That would be the 2nd explosion that caused a mushroom cloud over the port. Dayumm !!Reuter’s was earlier reporting someone left a couple thousand tons of ammonium nitrate in a warehouse for a decade and forgot about it.
I could be mistaken, but isn't ammonium nitrate only half the equation for {BIG BOOM}. Don't you also need diesel fuel?Trump said during the coronavirus update that this was an “attack” as briefed by his advisors while Reuter’s was earlier reporting someone left a couple thousand tons of ammonium nitrate in a warehouse for a decade and forgot about it. Curious how this sorts out.
That’s where I saw it. Holy crap that’s a sick explosion!Saw this earlier, so horrible. There's one video from a balcony far away that shows the instant of the secondary explosion. Very sad

Imagine how terrifying it would be to see an enormous shockwave coming at you that fast. I got a little scared just watching that. Holy fuck.Saw this earlier, so horrible. There's one video from a balcony far away that shows the instant of the secondary explosion. Very sad
Stored in/near a fireworks factory that appears to have caught fire.I definitely don’t know anything about this kind of thing, but I would assume they are just speaking to the fuel of the explosion. I would have to imagine you would need some other intervening force. I mean apparently the 2700 tons of this stuff where sitting there fine for many years until something else came along, if true.

Halifax and Texas City had similar explosions last century. It is tragic, but nothing new.

Wow, it looks like that is at least a half mile away and the shock wave just destroys that white building
