Beirut Lebanon blast videos
7 years ago, a Panama registered cargo vessel was stranded at Beirut port - due to mechanical problems. The ship's owners deserted the ship & left it's crew high & dry after some months. After months, the ship's crew were allowed to leave ship & go home.
However, with the ship stranded at Beirut port for non-payment of dues - it's the cargo of 2700 TONS of deadly Ammonium Nitrate was offloaded into some warehouses inside the port. The legal battle between the Port & ship owners continued for years...while the cargo of Ammonium Nitrate rotted in the warehouses on land.
It is learned that the port authorities were continuously had appealed several times for permission from the state administration to dispose of this harmful and dangerous chemical from the premises by either shifting it to some other safe area or by selling it off to a countries army. The several letters from the Port authorities to the state administration were never got the deserving attention and the same resulted in this tragedy which the entire world witnessed. Yes, then this happened... 2700 Tonnes of deadly explosive cargo went BOOM in a warehouse & flattened a large part of Beirut city.
