    The Lebanese Health Minister, Hamad Hassan, says a ship carrying fireworks exploded in the Beirut Port.

        remember that the port and warehouse are also very close to fuel tanks and other raw material storage. so, even if it was just fireworks exploding, the damage to everything around it would only exacerbate that, im assuming.

          The reuters youtube livefeed shows how much damage it depends what time it was but it could kill like 50 to 100 workers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfBPgjIWG3I

            Maybe they had raw material onboard, but I've got no clue.
            You mean the warehouse to the left of the ship in this video? To me it seemed more like the explosion came from the ship.

            That "warehouse" is a bunch of grain silos, you can see it on google maps. Theres also an article about some regulations or something not being followed at the grain storage from a few years ago floating around.
