Lawyers: “You had been warned of the ship and its cargo.”
Mozambique: “Just because you say it out loud and write it in a letter doesn’t mean it’s true.”

Actually it is Beirut that is saying that.
Mozambique is saying nobody told them the ship was — supposedly — headed there in the first place.

The blast was NOT just ammonium nitrate.
This was a controlled explosion. I’ve looked carefully at the video’s.
Part of the blast is not easily explained.
Most of the blast was blown straight up from the crater. And a vortex existed that consumed much of the material before the last Boom.
This was not an accident.

Don’t be fooled by CNN propaganda.
This was not spontaneous. It was not an accident. No one will ever admit otherwise.

And why not? It is silly it would take all that for one story.

To: Texas Fossil
Interesting. Is this an area of expertise for you? Can you elaborate on the “controlled” aspect of your comment?

BTW, the President of Lebanon says either an accident or a rocket attack of some type. Jet noise is heard on the video just before the explosion, but that may mean nothing.

Except that he has the right to say I told you so... I warned you.

Any idea or guesses on the death toll? That large of an explosion has to blow glass and debris for over two mile radius. At least part of the blast area was over water, not the city center itself. That will help lower the losses, but then it also lets the blast pressure wave go further.
