Ex-NSC spokesman Michael Anton describes Beirut explosion as 'accident waiting to happen' - Fox News

If Tuesday's massive explosion in Beirut was an accident -- as authorities claim --- "it was an accident waiting to happen," former Trump national security spokesman Michael Anton told "Bill Hemmer Reports" Wednesday.

Anton told guest host John Roberts the substance which ignited to cause the powerful blast was ammonium nitrate -- a key component of agricultural fertilizer that had been stored in a warehouse at Beirut's port since 2013, when it was offloaded from a Russian-leased ship that had made an unscheduled stop there.
