    There is a reference to the storage of Nitrate. That part appears to be true whatever the explosion is.

    An ammonium nitrate explosion produces massive amounts of nitrogen oxides. Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) is a red, bad-smelling gas. Images from Beirut reveal a distinct reddish colour to the plume of gases from the blast.

    Ammonium Nitrate doesn't explode easily... That's why it's mixed with other chemicals. But rarely given right the conditions, decomposition might trigger an explosion. There are instances that this had happened.


    More than 200,000 left homeless, material damage up to $5 billion following Beirut explosion :(

    Revealed that a security report from 2014 warned of the possibility of an explosion in Lebanon's capital as highly explosive materials had not been stored in a way to ensure public safety.
