I have no doubt many people died in this, and sadly, too, many people were horribly injured.

Burns and flying glass shards and shrapnel from any metal are awful.

I read further on Twitter, that the large explosion came when a nearby nitrate factory cooked off.

Thanks for the live link.

It reminds me of the aftermath of 9/11.

There are twitter posts now showing the port area littered with dead. Reminds me of the remains at Pompeii.

My pleasure. It could get worse before it gets even worse.

Uh-oh.

On the waterfront?

Looks like SOMEBODY just lost some WEAPONS in a TRAGIC BOATING ACCIDENT!

There was already a fire there; check around, you can see the fire burning on a number of different Twitter videos.

Speaking of aerosolized, it almost looks like grain silos or something the next building over.

Saw it!

That was huge. Looks like a gas explosion underneath - but I could be wrong.

Damascus next?

The large white structure next to the original fire looks like a grain store and it appears it is that that fueled the third and final (and largest) blast.

News reports are saying it was a firecracker factory.

That’ll do it.

Wow, that's good one, too bad (though understandable) that the person with the camera dropped and covered.

Exactly!

It looks to me like the warehouse fire caused the huge grain elevator to explode. They are notorious for the massive power contained in the floating dust inside.

The building next to it almost resembles a grain elevator.
