Chemistry does not discriminate, it adheres to it's own elemental laws ~ those laws do not coddle the stupid & unthoughtful, and often take advantage of accidents caused by the same adjectives.

We can all be intolerant and hypocritical from time to time, and I don't exclude myself from this. It is a very human failing. But quite frankly I find the use of labels such as bigot unhelpful. They carry the imputation that all of the so-called bigots opinions are tainted by irrationality and are not to be taken seriously. I do not place George in this category. The way to deal with these opinions is to confront and discuss them, not call the person who holds them a bigot and move on. Who knows, you may find out that you don't have a monopoly on the truth after all.
As for the main topic, I simply don't know the circumstances at this stage, but am always sceptical of news reports in this type of situation. At this stage conspiracy theories abound, as they usually do when facts are in short supply.

Oh look a dumpster fire ..... and I arrived late and forgot to bring some marshmellows.
The first I saw of this somebody sent me a video (the one from the balcony) with no message or context while I was at work. In the first few seconds I saw are good size mushroom cloud and wondered wow, something made good size bang there. But then I started to see the brown smoke and commented to a friend on the phone that was a LOT of Nitrogen Dioxide happening there and this was a nitrate fire and the doing the video should get the fvck outta there because shit is about to get a whole lot worse. Oops, too late. The few minutes I thought he had is now a few seconds to run inside and get away from the windows.
My next comment was, "DANG! -That's a prilled amonium nitrate fire. I can't wait to see some dash cam footage of that."
Yes I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.
in one of the videos you can see fireworks going off in the smoke cloud.
Dozens of bags of fireworks were stored in the same hangar as thousands of tonnes of ammonium nitrate at Beirut’s port and may have been a decisive factor in igniting the explosive chemical compound that fuelled Tuesday’s huge explosion, a former port worker and other sources have told the Guardian.
I personally don't buy the fireworks story for a second.
Just look up Fire works Factory fires and then Ammo dump Fires on YT and see the way they burn and which one most looks like the Beirut Fire.
My bet is there were Munitions of some sort stored in or near there.
The original gubbernint story said it was a fireworks factory, now it's bags of fireworks stored there. Wonder how much more the story will change?
I doubt whatever it is, the real story will come out . Some of course believe the media never lies let alone gubbermints so we will be fed whatever they would like us to believe.
The soft of head and heart media were probably happy this over shadowed the 75th anniversary of the Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki which would have been today. I can imagine the guilt tripping that would have gone on over that from the leftard press. History will record 3 Big blasts in the one week on the calendar.
Seems the Lebbo Gubbermint has turned down offers for an international Investigation and told it's own people they want a definitive answer into the cause of the incident in 4 Days.
Nothing like a rushed investigation to get to the truth of a matter. Especially if you have already told investigators what you want the official findings to be.
The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

A day to remember.................

"The claim that fireworks were being stored in the same warehouse as the ammonium nitrate appears to be confirmed by phone footage, apparently filmed by a port worker"
Like eeprommemory, I also saw video footage that shows fireworks going off.. /time will tell

Yeah, I did too. I just don't believe they were fireworks, I think they were some sort of ordinance/ ammo.
Time MAY tell, but I'm not confident of it telling the truth is all. :0)
Either way, I guess it's pretty irrelevant what the initial fire was. I would say that was the minor stupidity. Ammo or fireworks on it's own, wouldn't have even made the news services.
Having the AN there made it a world historical Disaster.
Now where are the palistine hamas going to get their propellant for there rockets from The darker side is saying thats why it was kept there for every bombmaker to get the free supply . an diesel and water nice propellant unstable but cheap
Haha yes, my reference to the Karens was as equally ridiculous and irrelevant as yours. As for the rest of what you think, for what it's worth, you are also entitled to that.....
But we digress... We should get back to the name calling, outlandish bigotry, racism and just plain ignorance, that this thread like so many others, has descended to.... yet again.
