Edit: No way that isn't munitions...

I like the way you gizims leap to conclusions. Officially "fireworks"
I just did some scrolling and watched a lot of videos following the initial explosion leading to the big one, and there is all kinds of secondary explosions going on. There are a couple videos from right at ground level where the secondary explosions prior to the big one are plainly visible and audible. I'm just taking the leap that Lebanon doesn't store 10 years worth of fireworks in a warehouse next to the port...

For most people on social media history only started 10 years ago at the most.

Exactly.
There's no way you're getting black powder or anything on that order to make such a big bang unless you put it in something to constrain it. The explosion would blow the charge apart and it would be a big poof.
Edit: On second thought, I think I'm over-estimating the size of the explosion. It could be black powder or something similar.

I was kidding. Dont know shit about explosions. The one in Vegas a few years back was similar to the uninitiated . . . no one mentioned ordnance. Forensics will be definitive, right ? ie gunpowder vs some military formulation ? Easy call but a day or two for the media to divulge.
Story is stored for shipment on a cargo ship. Kind of makes sense since the huge wall of water. I have no idea how fireworks are contained when shipped. But that shockwave certainly looked like munitions to your point.

The big white building grain silos? That'll add some fuel to the fire depending on contents.

Lots of NOx in that initial smoke plume. Could be a few different things that do that.

Check out fire works factory explosions in the US. They are violent and send up a mushroom cloud just like the one on the video.
I was witness to one in Hallet OK in the 80s. All the factory personnel died instantly that day.

Or gives us a step-by-step of how everything actually happened. In the six months that led up to it.
edit - and how he would have done it better of course.

That was a big BOOM. Shockwave was impressive. It almost looks more like a BLEVE. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boilin...apor_explosion

My guess is those were Iranian “fireworks”, and it was no accident. Aloha snack bar

I probably did it wrong.

"Lebanon's Head of General Security says the blast was caused by a fire in a depot of highly explosive material, including Sodium nitrate, at Beirut's port. He said that material was confiscated from a ship months ago and stored there."
