The Hezzy’s throw the best parties & the cover stories work for everybody. Netanyahu told the world about the Iranian missile sites there two years ago at the UN. God gave man more than a crystal ball, eyes & ears - but nobody ever cares, sees or listens. God Bless America + Maranatha!

That place is really a mess ... even by Beirut standards. Thanks for posting :)

I'm thinking intentionally set fire, for the purpose of causing the blast.
A long planned option for the terrorists, staged by sympathizers in their gov't.

“Very few laypeople make the connection between fertilizer and explosives. And thats likely what was at work here.”
This is the MIDDLE EAST we’re talking about. They may not be a bunch of Nobel winners, but they sure as hell understand explosives and munitions.

It was a “mostly peaceful” explosion.

[This is the MIDDLE EAST were talking about. They may not be a bunch of Nobel winners, but they sure as hell understand explosives and munitions.]
On average, they’re a bunch of stupid (in a literal sense, i.e. not enough upstairs) amateurs, and we’re fortunate that they’re a bunch of hopeless incompetents. Arab guerrillas with the intelligence of the average white American would have made our lives much worse. It took serious brainpower, by local standards, to kill hundreds of Marines in Beirut, with Soleimani, a bright man by regional standards, a key player in that incident. Whereas McVeigh and Nichols, basically underclass whites acting on their own without any adult supervision, spent $5000 to bring down an Oklahoma City Federal building.

Fire can absolutely trigger it under the right circumstances. It has happened in multiple ammonium nitrate explosions over the years, such as the West, TX explosion from a few years ago.

The real crime is why did the port authorities allow a fireworks to be stored right next door. That’s really dumb, yes?

That picture shows the bags to be “Nitroprill HD” which is a rip-off of Nitropril, a brand made in Australia, which is BLASTING grade AM not fertilizer.

Ukraine seems to crop up more than once?
I read somewhere this ship originated from the Ukraine;
Ukraine seems to have been involved in breaking the trade and arms embargoes to Iran;
airliner shot down recently over Tehran (one of many that flew over that morning) by a trigger-happy recruit was en route to Ukraine;
now a trigger-happy welder and this happens!
