Massive explosion in Beirut

And it was all caught on camera.

So far we don't know the cause, they are saying nothing points to terrorism.

Yup, and nearly 3,000 injured.

I'm already seeing conspiracy theories spreading about how this wasn't really a firecracker factory.

However, if you watch the footage you can clearly see the place on fire and you can see firecrackers going off before the explosion.

That’s a a big fat lie.

The port of Beruit is where Hezbolah operates. It’s very possible it was a cache of weapons

Did u watch the video? Looks like firecrackers going off before it explodes man.

A cache of weapons would probably have a similar effect though before the big explosion.

Now that I think about it, it's hard for me to imagine fireworks causing an explosion that big and damaging and Broly is right about Hezbolah operating there.

Maybe someone put thermite in there set off the fuse and legged it?
