Satellite images of the Beirut explosion site – before and after
The ship on its side to the north of the blast -- I wonder what kind of damage was able to cause that?  (i.e. the ship not be able to roll back upright?  Seeing footage elsewhere, rolling even to the point of ~45-60 deg is not fatal to an oceangoing container ship)<p>Windows blown out, then force of the overpressure rolling it on its side, then filling with water?  Or unsecured load (being in port) shifting and sinking?<p>Separately, about the chemicals -- at some point, over 6 years, doesn't someone just say, I'm moving this life threatening shit out of here, go ahead and arrest me?   After the Tianjin disaster, wouldn't someone have thought of that, you would think?
