A fire appears to have triggered the explosion of the ammonium nitrate in Beirut. Lebanese broadcaster LBCI and Reuters news agency cited sources as saying the fire was started by welding work being carried out on a hole in Warehouse The port's general manager, Hassan Koraytem, confirmed that maintenance was conducted on the door of the warehouse before the explosion.
More than people were killed, including at the port and further afield. Mr Bonfils, who was involved in restoring buildings damaged in the city during the civil war, was broadcasting video of the incident live on Facebook after the first explosion but was injured in the second and later died. Firefighter Sahar Fares was a first responder at the scene of the blast. Her fiance Gilbert Qaraan mourned her in a post on Instagram, saying his heart burned with the loss.
A photo posted on social media showed Sahar and seven male colleagues, all of whom are said to have died. The last photo of the firefighters from the Beirut Fire Department. They all lost their lives trying to save us all from the tragedy we have become. They were not the only emergency workers to lose their lives during the explosion. According to a list of confirmed casualties released by the Ministry of Health, at least five nurses also died.
German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said a female diplomat from the German embassy had died in her apartment. There are also reports of one American and two Egyptians killed in the blast, while a two-year-old boy from Australia has been confirmed dead. The Lebanon-based cruise ship agency Abou Merhi said two people died and seven were injured when its Orient Queen ship was severely damaged by the blast.
The governor of Beirut has said that dozens of people were still missing, including many foreign workers. President Aoun promised a transparent investigation into the blast and at least 20 people have been arrested so far. Prime Minister Diab described the circumstances that led to the explosion as "unacceptable" but offered his government's resignation six days later.
However, he avoided taking responsibility for the blast and instead blamed the country's entrenched political elite. Mr Koraytem and the director general of Lebanese Customs, Badri Daher, said their warnings about the danger posed by the stored ammonium nitrate and calls for it to be removed were repeatedly ignored.
Documents circulated online appeared to show that customs officials sent letters to the judiciary seeking guidance at least six times from to But investigative journalist Riyad Qobaissi says these letters did not follow the right procedures and that customs officials simply kept resending the same letters in response to the judge's request for more information. The government has ordered officials at the port who oversaw the storage of the ammonium nitrate to be put under house arrest pending the completion of the investigation.
Lebanon's minister of public works, meanwhile, told Al Jazeera that he found out about the presence of ammonium nitrate in July and spoke to the port's general manager just two days before the explosion. However, President Aoun has so far rejected the possibility of any international investigation and has suggested that "external interference through a rocket or bomb or other act" could also have led to the blast.
Many Lebanese were unimpressed by the government's promises of transparency and accountability, and there were clashes between protesters and police. Predictably, a slew of cut-rate brands are flooding the market with shoddy scooters made from cheapo components. With these cheap batteries, a lot of things can cause fires. For one, the nature of a scooterboard—it can bang into stuff, smash into things at high speeds, and be abused by bros —makes the batteries susceptible to damage.
And when one of these batteries punctures, this is what happens:. View Iframe URL. Image it like this: The cathode is at one end of the battery, the anode at the other, and the separator is surprise! In either of those cases, the damage can cause a short circuit. When this happens, especially when the batteries are charged, a lot of heat is generated inside the cells and this leads to electrolyte boiling, the rupture of the cell casing, and then a significant fire.
That fire can build upon itself and be hard to contain. When things get hot, common cathode materials turn into additional oxygen sources, too. This is not new at all: Lithium-ion batteries have long led to explosions — in smartphones , laptops , airplanes , cars If he had only fought one Cobra, Snake will ask "Why did he explode? Although it is stated that the microbomb activates when the individual dies, The End's does not activate immediately should the player wait seven days for him to die of old age.
Instead, it detonates shortly after Snake discovers his body and walks away, with The End's parrot also escaping the blast moments beforehand. While the microbomb is designed to destroy the body and personal effects of the Cobra using it, for gameplay reasons a stamina kill still results in that member dropping their camouflage , or in the case of The End, his Mosin-Nagant tranquilizer rifle. She explodes in a manner similar to the rest of the Cobras, exclaiming her former codename of "The Joy" as she does so, much to Colonel Volgin 's confusion.
In the clip Diehard , Volgin himself explodes after he is launched into the air by Ocelot's motorcycle, suggesting that he may have also possessed a microbomb in this scene. Although microbombs themselves don't reappear in any other Metal Gear games, a similar function is seen with various cyborg enemies in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. A Codec call to Doktor explains that the cyborgs exploding are the result of a self-destruct protocol that would activate if they fell in battle, in order to prevent their slayer from gaining any important data from them.
Unlike the microbombs, however, the self-destruct sequence does not activate if they end up taken by surprise and ambushed.
