Looks like an explosion in Beirut in the warehouses by the docks. https://twitter.com/nabihbulos/status/1290662401399033856">https://twitter.com/nabihbulo...
Considering the location, could just be an industrial accident.
Looks like whatever it was, was massive.
Anyone know if ammunition is stored in those warehouses? https://twitter.com/Beltrew/status/1290667003393474561?s=20">https://twitter.com/Beltrew/s...

Absolutely gigantic explosion in the middle of a massive city. This is bad. https://twitter.com/timourazhari/status/1290666778255908866?s=20">https://twitter.com/timourazh...
This is damage in a building about 1.5 km from the site of the fire and presumably the explosion. https://twitter.com/ElLiberalDiario/status/1290668424964775938?s=20">https://twitter.com/ElLiberal...
Unless the Daily Star have a second set of offices in Beirut, here& #39;s the location of that office block in relation to the fire/explosion.

I& #39;ve seen multiple reports of a second explosion loc, but all multimedia I& #39;ve seen only show a fire then vast explosion on docks at 33.901404, 35.518764.
Tho whatever was stored there (explosives, fireworks, ammo) could have been thrown around Beirut. https://twitter.com/Joyce_Karam/status/1290669651282796545?s=20">https://twitter.com/Joyce_Kar...

Clearest video I& #39;ve seen so far, filmed from the south.
You can see smaller detonations beforehand, (possibly fireworks or ammo?), and then buildings literally disintegrate before the blast. I very much hope people managed to find cover. https://twitter.com/borzou/status/1290675854767513600?s=20">https://twitter.com/borzou/st...

What looks to be a possible earlier video, filmed before the huge blast. Again, note the sparkling within the cloud. https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1290676318871445505?s=20">https://twitter.com/discloset...
Also seeing reports that this was from a ship, but all the videos I& #39;ve seen appear to show the explosion having taken place on land.
Epicenter of the largest blast seems to be in this warehouse at 33.901384, 35.518959.
AJ have multiple streams on the aftermath. Looks very bad. https://twitter.com/AJArabic/status/1290675740069867521">https://twitter.com/AJArabic/...
There are going to be a lot of injuries from flying glass as people went to watch the fire and then got caught in the explosion. Clearly a mass casualty event. https://twitter.com/GebeilyM/status/1290682987894525955?s=20">https://twitter.com/GebeilyM/...
