1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning watching that footage over

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: and over again of that explosion in Beirute.

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 2: It's extraordinary how many cameras were on it.

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 3: These are the times we live in.

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 2: But how terrifying. I know that Donald Trump off the

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: bat said there's been an attack, when he or when

7
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 2: other people already knew by then it wasn't. It was

8
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: just irresponsible storage of Is it ammonium nit.

9
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 3: Trae medium NITRATEE. This was the same stuff that was

10
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 3: used as a precursor for the Oklahoma bombing back in

11
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 3: the nineties. So it's usually used for fertilizer, but the

12
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 3: mining industry uses it for ex places. Well, it's a

13
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 3: very versatile chemical and if stored properly it's okay. We've

14
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 3: got a big storage of it in Newcastle of ammonium night.

15
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 2: Like bigger stores than we're in.

16
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 3: There's more so that about fifteen times the amount of

17
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 3: ammonium nitrate that destroyed half of Bay Route. One guy said,

18
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 3: if it blew up in Newcastle, Sydney siders would say,

19
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 3: well what was that, and they'd say, well that was Newcastle.

20
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 3: It's that bad. We'd feel it here. Having said that,

21
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 3: I don't alarm anyone because the people that run the

22
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 3: anemonia nitrate business Ourica have said that they're under control

23
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 3: with it. They've spent a fortune making sure that it's

24
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: all secure over in Beirut that was unattended for six years. Wow,

25
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 3: ammonia nights two seven hundred tons of it. So you

26
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 3: just can't leave that stuff around. That's scared. So some

27
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 3: guys welding. Then you know, bang, Is that what happened? Yeah,

28
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 3: pretty much, Well that's what they're saying. The information is

29
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 3: trickling in at the moment. They not really one hundred

30
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 3: percent sure because Lebanon's in a lot of trouble financially.

31
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: A whole lot of strife financially, corrupt politicians, all sorts

32
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: of things, the pandemic and now this now wiped out

33
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 2: their port.

34
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 3: I know, absolutely make sure it brings everything to the

35
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 3: fore though. So it's good here our people over here

36
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: asking how the storage of ammonia nitrate will work out.

37
00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 3: So it's good that they're going to have a look

38
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: the stock bar is okay, We're okay.

39
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: And reassure us that it's not going to happen here.

40
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 3: No one wants to be living next to an atomic bomb.

41
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: Join the and Amanda in the morning, but at one

42
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: point seven tell you
