Saw this floating around on twitter. I've seen at least three different vids from different angles. Pretty crazy, I hope everyone in the area had already pooped that day.

This is pretty fucking wild.  I wonder what caused it.

Jesus, that was a massive explosion. Something smells fishy about that being the result of a fireworks storage explosion. Never seen fireworks do that lol

Now seeing it wasn’t a fireworks hanger but a weapons depot. Fire spread in a factory and spread to the weapons depot hanger  


^^I’m sure that story will change 10 times until the truth comes out

That would be a stock pile of Hezbollah rockets.

Yeah that big there is no way 25-50 aren’t killed. Awful and definitely fishy

It's probably a chemical explosion like China had a few years ago. 

Ammonium nitrate was the cause in that one. Wouldn't surprise me if it were something similar this go around.


I think the China one was way worse than this one, but it's hard to say. The Chinese one happened in the middle of the night and it was dark. They claimed 173 fatalities in theirs.

This video is pretty intense when the explosion happens.

The 2015 China one for comparison. Two explosions, one at ~0:18 and another at ~0:50.
