I think it's not fireworks and it's not ammonium nitrate. It was a secret munitions depot that the Lebanese government wants to keep a secret.

Lebanese president says 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate, used in fertilizers and bombs, had been stored for six years at the port without safety measures. "Those responsible will pay the price," he says.

In other words, IT WAS NOT ISRAEL.

All these supposed tactical " geniuses " who are so eager to see war yet don't even know the difference between ordnance exploding and raw volatile materials.

Funny that there has only been one other global leader, besides Lebanon's president initially, that immediately and still now continues to tout the possibility of it being an attack.

Someone must be desperate to start WW3 in order to put elections on hold.

Two words: PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY.

The Beirut authorities immediately stated that the Ammonium Nitrate had been stored there since 2014.

BUT, after a little fact-checking this is what I discovered:

1. The shelf life of unopened Ammonium Nitrate is only FIVE YEARS.

2. If the packaging allows exposure to external atmosphere, that shelf life is reduced to only ONE YEAR.

I could not find any data on how sea air affects the rate of deterioration, but high levels of humidity -as would be present in a seaport- causes Ammonium Nitrate to solidify and render it useless as fertilizer. That's why airtight packaging is crucial!
This would explain why it was still sitting in that warehouse: nobody wanted to buy it because they knew it was already worthless.


3. Unlike many chemical compounds that become more unstable as they reach their expiration dates, Ammonium Nitrate does NOT and actually becomes LESS volatile as it deteriorates with age.

These stats come directly from Romil Chemicals, Ltd., a leading UK manufacturer of industrial chemical compounds including Ammonium Nitrate.

It may still BURN, but it doesn't EXPLODE like it does when still fresh!

BTW: the fact that so much Ammonium Nitrate was in that warehouse at all only further supports the Israeli claim that the dock was a hub for bomb-making activities.

The Lebanese Prezzie should have said, "SURE! There was an unreasonable amount of very old Ammonium Nitrate stored there... but, I promise we only used it on our Olive trees and Grape vines!"

so, when i watched the explosion videos, it looks as if fireworks are going off in a building on the port. There is a close up video on another thread of firworks going off, a fire created and then the two huge explosions. The first explosion was the fireworks factory at the port, then the ammonium nitrate storage blew up

so we wait for the verdict from the lebanese gov't itself in the weeks and months ahead.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79229019


Do you believe everything your government tells you? If not, then why would you believe an official Lebanese explanation?

As that conflagration began I saw those sparkling flashes of light myself but they could just as easily have been small, medium or large rounds of ammunition and not lady fingers, Black Cat 1-1/2's or M-80's.

And every accidental fireworks warehouse blaze I've seen [I'm a fan of pyrotechnics and have handled professional components] always has burning -and colorful- aerial displays shooting through the ground smoke/flames which are themselves tinged with color from the chemical compounds used.

Did YOU see any? I sure didn't!

I remember, it was Hisbollah who MURDERED 241 U.S. MARINES STATIONED IN BEIRUT TO KEEP THE PEACE. COWARDS ARE LEBANESE SHI.tt.IIITE MUD--SLIMES.

President Trump spoke on the 35 anniversary of these terrorist's murder of American Soldiers:



On October 25, President Trump commemorated the 35th anniversary of the bombing on the Ma.rine Bar.racks in Beirut, Lebanon. The country had been embroiled in a civil war since 1975. In 1982, President R.eagan dispatched U.S. troops to Lebanon on a peace keeping mission. On October 23, 1983, a truck bomb claimed the lives of 241 U.S. service personnel, the deadliest attack on Marines since the battle of I.w.o. J.im.a in 1945.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78347277


Ammonium Nitrate is a granular compound that isn't commonly packed into drums. Like many other fertilizers, the usual container is a polyethylene-lined Tyvek or paper bag; since this is a commercial fertilizer, those bags would typically weigh around 100 lbs and are totally unlike the colorful Miracle-Gro you see at WalMart.

They would be stacked upon pallets/stretch-wrapped and care would have to be taken when stacking those pallets to ensure bags underneath weren't punctured. But ruptured or not, Polyethylene is a porous material that doesn't hermetically seal those bags from the humidity that will eventually degrade the contents.

As Ammonium Nitrate absorbs moisture from the atmosphere, it first hardens into a solid mass; this can occur within a year of storage. Every gardener who's bought a big box of Miracle Gro knows how fast that stuff starts to get hard once the box is opened!

Once that process begins, Ammonium Nitrate starts to lose its potency/volatility making it unusable for either fertilizer OR the manufacture of explosives. As it absorbs more and more air-borne moisture, Ammonium Nitrate can actually liquify which causes a big -and very corrosive- mess.

Once you a start to think outside the box the MSM herd-dogs are feeding your flock from, the whole Ammonium Nitrate cover story starts to fall apart.

My Office (in #BEIRUT)... After the Blast


THIS IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LEBANON:

[link to beirut-today.com (secure)]

[link to beirut-today.com (secure)]
^^^ this picture here ^^^

Sometimes a picture really can tell the whole story. Whoever took this photo was part of the team that destroyed the place, I am now firmly betting on Mossad, and 50/50 split between nuke and sabotage of an Iranian missile facility. If Israel did this for the sole purpose of destroying the port, they probably plan to take Lebanon soon. But even if all they did was take out a weapons facility, it was Israel either way, This photo proves it.

This photo was taken with strong telephoto from a high end SLR that had a large lens, the bokeh and composition proves it. Someone went in there special to do this and was not just walking around with their phone. The mocking attitude expressed by the "Goodbye" is so claimed-hebrews the filth of it poisoned the harbor.

-

!!! NO WAY and NO WAY. First Lebanon. Then a huge famous mall in the UAE:

[link to twitter.com (secure)]

!!! AND THEN A HUGE WAREHOUSE INFERNO IN IRAQ:

[link to twitter.com (secure)]

!!! NO FREAKING WAY.

The warehouses in Iraq started with "what sounded like fireworks", just like Lebanon.

-

Winning rumor (What I'll rate as the hands down winner :)

Iran was assembling weapons in that warehouse next to the grain elevator, and in reality, the explosion was caused by improperly activated solid rocket fuel. Ammonium nitrate? MY @SS. AS IF tons of fireworks and other goodies were in that warehouse with a bunch of abandoned fertilizer, RIGHT ON THE MOST PRIME REAL ESTATE IN THAT PORT. How stupid. What a stupid thing to say. However, high value weapons there? Israel not happy with that? Maybe. Great rumor.


After all, you could totally get around sanctions by putting your goodies together there! What's the president of Lebanon going to admit to? Fertilizer, or Iranian weapons facility?



There is some reasonably damning stuff in the SATELLITE IMAGE, it is fairly obvious Israel did this.

In this photo: You can clearly see that buildings, even those protected from the blast by the grain elevator, got obliterated. I doubt this was "2700 tons of amonium nitrate" that was never even mixed with fuel to make it go boom. Something else did this, NICE CRATER:
