Look up the Texas City explosion in 1947. I think the fire at the dock could have set off a ship carrying fertilizer.

The second blast is in no way fireworks. Either chemical or god forbid a small nuclear device. Second attack at Harri residence during trial around exPM Harri’a murder per BBC.

Two explosions in different parts of the city. This is on purpose. Fact. Question is what armaments were used.

This makes more sense. Other chemicals ignited. It’s not just fireworks.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 47033834


In the close up video on Twitter, you can definitely see fireworks / ammo going off prior to the big explosion, so it looks like a fire in somewhere storing one of those things.

Does that completely rule out an attack, no, but it doesn't exactly prove that it is one.

Certainly not fireworks. Not enough firework in existence to do that kind of damage. Not to mention, the final blast is centralized and HUGE. Looks nuclear. MOAB would be a possibility if the bomb itself wasn't so damn big.
