Lebanese fireworks warehouse.
What could go wrong ?
To: struggle
It’s always wise to store an explosives warehouse next to residential high rises.

Yes. I posted it mostly because there were already a lot of good comments there, and good links.

Did not look like a black powder explosion to me. Centex?

Hella shock wave.
Must have been a million pounds of black powder.
Ammunition/explosives warehouse, my guess.

Looked like a a daisy cutter or MOAB. From the video there was alot of smoke before the earth shattering kaboom. So it could have been an HE burn before the detonation. A lot of explosives in one place. It didn’t look like black powder or fireworks to me.

Their government is calling it a warehouse full of “fireworks” that blew up then possibly igniting a container of “fertilizer” in the secondary boom.
Just... total BS.

I’m no expert but that doesn’t look like fireworks. Most likely rocket fuel, ordnance, etc.

Just... total BS. Sure, silos of fertilizer next to fireworks storage warehouse.
To: k4gypsyrose
It blew up good. Yeah it blew up REAL good!

Quote from the link. I like the CNN part.
“Many buildings were damaged by the explosion, including the headquarters of former Prime Minister Saad Hariri and CNN’s bureau in the city.”
