"This was a mostly peaceful set of explosions"

I initially thought it was too big to be weapons cache, but there appear in one video to be huge number of small, secondary explosions, flashes that don’t appear to be power lines coming down.
There are small and large caliber munitions exploding in there, IMO.
Major blast at the International airport of Beirut, Lebanon. Just a reminder - this is where Israel said that Hezbollah is having its weapon percision assembly line.

Looks very similar to this one, doesn’t it?
"This was a mostly peaceful set of explosions"
Definitely more ammo than the average FReeper.
It’s not at the airport. Clearly the port
Wow.
how would the camera man know what to look for?
Another smaller fire set off a huge propane tank next to large building which is now utterly destroyed.. NOT terrorism. Not stating as fact, but this is my guess.
Fireworks warehouse. You can see them going off before the big explosion
search Beirut Port Silos, near the harbor, on goggle maps...
Only speculation of course - Iranian shipment of arms to Hezbolla? Maybe someone has really good intelligence on what was on those ships. That ain’t a fireworks cache.
Cause it was exploding (smaller) for a time. Tinfoiler
it looks like 3 explosions.
the first is grey and white,
leading to the second with red (strontium? nitric acid?),
followed by the third which was something else.
I agee but you can see what appears to be fireworks going off in other videos.
wow, that red smoke is crazy. so it looks like there was a previous incident at the same location, right? which explains my earlier question about why the camera was trained on that area.
I could not imagine things like that happening here....
That red smoke seems like an unusual chemical component.
Rocket propellant?
Could be military ordnance stored near fireworks as cover.. Outside of nuclear detonation, that’s one of the nastiest shock waves I’ve ever seen.
