The second blast is now believed to be almost three kilotons of ammonium nitrate seized from a ship several years ago.

The first thing I thought was that it looked just like the Tianjin explosion. It immediately made me think industrial accident rather than any terrorist stuff.

When I was a kid Beirut was in the news a lot for explosions . Then I heard almost nothing about Beirut for 30 years. Now it’s in the news for an explosion, though a different type . It’s like d eja vu all over again.

Set up a supply depot for Hezbollah. Works until someone else figures out there’s a giant , unprotected bomb just sitting in the middle of Beirut.

Beirut has been in political turmoil for over a year, and it was known that a shit ton of ammonium nitrate was stored in the warehouse. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone set the fire intentionally.

I believe the appropriate response to that blast wave is "holy fucking shit balls!"

A lot of innocent people killed and injured. You certainly could have though t you were at a safe distance and then al l of the sudden you weren’t . There is going to be a lot of second guessing of that storage location and perhaps some hard hitting accountability.

I mean, it wouldn't exactly be a shock if someone did that, but my gut feeling is accident.
