While examining the damage from one bomb in the Libyan city of Misrata, a crowd shouting “Allah akbar” is startled when purportedly another bomb appears out of nowhere and rocks the ground nearby:
The video, posted on YouTube and seen on Business Insider, doesn’t make clear whether those in the video are rebels, civilians, or Gadhafi sympathizers. It’s also unclear who dropped the bomb. What is clear is that Libya is a war zone.

Posted on March 22, 2011 at 3:09pmYa know, I often argue the 1950‘s and the 1980’s are the most prolific decades in history because both came after bad times an both saw unprecedented growth in wealth for the average American. Also, not lost in the debate is that the music of the 1950‘s and 1980’s each have no equal in terms of sound and style.
But, the deciding factor for me is the movies from the 1980′s – clearly the best movie decade we’ll ever see.

I am just saying some compassion for these people that are DYING would be great. I know that Al-Qaeda has probably infiltrated the rebels. I know that Qaddafi and the Rebels want to destroy each other. But when there are innocents being killed by a mad man, that if i remember right is a dictator, is in or was in total control of the military and probably by gun point makes civilians love him, we need to intervene. Those civilians that are welcoming home the terrorist from the Pan-Am flight were probably put up to that by gun point ever think of that guys>? Let us just say that I am not a Muslim, not a American kissing up to the Muslims either. I believe unlike Egypt which was probably started by the Muslim Brotherhood to initiate a Sha-Ria Law based Govt. there, Libyans are in my view seeking true democracy since they have never EVER felt freedom….So hate me if you will, but that is what I truly believe, call me a idealist, or a pathetic excuse of an American for having an opinion, but I will not call these people at least the ones that are seeking freedom monsters, and I wont call you guys names like you have me.

Kalshion
Posted on March 22, 2011 at 5:33pmSorry SM, but I disagree with you here.
Slow the video down and take a closer look. A bomb dropped from an aircraft won’t explode in that fashion, and cluster bombs are presently NOT being used, plus the way the explosion occurs speaks that it‘s more like it’s a staged explosion, det-cord. IF it had been a bomb dropped by an aircraft, based on the distance that explosion was, an air-dropped bomb we’ve KILLED those people there.
How do I know? Because when I saw the explosion like that I did a search on the net for explosions and pretty much found some that utilize controlled detonations. You can time the detonations to occur all at once and all of that occured at once. This is theoritically IMPOSSIBLE to do, even with cluster bombs and thus is only possible if it’s a planned (IE: Staged) event.
Yea, we see what the headline is, but headlines can be wrong as can the perosn reporting what is going on. Hell, there was an instance in Afgan where CNN stupidly reported that a building had been destroyed by one of our bombers and later it was discovered to have been destroyed by an US Army tank from almost two and half miles away, whom destroyed the building due to the terorrists using it as a sniper post.
One thing you need to learn about news articles is that they won’t always know the full picture, with this video we can all see what is going on. There is a strong following even off this site that the video is faked for either propaganda purposes or for some other reason.
Also, if you’re going to argue, don’t resort to insults and name calling. Because that‘s just proving that you can’t argue respectfully.

Report Post »Your willing suspension of disbelief is truly amazing. So the story said ‘dropped’? So? So there’s no other possibility, then? Interesting theory you have there. Tell me something, please. Why were they shouting ‘Allah is great’, or whatever the translation is? Shouldn’t they be shouting “Hey, this guy beside us can predict exactly when and where a bomb will be dropped!” That would make more sense. Further (that means there‘s more stuff I’m going to type), no one who is caught unexpectedly by a blast such as this one would be able to ‘bark’ their tires in such a small amount of time. The driver would have to be disoriented for a full second at the minimum. He’d also have to have the car running, in gear, clutch depressed, with foot on the accelerator in anticipation of this obviously staged event. You’ve done your job here, troll.

Posted on March 22, 2011 at 7:25pmKalshion, we just have to agree to disagree.
I think it was a bomb, doesn’t have to be a BIG bomb, the article described it as a bomb, it sounded like a bomb to me, it looked like a bomb, the people reacted like it was a bomb, it was a bomb.
BTW Kalsion, I didn’t call any names, look closely. Actually read what I said.
WoodyPynes
They were shouting ‘Allah is great’ because they’re muslims, and they look at the invasion of their country’s airspace as a crusader campaign. As far as tires “barking”, you don’t know if that was in acceleration away from the impact or braking, because it isn’t clear in the video. From what I heard, it sounded like he tried to peel off and the engine either stalled or he wasn’t in gear when letting off the clutch, because you can hear the engine revving as if trying to be restarted or trying to accelerate while not in gear.
If you have some supernatural insight as to exactly what the action was that caused the sound of tires squealing then by all means please share with us, otherwise, be silent peon.

If you look closely, the explosives were exploding in a chain-like fashion. Similar to movie explosions .. for example .. the one in Armageddon where the Asteroid hit Paris.
A few explosive charges and some detonator cord will do this EXACT type of explosion. That’s all this was. A staged event in order to get people like you all excited.

Perhaps you’re illiterate, but the article mentions it numerous times.
“Moment of Impact: Shocking Video Captures Bomb Hitting Libyan Crowd”
Let me help you.
Hitting: hit: the act of contacting one thing with another; “repeated hitting raised a large bruise”; “after three misses she finally got a hit”
Libyan: Of or relating to Libya or its people, language, or culture. n. 1. A native or inhabitant of Libya. 2. A Berber language of ancient northern Africa.
Crowd: A large number of persons gathered together; a throng. 2. The common people; the populace. 3. A group of people united by a common characteristic, as age
Now of course you’re going to argue what the definition of “is” is, typical stupid garbage.
If I didn’t say “I hate America”, then there is nothing you can deduce from my statements that that is so. And you can stop putting words in my mouth and trying to create your own definitions.
You’re a delusional idiot.

Posted on March 22, 2011 at 4:40pmYeah it does look staged… specifically, the guy on the right seems to be anticipating the explosion. This is propaganda.

Posted on March 22, 2011 at 4:48pmKudos to all who noticed,I watched a couple of times and thought I saw lots of puffs going up. Almost looked like concert pyrotechnics. With a flippin rolling camera for good measure. I vote staged.

I agree, The guy on the right looks back at the area, way before the explosion, yet nothing is there, like he was expecting it. Plus, too small of an explosion for an aerial bomb, if you watch it in slow motion, there were four small explosions that pretty much went off in succession. Could’ve been from a cluster bomb, but didn’t we quit using those because they were too effective??

Posted on March 22, 2011 at 7:33pmIt’s almost identical to the scene (the explosion) in “armageddon” when Paris got hit with the asteroid. They laid out multiple small explosives and detonated them in a chain-like fashion (like a very fast detonating pack of firecrackers) .. which is why this looked the way it did.
Staged.

Posted on March 22, 2011 at 8:59pmI’m no expert but this appears to be a Staged Event! 16 second mark shows multiple small explosions in the background. Awfully close, and apparently the cameraman got up…seems a bit fishy!

Posted on March 22, 2011 at 10:57pmMy guess would be an incoming artillery round based on the smoke pattern going out, not up. A bomb makes a noise before impact and would have clued them to it. However, if that’s not the case then it was definitely staged. Gadaffy could be using propaganda to screw with Obama.

Posted on March 22, 2011 at 11:55pmWow… thanks for pointing out the 16 second mark thing. I hadn’t noticed the odd behavior of some of the people right before the “bomb” went off, including the guy who looked behind him before it even exploded, as if he was expecting it. I vote staged as well, which simply disgusts me. I don’t care who does it, faking something as serious as getting bombed is just shameful and dishonest.

Beginning to think this is a staged event. Watch at the 16 sec mark

Paper is right, it is obvious the man with is triggering the device from his cell phone. It is clear as day, he holds his hand out as he presses send to mark the explosion. They are all chanting to allah before hand because they know the device is planted, they are about to detonate and are offering the martyrs.
The question that I have is who are the people in the frame, who was taking the video? Are they rebels, sympathizers, or just the friendly neighborhood extremists? I can’t believe people can watch this video and miss that. To be aware is to be alive.
