Finally revealed the cause of the explosion in Beirut, Lebanon may have come from a welder who was working at the door in the Ammonium nitrate powder warehouse in the port of Beirut, then from this spark which won thousands of tons of Ammonium nitrate powder which eventually led to a large explosion. So this is purely an accident due to poor work safety factors, not terrorist attacks or ballistic missile attacks from other countries.
Ammonium nitrate warehouse explosion itself has occurred several times in the world, and the impact of the explosion is very strong, because even though Ammonium nitrate itself is a fertilizer raw material but can be modified into explosives, even in the past the Bali terror bombings were considered as micro component nuclear explosions The biggest explosive is Ammonium nitrate powder from this fertilizer.
Photo: welding work in the Ammonium nitrate powder storage warehouse in the south before a huge explosion. It can be seen that the safety standard for storing Ammonium nitrate is very poor, even though this is a flammable and explosive compound.
Nitropril fertilizer specifications in the picture above, the biggest component of which is Ammonium Nitrate. Clearly written, this fertilizer has the potential to explode
In the world of detonation there is something called ANFO (ammonium nitrate fuel oil) and this is usually used in mining, fish bombs, and even used by armed militants and terrorists to make improvised explosive devices or more lethal versions of Molotov cocktails.
