Before and after picture of the explosion site. Huge crater. If the ammonium nitrate was on the floor of the warehouse at ground level, why did the explosion create a deep crater? Seems like the force of the blast at ground level would have completely collapsed the adjacent grain elevators.

What a horrific tragedy! AN is nothing to screw around with - why do people never learn this??

Cause the ruling elite are corrupt politicians who made billions and tolerated a militia more powerful than the Lebanese official Army.
Most likely a huge shipment of ammo/explosives was targeted,and no one would dare to admit that fact.
A very sad day for Lebanon.

Continued prayers for your family and friends still in Beirut.

Just stunned. Horrible seeing the various videos of the blast. I can't imagine having to experience it.

Governments all around the world are filled with corrupt politicians who make themselves millionaires/billionaires on the backs of the people.
