I don't know much about Beiruts city geography or agricultural practices, but as a Fire/Post-Blast Investigator, my first question is what is that much chemical fertilizer doing being stored within a major city? Terrible. Huge, high yield explosion like that within a city....catastrophic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
