True as my friend said to me yesterday, but if any of the less educated saw it they have a pretty clear picture now. What is amazing is that it was stored there since 2014 and didn't go off sooner.

Pretty sure that terrorists already know that fertilizer goes boom (and flour dust, and so on). However, as RSColonel said, it's not that easy to bring a couple of thousand tons of stuff into a city. If it were smuggled in in small amounts over time, or hidden aboard a cargo ship with the intent of detonating it pier side or a short distance offshore, I don't think it would be all that difficult. Much easier to get into a truck and drive through a crowded street. Far less chance of detection. Trying to move hundreds of tons of fertilizer takes such a large organization it would have large chances of detection.

Looking at the video from the Sun, I have to wonder why someone set up on a roof to film a fire at the port? Were they expecting it to blow up because it was a Fireworks warehouse?

Slowing this video speed for 0.25 the effect of blast the building at left right (black) is astonished.

There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

It is someone's balcony - an apartment, perhaps an office, but you can see potted plants and other elements suggestive of a normal domestic environment. I myself have filmed an accident, fire and explosion (in my case a 'minor' incident involving overheating bitumen using propane heaters on the unfinished roof of a new development ~ some 15 minutes after the initial alarm sounded the propane tanks at the seat of the fire exploded sending debris some 500m into the river (around twice the distance to the window I was filming from). I see nothing unusual or even noteworthy about the filming location (it was slightly rarer to have a film camera when I recorded my fire, but now almost everyone has a tablet, phone or similar device in their pocket/bag nearly all the time, and the absence of such footage would have been more surprising IMO).

Only if one wears a tinfoil suit. AAAAND the video is now deleted....maybe because it show a invisible object in the sky near the building being vaporized by the blast ?
