I'm sure that's Trumps fault.

Lebanon is saying either - It was a supply of ammonium nitrate scheduled to be turned over; or
- It was a fireworks factory.
in either case the [ammonium nitrate/fireworks] was/were ignited by a nearby fire.
non-Lebanese sources suggest that warehouse was where missiles and other weapons supplied by Iran are stored until they are out in use.
Choose whom you will believe.

What could explode like that? Ammonium Nitrate, but it needs a trigger... or missiles. |

I find it impossible to believe that was a fireworks explosion, especially in a country that probably doesn't have a huge fireworks market.

What could explode like that? Is that Jerry Nadler? |

One video I saw, did show several minor explosions prior to the main one: Videographer was close enough that he probably expired right after taking the video... But these were not a fireworks factory... more like missile triggers exploding as a prelude to the main event. |

That white percussion wave covered an awful lot of real estate in a very short period of time. The only things I've seen like that are atomic events, or the wave of super-heated ash that rolled of Mount St. Helens.

Or maybe that's where they were keeping all the "bombshells" that Nadler kept referring to but never produced. Ya gotta think out of the box, sometimes..............................Luca |

I think the biggest question is why they were storing ammonium nitrate in an unsecured warehouse in a major population center.
Talk about negligence, sheesh.

Yeah... but no! that was no fireworks factory, and I’m not thinking Ammonium Nitrate would even do this... if you watch some of those videos, there were several smaller explosions both before and during the main show.  |
