There are reports this was a fireworks factory

Fireworks are a low explosive
That blast seems more like high explosives

But it could be a contained blast of the raw materials

Pretty suspicious to me https://twitter.com/Joyce_Karam/status/1290673604087209990">https://twitter.com/Joyce_Kar...

1st blast
Has flash powder explosions going on, which could be the fireworks factory

2nd blast is HE or very contained large blast of low explosives

Bomb factory a possibility
Grain elevators as secondary explosion also possible

I slowed it down & added stills
After looking closely
This appears to be clearly fireworks at the start
Moving along the warehouse gaining steam
Then hitting a critical temp or a large stash of raw materials
&
The whole thing blows

Prayers for the victims
