"Sure, Abdul. Put those crates of fireworks next to those bags of ammonium nitrate. What could possibly go wrong?" 🙄

6000 years of history in the Middle East and yet no one is smart enough to separate fireworks from 2750 metric tons of Ammonium Nitrate.

The fact is that even if there were fireworks stored next to the ammonium nitrate and even if the fireworks were set off, the ammonium nitrate would not explode without the presence of an oxidizer, the most common of which is diesel fuel or fuel oil. In fact, the explosive made from ammonium nitrate is called ANFO which is an acronym for ammonium nitrate-fuel oil. Any story that ignores this fact is complete and utter BS. Think Timothy McVeigh - what did he use? Ammonium nitrate-based fertilizer and diesel fuel. He got a pretty impressive blast, but without the diesel fuel, he would have gotten nothing.

After seeing the vid’s I have been thinking why are what appears to be - at the least - fireworks exploding in the same warehouse as the AN is being stored.

Who would store fireworks in a building full of AN?

Check this out. Someone was getting married at the wrong time.

What would have been a beautifully-shot wedding video turned into a scene from a disaster movie as the shockwave from #BeirutBlasts ripped through the Lebanese capital and blew out the church’s stained glass windows, just as the bride was about to enter.
