News of the explosion in Lebanon has recently shaken the world. The explosion, which resembled an atomic bomb, claimed dozens of lives and injured thousands of other residents. Does this have to do with terrorists or just work accident?

I'm not sure who /what they decided was the cause of the accident. It was horrid though. I haven't caught the news recently. Prayers are needed there and all over with Covid-19.

It has been established that the cause is a chemical that has accumulated a long time in the harbor, ammonium nitrate.

Not only did it cost many lives, but there were countless material losses. Thousands of people lost their homes and jobs, this is even sadder.

It is well known why the pile of thousands of tons of ammonium nitrate that has been stored for years in a warehouse without high safety standards. It was suspected that it exploded due to a welding spark while repairing the metal door at the harbor warehouse.

it was their government's fault because they kept much of the 'nuclear waste' for many years now.

It seems so, maybe they are saving for making weapons in the future. I do not know.

This can happen only because of the negligence of a handful of people or officials who make dozens of lives lost and material losses that are extraordinary.
