Yes Totally rearranged. Looked up the Texas Port explosion incredible. What happened is similar smoke billowing for hours, people coming to watch, said the water was boiling by the ship and the ship had an orange glow all while the pressure was building. Wow!

Wow. Just wow. I wonder if that was live streamed. I'd have a hard time believing that person lived.

2750 tons of ammonium nitrate according to the PM of Lebanon. Said it had been sitting in a warehouse for 6 years.

OLD explosives stored in an uncontrolled environment

I think we may have found a few Darwin Award winners

Much more plausible explanation than fireworks.

My TNT equivalent math might be a bit off here, but B-52s carrying 80 MK-82 500 pound bombs (each have 196 pounds of Tritonal, I think), that's 140 B-52s.

I'm not buying this.

It says RIP in the title for a reason.

What you're witnessing in the video is just before the blast you saw in other videos. Obviously the blast would have vaporized him and the phone.

An unusual rust colored cloud after the explosion. It doesn't look like a ship was at the center of the explosion but now simple would it be to bring a ship full of explosives or a nuke into a US port. I know there are safe guards in place but still....

Probably soil from the crater it created being thrown into the air

When you pile nearly 3 kilotons of it in one place, then let it get hot, moist and decay for SIX years...
All of the useful roles go right out the windows (and the walls!)

It could have sat there for decades and been fine, the fireworks caused the problem.
Just like when the port of texas blew up. A ship full of it was fine until a diesel leak and a careless smoker set it off. It needed an igniter, and it got a good one.

That sounds more like it...

Now for the next question. Who found out these long ignored explosives were here, and decided to put them to use?

Looks like the fireworks blowing up caused it to detonate...

Step 1. Steal contents of warehouse. Step 2. Blow up warehouse. Step 3. Get away with stolen contents of warehouse.
