Massive explosion in Beirut ...Trump's fault

Lebanon is saying that it was a fire in a storage facility full of ammonium nitrate 

always thought that stuff needed a primer and an energy source to explode. Seems suspicious 

It all depends on what they were doing at the time? Offloading of materials can create static electricity is one possibility but there are others as well. I'll wait until the official word but seeing as it was at a dock/port, I don't think this can necessarily be claimed to be something nefarious?

The view of that shockwave from the boat is nuts.

A couple years ago a house blew up (natural gas leak) like 9 miles away from me. The shock wave felt like it lifted the roof off my house and then set it back down. Crazy. Blew out a bunch of windows and doors in houses close to the blast.

I googled and apparently it can break down and explode under high heat
