or whether there was a possibility of a weapons cache being hidden there
I disagree, they show that the colour of the smoke and the different burn zones/phases is consistent with the declared contents of the warehouse. Anything further than that would be idle speculation.
I thought the cause of the fire was found? Wasn’t it sparks from workers welding on a security door to prevent someone from sneaking into the warehouse and setting off the giant bomb they had built?
From what I remember, the welders did their job and left, then the fire started later.
Also, they never question why 2 tons of unclaimed ammonium nitrate was just sitting in the warehouse for 5-6 years. This stuff is expensive yet no one was trying to get it back.
They never touched those controversial parts of the explosion:
-jets
-was the fire intentional?
-what was it doing there to begin with
Just because you finish a job doesn't mean there isn't hot items still around. Many companies and OSHA specifically, in the states require several hours of observation after doing things that create sparks in high combustible areas. Sparks from metal can also migrate quite far or catch easier to burn metals too.
The unclaimed ammonium nitrate was simply government negligence, it wasn't unclaimed it was confiscated and never moved or properly secured.
They also didn't investigate reports of John McClane (of the Die Hard movie fame) tossing a cigarette into the warehouse, backwards while walking away, a few minutes before the explosion... I'm unsatisfied that they didn't entertain my conspiracy theory! /s
If you actually informed yourself properly about this explosion (instead of reading -- I'm going to assume -- conspiracy websites), why the whole thing was sitting there for so long is pretty clear, and is actually briefly covered in the video (6:05): no one in the government nor military felt responsible nor did they want to take responsibility, having a fight using letters instead of recognizing the danger and acting to fix it. As to the source/why no one wanted it back, that's also been covered in the media.
I'm Lebanese myself and I did inform myself don't worry about me. I also talked to real people affected by the blast and claim they saw Jets as well. I would have loved it if the vid had tackled this and debunked it completely. I'm not claiming otherwise.
There was definitely military/gov negligence and I even call kit suicidal levels of incompetence.
However, they never talk about the original owners of the ammonium nitrate to begin with. I remember it being said that it was a ship that was sinking so it had to be emptied at the port for temporary storage. I'm asking why did the original owner of 2 TONS of it never came to get it back?
I don't think what I'm asking merits these kinds of answers.
Why does one video have to answer every question and entertain every theory? (Should it also answer my question if John McClane was seen at the scene?).
It's a video showing a 3D model/timeline from publicly released videos. If I claim "my friends saw Aladdin flying on his magic carpet before the explosion" but there's no video/photo of this claim, they can't use that claim for their reconstruction. And they're not going to talk about Aladdin because that's not the point of the video.
> There are several videos showing flying objects and several people reporting that jets were flying. [...] I will say it again, there exists SEVERAL different videos that show this.
Here's one article that talks about it. Again, there are plenty of doctored videos that are obviously fake but this article does not use them.
And people here seem to assume that me asking about it means that I believe that that it was an air strike. All I am saying is that I wished Forensic Architecture had tackled these subjects as well and debunked them since these are the actual controversial subjects regarding the blast.
So this one right [0] which is from right before the fireworks went off. What you're hearing is a lot of small explosions from fireworks going off around the edges before the main mass goes off, there's similar sounds in a lot of other videos of burning fireworks it's just a bunch of very small fireworks going off.
There's no other actual evidence of strikes none of the cameras seems to have caught the missile or bomb which with so many cameras watching the same thing you would have had one catch a frame at least of it and no one's found it.
You are not going to convince a bunch of people that generally require evidence for their beliefs to side with you on another possibility if it doesn't rise above speculation. You cannot even find a video to link to, admitting many are doctored, you simply keep saying there are lots of videos. You are in the wrong community if that's the conversation you want to have.
the welders did their job and left, then the fire started later.
Are you familiar with tire fires? That's what the welders set off. These are not rapid combustive fires, they are slow burners that take some time to really get going. The fully expected result of welding setting off a tire fire is that it would smolder and get worse over a prolonged period of time (compared to an explosion)
* they never question why 2 tons of unclaimed ammonium nitrate was just sitting in the warehouse for 5-6 years*
It's been fairly well reported in other outlets that concerns were raised about the conditions in the warehouse, and then ignored.
jets
Jets fly, literally, everywhere.
intentional
No analysis has suggested this except conspiracy theory speculation
> Also, they never question why 2 tons of unclaimed ammonium nitrate was just sitting in the warehouse for 5-6 years. This stuff is expensive yet no one was trying to get it back.
It was seized, it belongs to the government at that point there was no one to come claim it. It was their job to safely store and dispose of in some manner.
