Take a tour of your local docks, lol. The incompetence and bribery that allowed that explosion to happen is the standard protocol in any port these days.

For the past year i been visiting ports in miami and ft lauderdale to try to get cargo through quarantine so i can sell it, most people have no idea what a god dam mess it is down there.

When someone sends a gigantic shipment of fertilizer with no paperwork all they can do is stick it in a warehouse

why would they spend money to truck it someplace? it has no value

Ports are one of the weakest links in existence. I'm shocked that the US hasn't had nuclear or biological material snuck in (maybe it's here, just hasn't been used yet).

The other ship-in-port explosion I think of is the Galveston Bay explosion:

Truly horrific. Non-nuclear of course, but my god.
