Attaching all of the videos I grabbed from this guys twitter just now as well, here's one of them:

Here are some links to other posts in the thread with more content, you may need to go to the posts directly to see the media:

Spoiler: Two videos

Couple more angles of the explosions, seems everyone in Beirut holds their phone vertically. Buckle up for a very delayed boom in the second video.

Spoiler: Another angle, 'Allahu Ackbar'

Here's a different angle. Notice how the guys recording it say "Allahu Akbar".

EDIT: Direct embed

Spoiler: Slow Motion explosion

Found this slowmo of the explosion in which you can see the fireball and airblast more clearly

Spoiler: Two more videos

There’s a radiation spike picked up near Italy/scicily. Let me try to archive this or take a screenshot

Spoiler: 2 Minute Compilation Video

I know that there are several vids on here but here's a 2+ minute concatenation of multiple angles and some security camera footage of blast sites.

Spoiler: 2,700 TONS of Ammonia

Translation: Preliminary security information talks about 2,700 tons of confiscated ammonia in the port exploded during the process of welding a small hole to prevent theft

You could see little blasts, but it looked like ammo cooking off.

That was in no way the low energy explosives that go into fireworks.

 

[Cypher]

There was no missile or there would be an explosion and then a fire not the other way around.

Found closer footage of the warehouse going off

...did that first video cut out because the explosion destroyed the glass on the camera lense?

This does look like fireworks here, but I seriously doubt that large explosion was caused by them: https://twitter.com/ConflictsW/status/1290681902781861888
Some speculate it was grain silo, but I have no idea why it would go boom like that

It was next to the silos. It must have been fertilizer shit. The area it was going off was in the port, so they must have had some nitrates and other Raw materials and shit for it to go off that big.

Grain silos are very explosive, but not like that. The dust floating in the air reaches a high enough density, spark, boom. Any powder works, really.

Fireworks fire nearby something explosive causing a grainery fire/explosion that sets off something military level explosive, though...

Grain, and especially grain dust, has tremendous destructive potential if it ignites, especially when it's stored in a confined space. It is very dangerous.

Looks like it caught a gas station in the blast radius too. I wonder if this was a runaway chain of events because that explosion looks like it’s measured in the kilotons. I wonder if it went “””fireworks factory””” (munitions depot) -> gas station -> grain/fertilizer storage -> gas/oil pipelines, and that’s how it achieved such a large blast

I don’t buy the ammo dump, because why the fuck would you store ammo in a fireworks house. It could’ve been a big ass Sodium Nitrate deposit.

Looks like someone got a killstreak!

That second video, holy shit. Up to the big boom it's pretty much what you'd expect from a fireworks fire. You can see the fire gain energy fast just before the big boom, it got into something oxydizing. The damage around the person shooting when the shockwave hit is impressive.

That is a retarded place to put a fireworks factory or warehouse. This is China tier stupidity. There are a lot of pictures of bloodied people, this is probably going to turn out bad.

 

[Cedric_Eff]

Could it had been a HTPB or PBAN explosion? Like in the PEPCON disaster?

 

[Superman93]

And you retards thought putting it all in one place is a good idea?

 

[Oh Long Johnson]

Don't we have a chemist kiwi? They should be able to tell what blew up from a spectrum of the light and the color of the smoke.

 

[1Tonka_Truck]

Grain, and especially grain dust, has tremendous destructive potential

Grain burns. It'll burn very hot, but no boom. Grain dust on the other hand, is a solid fueled thermobaric explosive.

Watch this loadout bin failure. They are lucky something ignited the dust as it was building up otherwise there would have been a boom instead of a fireball.

Given Arab intelligence, I believe this 100% than any other scenario
