Hmmmm .....OK food for thought .,.. I'm thinking but not completely convinced it was fireworks.  Maybe an alternate theory.  It did get ignited from a neighbouring fire but parts of it only got ignited initially that required the fire engineers to be called in to attend to the fire inside Silo 12.  Like it was not an immediate main event explosion that happened with the ammonium nitrate.  There were small fires inside the silo where the tonnes of ammonium nitrate were stored that preceded resulting in smaller explosions before the big one. Those smaller explosions could easily have sounded like fire crackers. I'm open to agreeing that maybe the ammonium nitrate did not combust in themselves - maybe there was something else that caught fire in the Silo first and started a chain reaction?

I also agree with @rudra we probably are never going to get to the truth of what really happened, unless the world demands an external investigation, and even then, maybe like that airplane that got shot down - was it in Ukraine near Russia - MH17? - or with the Kashoggi event in Turkey, we will only hear what the investigators think we need to hear, keeping the real truth away from us and only providing it to corrupt Government leaders who negotiate the truth for public consumption.  It's not only Lebanon leaders who are corrupt - they're just not as sophisticated at being corrupt as the world leaders of the "1st world".  

The ammonium nitrate wasn’t stored in silos, the silos had grain (they are on the large building NEXT to the warehouse that caught fire). So it for sure has nothing to do with the silos.

As for everyone insisting that it has nothing to do with fireworks, it’s literally a firework warehouse/factory that caught fire, what else would it be apart from the fireworks? Some basic common sense required here. Not to mention that it’s not only the sound, but also the visuals. If you pay attention at the timestamp I’ve posted above, you’d instantly understand my point. 

To add to that, many sources say the fire started off with the fireworks, so throwing in our own theories is quite unnecessary and outright misleading to those who aren’t as informed of the situation.

And to those saying it wad JUST the fireworks that caused the explosion. Hell to the no. 

The combustion of the fireworks started initially, then the ammonium nitrate accelerated that reaction and BOOM! Not to mention that it it was actually a firework factory (again, we dont know for sure if it was a factory or just a warehouse) then that also means they’ve got all sorts of raw explosive material on site to manufacture these fireworks. So not only was the combustion of the fireworks themselves accelerated by the ammonium nitrate, but also the combustion of the raw material used to make these fireworks.

As you can see, it’s BOTH the fireworks and ammonium nitrate that caused this. It’s not one of them. 

As for not getting to know the true answer, it’s actually not an issue with getting enough demand for an investigation, but an issue of the labanese corrupt government trying to hide that this was completely their fault. They are the ones that not only stored dangerous material next to a thriving city, but also had it improperly stored for 6 years straight.
