What a series of events. Firemen put water on a small fire, which then reacts with calcium carbide to make acetylene, which explodes, setting off ammonium nitrate which then scatters cyanide.
More like “A series of unfortunate events.”
I’m guessing that they may not have the strict rules and regulations that we have in the U.S. that may limit some of this. The trouble with regulations (like OSHA), they are meant so that you don’t store this stuff in close proximity, have a plan and the firefighters know it, etc. But then it morphs into having warning labels on Wite-Out.
In 1947, the Port of Texas City lost all but one of its firefighters when a ship's cargo of 2300 tons of ammonium nitrate detonated with an explosive yield estimated between 2.7 and 3.2 kt. The fire got going around 8 am, but the ammonium nitrate didn't go up until 9:12, thus allowing the firefighters plenty of time to get too close.
My God -- you've just given an EXACT description of Obama's Middle East foreign policy!!
ROFLMFO -- "face" not "ass" -- otherwise the acronym reads "MAO". Not for the poor Chinese (which is why I modified the acronym), but entirely at Obama, who deserves nothing but obliquy, scorn, and contempt.
