Makes sense. or some other industrial operation. Starts with a fire which leads to an explosion. A deliberate bomb wouldn't be like that.

Rumor has it, that was a arms depot for Hezbollah and the Israelis took notice

It was a warehouse on the docks.
Industrial accident for sure. Shipment of some bulk material that's not normally an explosive hazard, but you don't want a warehouse full of it on fire either.
I give good odds that the material is some nitrate.
Reminds me of a few similar incidents.

No way that was fireworks.It looks like a building behind the one that exploded is on fire before the blast.

That was no cherry bomb!
Hundreds injured in Beirut explosions so powerful they turned streets into wasteland (VIDEOS)
Huge explosions in the Lebanese capital Beirut have killed at least 10 people, local security and medical sources told Reuters. The blasts smashed buildings and turned the city’s streets into a debris-strewn wasteland.

Totally agree, anyone in the blast radius is now fertilizer

Those are not fireworks. Even a massive store of sodium nitrate does not burn that fast and would need an accelerator.
Something else was being stored there.

Don't buy that for a second.
That explosion was like kiloton yield size.
Not saying it's nuclear bit just to put into scale.

Hezbollah will not be getting their shipment of rockets this month!
This story has some pretty wild videos embedded in it

The author said it was a failed nuke. Not buying it, but if it is the sniffers will certainly pick it up.
Either way some of the first person video clips are crazy.
Massive explosion, mushroom cloud and shockwave.

It was a ship's contents of contraband being stored. Sodium nitrate AND fire works. There are clearly fireworks going off.

in the video from an apartment there are flashes in the initial fire before the explosion.
I’m guessing this is one of the biggest nonnuclear explosions ever in a population center.

A fire in a fireworks warehouse is just too perfect a cover for a secondary explosion. Want to set off a dirty bomb? What better way to disguise it than with a fire at a fireworks warehouse......
I think sniffers would have already detected a radioactive spike environmentally. The simplest explanation is usually the most plausible. Explosion in fireworks storage facility that also store some form of ammonium nitrate.
If so, absolutely poor judgment of what should be common sense.
