Looks like the Mossad just prempted the bad guys.

It's a good start.

It was an AN explosion, the same type that happened in Galveston in 1947.
AN is generally not explosive just by itself, however, if you have a massive AN fire it can detonate.
Not terrorist related.

Yes, the story on OAN this morning is that 2,750 metric tons of ammonium nitrate had been stored for six years at a port warehouse. What caused the initial fire is unknown but that s what detonated the ammonium nitrate.


Eh...wot?

I just saw on the news they think the fire started by a welder
