lift them off with her cranes. You could fit about that many max on the deck safely. |

It’s a complex problem we are facing and have inept leadership that got is this far. |
