        anyone see that flash right before the big blast, kinda looks like steam? But it looks like it comes from the sky to the right.

        im seeing things and not trying to stoke any dumb idea. Are there any ex military folk that have expertise can comment?

            I'm not a conspiracy guy, but....

            Storing 7200 Tons of ANYTHING for 6 years in a port warehouse makes ZERO sense. Logistically, 7200 Tons of liquid (I'm assuming AN is commonly used in liquid form) takes up a heck of a lot of space. That kind of space in a modern port that close to the harbor is very VALUABLE space, and that warehouse is not that big. Not to mention the value of that product to be setting that long....

            It seems to me it was there for a reason, confiscated or not, it had another purpose.

              Port authority seizes a cargo. Cargo owner then tries to get it released, which if it were a foreign entity to Lebanon may not have had the resources to deal with the govt red tape. The port authority can’t do anything with it because the cargo owner could file a claim against them for loss of value while trying to navigate the regulatory requirements. Nobody's really making any of it a priority, and then boom goes the dynamite.

                I am betting it was in prill form not liquid. If some diesel was in it , the blast would
                Of been much much worse. It takes a lot to detonate dry AN and when it does , it is much slower burning then when it is mixed correctly.

                    Pretty much my thoughts. Probably a stockpile for Hamas to draw from in making their explosives. Also think Israel would have no hesitation in getting rid of it.

                            What I am saying, is they probably chose that particular whare house, because the grain elevator was next to it. They knew the volume of ammo or weapons, they needed to store. They probably has a pretty good idea of the amount of damage that would occur, if that ammo went off. Then they wanted the ammo near a port, because it was getting shipped to them on ships, they may have been shipping large volumes out. They could have chosen some of those other whare house, but where they are located, if there was a explosion, there would be a lot more civilian damage. If the put the stuff in the building they put it in, the grain elevator, would cut down on damage.
