How then do we hear in the several audio tracks of the explosion hundreds of ammo rounds cooking off? Much more than ammonium nitrate in that warehouse in my opinion.

There is a fire and lots of smaller explosions, many of which appear to be like fireworks first, and then the massive explosion. The second explosion was apparently in a building next to the original fire. You can see that on videos from Beirut.

“There is a fire and lots of smaller explosions, many of which appear to be like fireworks first, and then the massive explosion. The second explosion was apparently in a building next to the original fire.”

In reviewing the Wiki history of Ammonium Nitrate explosions, it was unbelievable how many of them were caused by a nearby fire at a military site and a rocket or explosive device getting launched into the adjacent AN storage site.

Wile E. Coyote must be the guy in zoning for a lot of these places.
