Why did the fires in Lebanon cause such panic?

A: The fire in Lebanon is suspected to have been caused by gasoline and tires stored in warehouses, but the cause has not yet been identified, and it is not known if there are other **, and the large fire in Lebanese ports a month ago caused panic among residents.

It was because of a fire in the tire warehouse, and how the fire started is still unknown and has not yet been investigated.

The fire was started by a warehouse where the tires were placed, and the Lebanese military confirmed that it was a fire in the tire warehouse, although the authorities did not believe that the fire would have started**, but there were reports that thick smoke filled the sky in the area of the fire, and because some of the previous ** buildings have not yet had their windows repaired, these buildings may be engulfed in toxic smoke, so it caused panic.

Violence broke out in the port area of Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, on the night of the 4th, this time** killing and injuring more than 4,000 people. ** The scene was a mess. The shock wave caused very serious damage to the surrounding buildings.

The streets were littered with rubble. The sky was full of dust, and the setting sun was shrouded in smoke. Some locals exclaimed:

This is the end of the world. The United Nations Interim Force in Non (UNF) port in Beirut also suffered damage, killing and wounding a number of people, some of them seriously. <>

Earlier, local television reported that ** was linked to fireworks or chemicals stored in the port's warehouses. Earlier, the Lebanese Prime Minister said that a consignment of 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate had been stored in the port warehouse for 6 years without effective precautions. Not long ago, when the staff inspected another hazardous chemicals warehouse next door, they found that the warehouse door was in urgent need of repairs, so they began to weld the warehouse door with explosives on the afternoon of August 4.

During this time, welding sparks ignited the explosives in the warehouse, causing a ** fire. Then, the fire heated up, resulting in ammonium nitrate stored in the warehouse next door**. <>

Many countries, including Israel, have provided assistance to Lebanon. Qatar and Iraq have sent field hospitals to Beirut, and WHO has also sent medicines and surgical kits to Beirut to ** the wounded. The Chinese peacekeeping force in Lebanon has also quickly organized officers and soldiers to understand and grasp the situation of the major accident in the capital of Nen, and to take stock of materials and machinery.

According to current information, the Port of Beirut** is due to poor management of hazardous chemicals. We found that in the course of history, whether it is a developed country or a developing country, such as this ** industrial accident can not be avoided, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France and other Western developed countries, as well as the global chemical giants Monsanto, BASF and Total are on the "list" of the terrible power of ammonium nitrate. Some of them are not very big accidents, and some are serious and extraordinarily large liability accidents.

It was caused by the improper storage of more than 2,000 tons of ammonium nitrate, which had been stored in warehouses for six years, and was left unmanaged.

In fact, it was because of the 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate stored in the port warehouse.

Because it is the local place where ammonium nitrate is stored, it is a **sexual substance, and it is extremely capable.

2,700 tonnes of ammonium nitrate stored in warehouses at Lebanese ports occurred**.

Ammonium nitrate is a dangerous chemical, and Lebanon does not manage it properly, with no proper isolation and protection measures.

This tragedy led to the occurrence of this tragedy.

A few days ago, Lebanon's big ** brought a serious disaster, and many ** were lost. Of course, the direct consequence of this ** is the resignation of the Prime Minister of Lebanon, ** dissolved, so where will Lebanon go next? Is it war or peace?

The huge ** incident in the Lebanese capital was caused by the parked 2,700 tons of chemical ammonium nitrate.

The occurrence of ** in the port of the Lebanese capital formed a fuse and prompted **sudden**.

In fact, it is caused by the occurrence of thousands of tons of ammonium nitrate piled up, and the power is particularly huge.

Industrial raw materials are stored for long periods of time without absolute security measures. 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate were stacked in a place where there were no safety measures for six years.

It is supposed to be caused by improper storage of ammonium nitrate**, and the loss was particularly severe this time.

**Probably caused by 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate stored in the port warehouse in 2014, and recently in order to maintain the warehouse, workers were burning electric welding reinforcement yesterday, and an open flame appeared.

It was the fireworks and chemicals stored in the port that happened, causing very serious damage, and at the same time causing many injuries and deaths, and the leaders of their countries were also very sad about this.

The biggest takeaway for us is that we should pay attention to the preservation of chemicals at all times, and we should also check them regularly.

This incident has indeed made us think deeply and absorb a lot of lessons, I hope we can do the prevention of accidents, and operate according to the requirements, and the regulatory departments must do what they should do.

In this case, many buildings were damaged, the glass of the houses was shattered, and some apartment balconies were also destroyed. We must raise awareness of danger!

Remind us to pay attention to public safety, strengthen precautions against easy and dangerous items, and not take it lightly.

This ** inspired us to properly take care of flammable and explosive materials, and strengthen relevant supervision and control, otherwise it may bring great disasters.

Chemicals should be stored well, especially in a stable place, especially for highly hazardous chemicals such as ammonium nitrate. Avoid high temperatures and open flames.

The implication is that chemicals must pay attention to safety, whether it is in the process of use or in the production process.

For dangerous items, be sure to dispose of them in a timely manner; We must cherish our lives even more, and I really don't know which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident.

According to related sources, a forest fire broke out in northern Lebanon because of this fire. It has already led to the death of at least two people, and we are very saddened by such a result. But there is no way, it has already happened, and we can't change this outcome.

We can only learn lessons and lessons from this case. It is really beneficial for us to avoid similar accidents from happening again. So what was the main cause of the accident?

Not only are the relevant departments conducting further investigations, but we will also be notified as soon as the results of the offline are out. In fact, similar forest fires are very common in our real life, basically every year, more or less there will be some. So what are the causes of these accidents that happen to us?

Let's take a brief look at it below. <>

First of all, there are human causes. We know that there is no fire for no reason, so the most likely cause of the fire is man-made. However, there are many kinds of human reasons, and the results are different in different situations.

Generally speaking, the more common reason may be the hidden danger caused by our tomb sweeping and burning paper money, which is the most common in our real life. <>

Secondly, natural disasters. In addition to one of the man-made causes, it is not excluded that some natural disasters are caused. We know that nature is very amazing and very great.

He will have a lot of physical properties, such as phosphorus fire, which is relatively common in some primeval forests. And when this happens, there is a risk of fire. Therefore, it is also possible that it is due to this natural situation.

Whatever the reason, of course. We don't want to see this kind of outcome, so for us, we have to do a good job of monitoring so that we can avoid similar accidents happening again.

Yes, the fire came out too suddenly, the fire was too big, and the firefighters were fighting the fire urgently.

Yes, the forest fire has killed at least two people, and the economic damage is very large.

According to official reports, the reason for ** was the improper operation of firefighters, which led to the occurrence of ammonium nitrate in storage**. This batch of ammonium nitrate has been held for a long time, but the local ** has not been found.

At around 6 p.m. local time on August 4, 2020, Lebanon suffered a huge ** in the port area of the capital Beirut, ** twice in succession, killing 177 people, injuring more than 6,000 people, and missing 30-40 people. Later, the Lebanese judicial department announced the preliminary findings of the Beirut ** case, because there was serious negligence in the management of warehouse 12 at the port of Beirut, and in addition to the 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate in the warehouse, a large number of fireworks and firecrackers were also stored, which led to the occurrence of the big **.

When the workers were repairing the door, the sparks generated ignited the nearby hazardous chemicals warehouse, causing **.

On the afternoon of August 4, 2020 local time, a major ** incident suddenly occurred in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. According to the relevant ** at the time of the incident, it can be seen that a dense smoke came out of a building, and then suddenly there was a violent **, and the huge smoke quickly spread outward with**, and it can be seen from ** that the photographer of ** was violently impacted at that time. This time, ** has caused damage to many surrounding buildings, according to statistics, the death toll has exceeded 70, and more than 4,000 people have been injured, and the local hospital is quickly at full capacity.

Local witnesses said that the scene was relatively close to the scene at that time, and they saw a thick smoke, followed by a burst of bright light from the smoke, and finally a violent ** sound, so loud that the witnesses had a brief deafness at that time. Later, witnesses saw that the buildings close to the center of the road were slowly collapsing one after another, the road was smashed into ruins by the fallen buildings, and the vehicles parked on the side of the road were also smashed by the debris of the buildings, and many injured people were waiting for rescue, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.

The relevant person in charge said that more than 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate were stored in the area where the occurrence occurred, and ammonium nitrate is often used to make explosives, and the storage conditions are strict, because it is very easy to occur in case of open flames, and many toxic gases will be produced after **. And this time the ammonium nitrate caused by ** is likely to be caused by improper storage, the local ** is investigating the cause of the incident, due to the serious impact on the city and residents, the perpetrators of the incident will be punished very seriously.

The local ** has blocked the place of the incident and the surrounding area, prohibiting pedestrians from passing or approaching, because it is uncertain whether there will be a second **, so the local situation is still relatively dangerous. Smoke occasionally rises above the building, and the sound of ambulances often rings through the empty, messy streets. The specific cause of the accident still needs to wait for the in-depth investigation of the local **.

According to the report, Lebanese Prime Minister Diab attributed the reason to 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate stored in the port warehouse. Before the incident, welding and repair work was being carried out in the warehouse, which may cause a fire and detonate the ammonium nitrate.

The reason for the occurrence of ** is that more than 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate occurred**. It was also the staff who welded the door of the warehouse where the explosives were stored, and the welding sparks ignited the explosives, causing ammonium nitrate ** in another warehouse.

At this time, the exact reason for this is still unclear. But a number of Lebanese **** said that it could be caused by 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate stored in the port warehouse in 2014.

**The exact reason is still unknown. **Probably caused by 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate stored in port warehouses in 2014.

There is ammonium nitrate in Lebanon that has been piled up for six years, and all of it has been accidentally struck, and the problem of residual chemicals has not been dealt with.

At around 6 p.m. local time on August 4, a violent ** occurred in the port area of Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. According to a number of local reports in Lebanon, the incident has killed more than 100 people, injured more than 4,000 people, and left 300,000 people, and the death toll is expected to increase.

Lebanese officials claimed that the ** was triggered by 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate stored in warehouses. These ammonium nitrates have been in storage for six years.

2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate, if triggered **, is equivalent to a small tactical nuclear bomb in the port.

So what exactly is ammonium nitrate here? In fact, it is an ammonium salt, a colorless and odorless transparent or white crystal, which is characterized by violent impact or thermal ** decomposition. The main use of orange is used in chemical fertilizers and chemical raw materials.

In 1659, the German Graubel produced ammonium nitrate for the first time. At the end of the 19th century, Europeans used ammonium sulfate to produce ammonium nitrate by metathesis reaction with Chilean saltpeter. Later, chemist Fritz Haber came up with the idea of combining hydrogen with atmospheric nitrogen to produce ammonia.

This was what came to be known as the "Haber-Bosch ammonia process". By 1913, the German chemical company BASF had established a factory with a daily output of 30 tons of ammonia and the synthesis of ammonia nitrate.

By the time of World War II, ammonium nitrate had long been an essential material for making explosives. After the end of World War II, ammonium nitrate caused the most serious industrial accident in American history.

In the early morning of April 16, 1947, a cargo ship Grand Camp** anchored in Texas City, USA, blew up 2,300 tons of ammonium nitrate on board. ** Broke the hull and blasted tobacco, hemp rope, heavy oil and the remaining bag of ammonium nitrate into the air at an altitude of 600 to 900 meters, and the fireball lit up the sky. ** Caused a metre-high tsunami where huge waves washed up on the pier and flooded the surrounding area.

Window shatters in Houston, 64 kilometers away, and people in Louisiana, 400 kilometers away, felt the shock, killing about 600 people and injuring more than 3,500.

This did not make the United States regulate it, because it has an absolute advantage in meeting the nutritional needs of crops.

However, because of the particularity of ammonium nitrate and the ease of obtaining it as a fertilizer, many people still use it as an explosive. In 2001, there was a major case caused by ammonium nitrate in Shijiazhuang, China, resulting in hundreds of people. Since then, ammonium nitrate has been listed as a control object in China.

Even if it is under control, it also has an identity, that is, chemical raw materials, even if such an accident will still cause an accident, in August 2015, in China's Tianjin Ruihai company dangerous goods warehouse, there was such a ** accident, of which 165 people were killed. The reason is that in hot weather, the spontaneous combustion of nitrocellulose causes a large area of nitrocellulose and other chemicals in adjacent containers, and the resulting high temperature leads to dangerous chemicals such as ammonium nitrate stacked in the arrival area**.

I hope we don't repeat the previous tragedy, every accident is shocking, and every scene is a lesson of blood and tears.
