An audio message from the wife of an official (private WhatsApp group) claims the blast was due to & #39;utter negligence& #39;.
Ammonium Nitrate was & #39;salvaged from a sinking ship& #39; about 12 years ago and stored at & #39;Hangar 12, one of #Beirut harbour& #39;s biggest& #39;.

A & #39;health and safety& #39; check done 6 months ago revealed & #39;the extremely dangerous and volatile circumstances& #39; the NaNo3 was stored in.
& #39;This is extremely volatile material which is liable to ignite at any time, especially in circumstances of excessive heat or humidity& #39;

She quotes her husband as having told her what the health and safety report said at the time.
