Scotch as in the tape, not the whisky
The rain would quickly render it useless as an explosive, and if it was inside a container the metal would shield it
and even then, ammonium nitrate is just an oxidiser, (in layman’s terms, it makes already flammable stuff burn faster when ignited, so fast that in some cases it detonates), and without fuel it can’t do anything on it’s own
Ammonium nitrate isn’t dangerous.
It’s not gunpowder, it’s not rocket propellant, it’s not liquified natural gas
you need extreme heat and fuel to make it detonate, in the Beirut case that was given by nearby stored fireworks, but otherwise it’s pretty safe to use, you can blast it with a blowtorch and it doesn’t even burn
The misconception of it being explosive comes from the fact that people buy it as fertilizer and then use it to make bombs by mixing it with fuel and other primary and secondary explosives (or just to have some fun with homemade gunpowder), and even then, usually you use potassium nitrate, a derivative of ammonium nitrate, because the ammonium nitrate is just so goddamn hard to detonate
Now, should they accept the ship? I don’t know, as far as I know Russia’s regulations might as well allow storage of ammonium nitrate inside the ship’s fuel tanks, but some simple checks would mitigate 99.99999% of risks.
That said, it’s still Russia and we shouldn’t be giving it money anyways, but I’m not gonna get into politics here
still scary AF
ok slightly unrelated but the satellite pictures have an insane resolution for having been taken from, you know, space
Just imagine what the government has if that’s what’s available commercially to the public

it’s not rage bait, I’ve seen it happen plenty of times
time to see if countries have learned their lesson or if we’ll have another fucked up generation

after reading all the comments I still have no idea what the hell crowdstrike is
yup, just waiting to go past the tipping point where we’ll be so poor nobody’s going to buy products anymore causing a vicious circle
