The explosion that occurred last Tuesday (August 4th) in the Beirut port, Lebanon, has become a global focus. The accident claimed more than 150 lives, injured approximately 6,000 people, and left 300,000 people homeless.

A fire in a warehouse storing ammonium nitrate is suspected to be the cause of the Beirut blast. This chemical element, used as fertilizer or explosive, had been stored there for six years.

According to research conducted by the University of Sheffield, the Beirut explosion had the force of 1,500 tons of trinitrotoluene (TNT). This non-nuclear explosion is said to be one of the strongest in history. The Beirut explosion was equivalent to 1/10th the power of the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima, Japan during World War II, as cited by Statista.
