Also Israel hit Iranian-backed sites in Syria. And another huge fire at ‘industrial’ facility in Iran.

The video from the balcony shows a lot of the fire preceding the big explosion. Definitely looks like fireworks warehouse to me.

Rumor is a fire works container. Imagine a metal trailer packed with gunpowder.

Looks like a fire or some other activity preceded the explosion

A waterfront/port fire? I wonder if there were large nat gas containers in proximity.

This is why I don’t store gasoline in a confined space. ;)

Reminds me of this ammunition (SS John Burke) hit by a kamikaze off Okinawa...

See the hi-res footage here on YouTube)

I wonder how many people died?

In one of the videos you see a large high rise in the foreground completely disappear. Prayers for the dead.

Someone was asking how come so many people were videoing it, but it looks like there was a raging fire first before the big explosion.

Prayers up for all who were killed and horribly injured in that blast.

The term “massive explosion” is one of the most frequent forms of exaggeration. But not in this case. That was indeed a major KAA BOOM event.

That’s at least a ton of C4.

And bigger than what took down OKC.

Wow, that reminds me of the atomic bomb test that hit a group of target ships.

The explosion in Beirut seen from a better viewpoint, it might have been fireworks storage, you can hear and see what look like fireworks exploding before the big explosion

Or an ammo dump.

You can see a bunch of small stuff cooking off, then a fire, then a the big one!
