A ship carrying 20,000 tons of ammonium nitrate is currently floating uncontrolled of the coast of Norway. For context the 2020 Beirut explosion was caused by 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate

Why is it uncontrolled? Do they not have people for that?

Hmm we should do something about the manufacturing of that. Like… not.

Can you show the source of this information? The only thing I’ve seen is that it’s been turned away from a few ports.

Wow, that s super concerning! 20,000 tons is a massive amount, especially considering what happened in Beirut. Let s hope they can get that ship under control ASAP and avoid any potential disaster. Safety first! ️

Russia? They seem to get blamed for most things 😂

Would be terrifying to be an employee of the ship. Could a spark ignite the stuff? How dangerous is it to transport in general? It would be over so quick….

Somebody finds an old hand grenade in the basement, and 10 cops, a fire truck, and the bomb squad show up.
A ship that can flatten 3 states shows up and everybody yawns.

Sink it and suck it

Would there be a big environmental impact if they were ordered to dump the cargo at sea?

Compared to Beirut, this is like a sevenfold bomb floating near Norway. Incredibly alarming

They should take it to Beirut harbor and leave it there. What could go wrong??

Could it be safely guided to a port in Crimea where it can be safely moored?

The Beirut explosion also included several tons of ammunition and munitions too though, but still not good.

Thankfully ammonium nitrate doesn’t react with water so we can just sink it right?

How many kT it Gona make then? If it’s on middle of sea I assume it’s not that big deal than in central of city.
