It looks a lot like the Percon rocket fuel explosion in Nevada.

Looks like a peaceful protest to me.

I can’t imagine the pain of thousands of shards of glass falling on you

Holy fuck. That shockwave was insane. This looked like some of the war footage from the warmonger years under dubbya and obama.

i would guess it was an underwater denotation

reminds me of the footage from bikini atoll and other watery tests from the cold war.

I can see the similarities.

I saw something about stored nitrates used in making fertilizer exploding in a container but nothing concrete.

Other theories are hezbollah munition storages going up...but damn.

Based on other angles (I posted one above) I don’t think it’s underwater.

Yikes! That building right in front of the explosion. Can't tell if that was an occupied building or some kind of storage silo. It looks like the explosion went right through it. I'd be very surprised if only 10 are dead. This looks like something on a similar level as the Halifax explosion of 1917, or the Texas City explosion of 1947.

That's the main port of Beirut. Some "grain" silos there. Looks like two main unloading zones had initial fire/smaller explosions, reached the area next door where large explosion happened.
