Exactly. If it was nuclear there wouldn’t be any cell phone videos to watch. Unless it was a live stream, then you’d have something right up to the moment.

Not nuclear. That’s idiotically pipsqueak compared to nuclear. There was something on fire and some kind of chemical or vapor explosion resulting from it.

Just because it’s a ‘mushroom’ shaped cloud does not necessarily mean nuclear. Large conventional explosives create that shape as well.................

That was a funny/quirky little series.

It would be neat edited into a funny/quirky movie

Not nuke - other videos on Twitter shows a series of small explosions prior to the big one. Probably a ‘hospital’ or a ‘mosque’ there or something, since they don’t have weapons depots.

Also, if nuke, we wouldn’t be seeing videos, as they’d be in the One Second After scenario.

WTF? Nuclear? People will come up with anything to get attention.

Even if that was a tiny nuclear explosion, half the city would be GONE.

A fuel air bomb requires an air drop. Did anyone see a plane?

firecracker factory.


That seems to be the cover story, I don’t believe it.

Assuming it was not intentional, big assumption given the location, but assuming it is an accident, what kind of accident could cause the explosion?

One, a dust explosion. Grain elevators explode but a more common one would be fumes from fuel from a tanker that has not been properly vented.

Wasn’t... This was a ground burst. Longer videos show a fire started, there were sparks flying off it. Either ammo cooking off or fireworks igniting. Then something big cooked off and the whole thing blew out.

My money is on a shipment of fireworks/ammo/powder coming in and was either accidentally, or on purpose, set on fire.

Why bomb something if there is already something there that will go boom?

Port area, warehouses loaded with explosives, and smaller explosions like fireworks preceding the BIG BOOM. Anything nuclear would have put out a blinding flash of light and enough heat to melt glass and eyeballs.

I'd attribute it to careless warehouse workers, now only existing as vapor.
