Original Note:
The Beirut explosion on Aug 4 2020, was caused by the detonation of 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate that had been stored unsafely in the port for years. The explosive material had been confiscated from a ship in 2014 and was kept in the port without proper safety measures. https://www.hrw.org/video-photos/interactive/2021/08/02/lebanon-evidence-implicates-officials-beirut-blast-targeted
