Image taken by Dr. Pierre Malychef documenting the 1989 Dora Port Explosion and its aftermaths on March 30th 1989. For more information on the explosion, please go to: https://dark.society.systems/contribution/a-history-of-ammonia/ The photograph shows workers in a destitute hangar with a pressure-torn roof post-explosion. Similarly to Hangar 12, the hangar is filled with white sacks, akin to the ammonium nitrate sacks we all became familiar with in the last 3 years. A huge number of the sacks in the upper left part of the image are molten, due to the heat of the explosion.

A barrel of methylene chloride, also called dichloromethane, a volatile, colorless liquid with a chloroform-like odor. Methylene chloride is used in various industrial processes, in many different industries including paint stripping, pharmaceutical manufacturing, paint remover manufacturing, and metal cleaning and degreasing. The most common means of exposure to methylene chloride is inhalation and skin exposure. It is considered to be a potential occupational carcinogen.
Produced by Comochem International, the Italian division of Morton Thiokol company. The Morton Thiokol Chemical Company was an American corporation founded in 1929. It was concerned initially with rubber and related chemicals, and later with rocket and missile propulsion systems. We wonder if the Thiokol Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster that befell in January 28, 1986 – despite prior warnings from engineers – could be in one way or another related to this waste. For more information, please refer to: https://onlineethics.org/cases/ethical-decisions-morton-thiokol-and-space-shuttle-challenger-disaster-introduction.

According to the label, this barrel contained diphenylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate (MDI), a light yellow-colored solid. It is not soluble in water. It may be toxic by ingestion, inhalation, or skin absorption; acute (short-term) inhalation of high concentrations of MDI may cause sensitization and asthma in humans. If in a solution it may or may not burn depending on the nature of the material and/or the solvent. It is used to produce polyurethane foams.
The next picture (probably of the front label) indicates that the content of the barrel is related to polyurethanes, produced by the British chemical company, Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI). The barrel may be related to the toxic waste deal between the Italian mafia and the Lebanese Forces through its Italian division, Atlas Europol s.p.A. From 1982 till 1987, the chairman of the company was Sir John Harvey-Jones, a British naval commander during World War II and a naval intelligence specialist post-World War II, whose approach to the chemical business was focused on speed, more power into fewer hands, and high profit.
The barrel is rusted and has seashells growing on it, signs that it was submerged in seawater for a certain period of time.
The image was taken by Pierre Malychef in the late 1980s.

Blue gallon containing residual products from chemical industries as indicated by their label that also reads in Spanish "M.L.S.A. via Puerto Cabello", a town in Venezuela. We couldn’t find more information around the sources, and whether they were related to the Italian toxic waste trade brought to Lebanon through a deal between the Italian mafia and Lebanese Forces. The image was taken by Pierre Malychef in the late 1980s.
