Thanks @mamazilli for getting us started on this one!
 
I think we are all too aware to buy the official line on situations any more, so lets dig!

It appears to have occured in a warehouse just to the right of the grain silos

"high-explosive material that was confiscated for years"

Is it usual to keep stuff like this at a port??

I know something like this happened nearby in Northern Cyprus Military zone Sep 12 2019 AND Evangelos Florakis Naval Base, Cyprus Jul 11 2011

Interesting article here deciphering if it is atomic or something else, concluding "ammunition and nitrate remain likely" https://www.forbes.com/sites/kelseyatherton/2020/08/04/think-halifax-not-hiroshima-for-beirut-explosion/

Think “Halifax” Not “Hiroshima” For Beirut Explosion

Mushroom clouds are iconically linked with nuclear explosions, but that is because mushroom clouds are a phenomenon that follows big explosions, and no nuclear detonation is small.

Not sure who Chris is, maybe someone can clarify if he is a bomb expert, anyhoo - this is a great video he posted showing the damage.

How awful for anyone nearby, RIP and thoughts to Lebanon right now https://twitter.com/ChrisPalmerNBA/status/1290725213110284289?s=20

Do you really store fireworks/explosives at a place like this? Near to the historical centre of Beirut that is 1000s of years old...

Ammonium nitrate is a fertilizer, which goes nicely with those grain silos

BUT it is also known to be highly explosive

Sooo... @mamazilli was thinking #DEW...

Directed Energy Weapon because of a flix @bigredwavenow posted a while back, which was about this technology from a ship

LOOK AT THE DELTA!

Notice the fireworks which was bad enough..

I wonder what the delta was between when this fire turned into explosion?

I note that the explosion looks slightly different to yesterday's in China, where lightening came from the sky and molten something sprays..

This is a gem of an informative tweet, which goes nicely with the freeze frames I posted https://twitter.com/quantian1/status/1290695231910875136?s=20

Well to them I guess it's just a fertilizer... did they store the fireworks near it?

Or is this a speedy cover up... as we often get hours after an event https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1290791122860531712?s=20

@realDonaldTrump just said that US Generals 'seem to think that it was an attack, a bomb of some kind'

And we know that he is transparent, so I trust his take on this developing situation

Thanks @ericarios73 for this:

Thanks @nanaof47 sent this, not sure of the source yet, but here we have a DEW which looks identical https://twitter.com/ReinboldSteve/status/1290816100431691776?s=19
