Lina Khatib, who leads the Middle East and North Africa Programmes at Chatham House in London, has questioned exactly why so much of a potentially explosive substance was being stored so close to residential neighbourhoods.
"Who needs 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate?" she asked. "It is known that this substance is used for making explosives and it is also known that Hezbollah, the Lebanese armed group, is often smuggling material like this into Lebanon through the port, so it is plausible that Hezbollah might have some sort of link to the ammonium nitrate that exploded at the port but, of course, it's too early to tell.
"But certainly this is not a normal circumstance. Lebanon's agriculture industry certainly had not been benefiting from tonnes of fertilizer sitting in a port for six years."
Yeah, other "sources" blame it on Putin...:

Ammonium nitrate that caused the devatastation of Beirut reportedly came to the country on a Moldovan ship owned by a Russian business and was heading from Georgia to Mozambique where Putin deployed mercenaries to fight a shadow war for gas resources
Other's say the shipment was meant for jihadists and was stopped in Lebanon:

The shipment of weapons, ammunition and explosives to Syria was facilitated by pro-Saudi political currents in the Lebanese government, which were stopped by pressure from Hezbollah and its allied Christian currents.

Re-upping this for all the conspiracy theorist out there.
The accident is not related to Hezbullah or Israel, it's criminal negligence on the behalf of several officials for the past 7 years. (Edit)

The crater is submerged to a diameter of 140m. pic.twitter.com/0xluycFK5U
The submerged area of the crater (which is probably slightly smaller than the full crater) is oblong due to the shape of the warehouse, but approximately 138x105m. The warehouse was 40m wide which means the crater extended roughly 30m to either side of the warehouse. pic.twitter.com/nFlrZWKB1g

I read some further details regarding the confiscated nitrate:
Moldovan ship Rhosus docked in Beirut due to technical issues in 2013/2014 (?). After inspection ship was not allowed to leave the port and the owner stopped communicating and simply left the ship there. Crew left the ship and, later, nitrate was moved to the Hangar 12 where it was stored till yesterday...

https://www.marinetraffic.com/cs/ais/details/ships/shipid:148409/mmsi:214181621/imo:8630344/vessel:RHOSUS
From 2014:
General cargo vessel RHOSUS called Beirut, Lebanon, in October last year.
Vessel loaded with ammonium nitrate was destined for another country, the reason she called Beirut is unclear, maybe for supplies or due to some mechanical trouble.
RHOSUS was detained after PSC inspection, which found a number of deficiencies. Since then vessel is stranded in Beirut. By now only four crew stay on board – Master (Russian nationality), Chief and Third Engineers and Bosun, all of them Ukrainians. Vessel was owned and operated by Mr. Grechushkin Igor, Russian citizen now Cyprus resident (last known manager Teto Shipping, Cyprus).
RHOSUS actually, is abandoned – owner doesn’t communicate, doesn’t pay salaries, doesn’t provide supplies. Owner of the cargo declared abandonment, too.
Beirut authorities don’t permit the remaining crew to leave the vessel and fly to home. The reason is obvious, port authorities don’t want to be left with abandoned vessel on their hands, loaded with dangerous cargo, explosives, in fact. Why don’t they want to arrest vessel with cargo, to release the crew and replace it with temporary local crew, is unclear.

Hasan Quraytem, head of the port: We stored the nitrate in ward 12 according to a court order and we knew they were dangerous but not to this degree.
Hmmm wtf. They didn't know 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate had the potential to be as dangerous as that?
I posted here yesterday, just from a rudimentary internet search, describing a catastrophic incident in Texas USA in 1947 of 581 deaths and the explosion felt 16 km away, and that was 'only' 2300 tons of ammonium nitrate...

The guy probably tires to save own skin. He tried to flee Lebanon few months ago already:
FYI all, he was planning to escape Lebanon few months ago and a court order came restraining him from leaving Lebanon.

Another source close to a port employee said a team that inspected the ammonium nitrate six months ago warned that if it was not moved it would "blow up all of Beirut". #Beirut

The highly explosive substance blamed for Tuesday's blast was meant to be moved, the port's general manager has told local broadcaster OTV.
Hassan Koraytem said the ammonium nitrate had been in the port for six years, following a court order.
But, despite instructions from the customs department and state secretary to move or export it, "nothing happened", he told the broadcaster.

Going back to one of the videos that was posted previously.
Note how the red colored smoke only appears with the big explosion. Red color is said to be the result specifically from a chemical blast (in this case the ammonium nitrate).
Before that big explosion there was no red color to be seen. Now I'm no expert but this seems to suggest to me that the ammonium nitrate wasn't involved in the initial fire/smaller explosions.
