FYI, as wrote in #56, all the equipment -- and all but one fireman in the Texas City fire department were wiped out in the 2.3 KT SS Grandcamp ammonium nitrate blast.

Understood. I guess what I’m saying is that since they were holding the ammonium nitrate pending resolution of the court actions, the port authorities should have prevented flammable items being stored adjacent.
I imagine the Beirut fire department knew the 2,750 tons were there and pointed this out to the mayor or whoever but were ignored?
It looks like they weren’t there when explosion occurred.
