Large explosion at Iranian port in Bandar Abbas

Iran's Tasnim News Agency: "The blast wave was so strong that it severely damaged most of the buildings in the port, and all the cars were damaged and somewhat crushed. It is not clear how many employees were at the scene of the explosion at the time of the incident, but according to a number of port employees, many people were likely injured or even killed in the incident...because the blast wave was so strong, many of the port's employees are still in shock." (Reporting is from their Telegram account)

Dare I hope that they’re doing the job themselves so we don’t have to?

[logi_cal869]

“Fuel tank” my arse.

That was likely rocket fuel, explosives or ammonium nitrate.

And a significant quantity at that (quite a bit more than ‘a container’).

[mewzilla]

FWIW, if this was the result of a deliberate act, I’m less concerned about the who than the why.

Especially these days.

[jjotto]

It started with orange mist from ammonium nitrate, then a fire, and then the main explosion with recently arrived sodium perchlorate (rocket fuel ingredient).

[logi_cal869]

Certainly plausible. VERY high order detonation.

Israel News Pulse:
"On March 30, an Iranian cargo vessel arrived at the port of Bandar Abbas, carrying 24 containers of sodium perchlorate, a key material used for solid-fuel ballistic missiles."

"The ship sailed from Shanghai without military escort."

[Thud]

The explosion was so big it was visible from space.

Can’t misspell an emoji.

In College a friend could type and spell (in the 1960s before computers) and I had an electric typewriter. So I gave him the typewriter in exchange for him typing and correcting my atrocious spelling. He made pretty good money typing other peoples papers
