THE PAIN: Explosion that ravaged Beirut
The 4th August 2020 transformed the beautiful Beirut to a ghost town. The human race should not experience a disaster like experienced in Beirut ever. The book titled "PAIN: Explosion that ravaged Beirut" is written on this backdrop.
Though the fire, explosion, and
the shock waves from the massive blast that ripped the port city Beirut in
Lebanon is over; the trauma, mental shock, after effects, deaths, and injuries
resulted from the blast are painfully alive. People are in shock. The
investigation for the reasons for the blast must be underway but the first
information that the genesis of the blast is from the stored 2750 tons of
ammonium nitrate reminds a repeat of Texas incident on the 16th April 1947. The
photographs of the Beirut blast area are scary.
This book is written to make
everyone aware of the fertilizer Ammonium Nitrate (AN). This innocuous-looking
inorganic salt contains an enormous amount of gaseous and heat energy in it.
When initiated with electrical spark or fire it decomposes and explodes
violently. The material is however very useful as fertilizer as well as for
converting chemical energy into mechanical energy to do excavation in mines.
