Yeah, the problem with telling people that there is a great big ship full of explosives on fire & about to explode in the harbor IS THAT STUPID THING INSIDE OF ALL OF US THAT SAYS "Hey, let's go watch this ship explode!" Instead of maybe trying to get as far away as possible, people tend to want to see what all the fuss is about. When they should listen to what they're being told & try to find a safe place away from the harbor. I had always heard that the ship was full of "fertilizer" commonly known as ammonia nitrate and because of the colision it began leaking diesel fuel into the cargo hold. And that the ship was not maneuverable & had caught fire. And it seems that I remember that from some documentary that was on TV. But since then I've really begun to question ALMOST ALL FACTS I've heard in documentaries over the span of my lifetime. Leaving me to search for the real truths in the things I thought I already knew. And a ship full of ammonia nitrate & diesel fuel probably could set off such an incredible explosion! What gets me is that 1800 people died from that explosion with all kinds of people trying to warn them about the danger. And instead of being sensible and trying to get somewhere to relative safety they instead decide "Well, we should be far enough away that if it does explode it won't hurt us here? I guess that with 1800 dead a lot of people were wrong about being far enough away. Not realizing that the ship was the largest floating pipe bomb of all time!
