Needles & Grooves

Makes a convincing case that keeping 2700 tons of ammonium nitrate in the middle of a city might not be the best course of action.

Yes, when the National News Network of Lebanon described it as an "explosives depot" I immediately went to Realtor.ca to search for any "explosives depots" in my surrounding neighborhood.

My question is how do you even dispose of 2700 tons of ammonium nitrate?

@Twentytwo .... I actually looked it up. A farmer could reasonably use roughly 50 tons to fertilize his field. So that's only 54 fields.... not as crazy as I initially thought.

I'm at work so I haven't really been following... What are the casualties like? Something I saw earlier only said 10 people.

The paper here is saying 73 dead and 3700 injured.

Wow that's crazy. I heard the footage of the explosion is insane.

I don't know if this link will work... warning: it's not for the faint of heart at the end.
