On August 4, 2020, a catastrophic explosion devastated the port of Beirut, Lebanon. The disaster was caused by the detonation of approximately 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate that had been improperly stored in a port warehouse for six years. The sequence of events began with a fire in a warehouse adjacent to the one containing the ammonium nitrate. The fire spread, leading to a series of initial explosions, and then the massive detonation of the ammonium nitrate stockpile at 6:08 PM local time.

The Red Fort explosion on November 10 was caused by ammonium nitrate fuel oil (ANFO) — a lethal mix that transforms a stable fertilizer compound into a powerful explosive. Tune in to know more. #amoniumnitrate #bomb #explosion #delhi #redfort #blast | Mo.Of.Everything
