Terrible accident is the simplest explanation.
There’s a view from the side where you can see it’s a warehouse on fire and there’s a bunch of small fires and smoke and then it explodes. It wasn’t a sudden bombing.
This one LINK

Some video of the streets after LINK
This looks like a commercial area, so probably not immediately by the port (but who knows).
Assuming that's correct, just shows the reach of the damage.

Coming tomorrow: Gas prices spike $.25/gal due to unstable Middle East.

Just read report that a Chinese ship that was in the port carrying fireworks exploded.
Always the fricking Chinese.

Looked like a ship on fire from the video that showed the little explosions and fire, which I assume are what is leading people to assume fireworks.

Twitter blue check:

Possible causes of Beirut explosion:
• Firecrackers exploded due to large and negligible production ( Al Jazeera)
• The warehouse was stored with benzene ( Al Mayeeden)
• A Hezbollah missile store was targeted near the Beirut port (Al Hadath)

Twitter says it was a cargo ship full of fireworks
That actually makes sense. A steel ship full of fireworks is like a apocalyptic sparkler bomb.

Jesus I just saw footage from A MILE AWAY which showed trucks and cars upside down and crushed from the explosion. Some of these cars were standing up in the air held up only by the front the bumper.

Hmm, yea that could be a warehouse.

I wonder if there will be an HBO miniseries in 25 years.

That looks like NYC after 9/11.
