This is purely gross negligence by the authorities. To discourage event like this from happening again, those responsible must be severely punished.

The ship was not seaworthy. The owners of the ship are more to blame than those that inspected it after it had to divert to Beirut. The officials in Beirut had to store the stuff somewhere initially, as the ship was sinking, and water and ammonium nitrate are not a good mix. So the initial move to store things on land was a sound decision. But it should have been moved somewhere much safer quickly. But probably nobody who could organise that felt responsible and wanted to shoulder the costs.

Why is the media telling watchers the ingredients of homemade bombs!!??
