If it werent all over the news I'd be assuming these videos were fake.
Looks absolute mental.0 -
I wouldn't take the fireworks story at face value.6

You can see the fireworks going off but surely that wouldn't cause that massive explosion.
Meant to be some sort of verdict reached today regarding the murder of an ex PM over there or something, got to be connected surely0 -
I am no expert but that looks a bit more than fireworks on a boat going up.0

Looks more like an atomic bomb (which it obviously isnt) than fireworks! Some of the videos on fb are unbelievable0

This is a chemical/gas explosion... Clearly not the same again.

Second blast at the ‘hariri residence of the city’ Pretty much confirms this isn’t an accidental firework ship catching fire0

Never seen a firework explosion cause a mushroom cloud before!5

An Israeli military spokesman told the Guardian he would not comment on the blast.
indeed.2 -
Reuters has a live stream of the port: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfBPgjIWG3I&feature=emb_logo
The fact that things are still there is astounding. Perhaps it looked worse than it was. Truly terrifying stuff, the things of nightmares.0 -
Hope I'm right...this can only be an industrial accident (industrial chemicals). To be a deliberate act of that scale would involve military involvement of such a level that there would be immediate and clear intelligence.2

Someone just happened to be pointing their cell-phone video camera in exactly the right direction at exactly the time the explosion happened?3

I’m always suspicious when this kinda stuff happens, wonder if they’ll be a film made in 10 years time when the truth comes out, will be interesting to see if anything happens in the next 7 days ie if something does happen elsewhere you know it’s a retaliation, or maybe I’ve just watched too many episodes of spooks!0
