Fireworks?

 * Beirut explosion: former port worker says fireworks stored in hangar - The Guardian, August 7, 2020
 * ''Dozens of bags of fireworks were stored in the same hangar as thousands of tonnes of ammonium nitrate at Beirut’s port and may have been a decisive factor in igniting the explosive chemical compound that fuelled Tuesday’s huge explosion, a former port worker and other sources have told the Guardian.
 * ''In addition, the hangar housed a quantity of fireworks, Shehadi said, which customs had confiscated in about 2009-10 and which he said he had personally seen delivered on a forklift. “There were 30 to 40 nylon bags of fireworks inside warehouse 12,” he said.

 * ''There have been widespread reports that the fire started at Warehouse 9, which stored fireworks, after sparks from welding work near that warehouse set off the stash. The fire was believed to have spread from Warehouse 9 to Warehouse 12.
 * ''But the claim that pyrotechnical devices were seated right beside the huge pile of potentially highly explosive nitrates added a new level of apparent negligence to mounting evidence that gross mismanagement by Lebanese officials led to Tuesday’s tragic incident.
