I’m sorry for the loss of life, but the live video is really cool.

And are they blaming Israel yet?

Looks almost exactly like the explosion of the SS John Burke in WWII after being struck by a kamikaze.



I doubt this was a "fireworks factory". More likely, an ammo dump.

That was well over 3k. I worked on bombing ranges for years, and I’ve never seen anything that large.

Based on the video of the explosion of the old ship, I agree with you. Great find.

The SS John Burke explosion above was probably in the order of 4,000 tons of ordinance as that was the carrying capacity of a liberty ship.

There must be hundreds of videos already posted on YouTube.

All I can say was that one massive explosion. Building a mile away had all their glass blown out (on both sides of the building).

The death toll is going to be much higher then the ten or so they already announced (certainly anyone withing the immediate area including the firemen that were fighting the first fire are all dead).

I saw one video from a car driving on the freeway when the explosion happen within seconds the car was turned over and the video stopped (I assumed they were not killed since the video got posted).

Fireworks warehouse = Terrorist arms warehouse. Parked right nest to a supposed fertilizer storage facility.

Yep. Any large petro/chemical plant explosion can be a major disaster.

SE Texas has had their share over the last 100 years or so.

Calling it now: 2500 dead, 25K injured. MINIMUM. And that is not including any potential toxic smoke — just initial blast related injuries. This is going to be worse than 9/11.
