Holy Moly - Explosion in Beirut
They think it was a fireworks depot, but some also think it's terrorism:

No one is yet to comment on this developing story? It's pretty crazy and scary.

Insane. Here's some video of the aftermath. Shocking.
https://twitter.com/CleanAuthoritie/...16050452107266 Hard to imagine that with that much destruction, "fireworks" explains it, but we'll see.

Story I have read said "highly explosive materials" not fireworks. I'm reading into this that it was probably a storehouse for confiscated munitions, etc. which would certainly account for the magnitude of the blast better than fireworks.

Reading that there was a huge store of ammonium nitrate in the port.

So sad. Such a beautiful city and many of the people are so warm and welcoming. Just tragic.

Wow, indications are that this may very well be an accident due to insufficient storage controls. Over a hundred dead (and climbing) and a few thousand injured.

This is an example of not having regulations which occurs after deregulation. In this case a regulation that bands storing explosive devices and highly flammable materials with Ammonium Nitrate.
