Its been said that Ammonium nitrate was stored there.
Now can that explode from simply a fire?
And now...go compare that explosion to the one that happened at Henderson NV years ago.
This was a much larger explosion and seems to me something had to be put there to set the whole thing off.
It was clearly detonated with high explosives. I’m not sure the captured sodium nitrate was what blew up.
This is Lebanon, Hezbollah is probably responsible for this. Or a stupid mistake of the Iranian elements in the region.

Yes, the big one was clearly a secondary explosion. One of the videos I saw (taken from relatively close up) showed what appeared (to me, anyhow) to be ammunition and mortar shells “cooking off” in the fires immediately before the “big” explosion happened.
S**t happens, but why store fertilizer for 6 years?
