Beirut Explosion

[BushMasterBoy]

A 300 foot crater was made in the dock. Basically a big chunk is water again. That explains the white ball of the explosion. The white ball blast is seawater vaporized. If a tanker full of oil or LNG was there it would have been a much larger blast. As for the chemistry, a fuel has to be added to the ammonium nitrate to explode.
So the official story is the fireworks breached a fuel supply and flooded the ammonium nitrate? Hahaha

I don't believe you need anything more than the ammonium nitrate and gobs of heat. That place in waco (actually, West,, TX) popped when a fire got into their ammonium nitrate storage. Color of the cloud was nowhere near orange though.
