Also, if you look at the explosion as it happened, it happened UNDERGROUND... and everything just started to lift up.

I think that was just the shockwave. I don't think the ground came up.

Look frame to frame, you'll see what I mean... the shockwave is not originating from the explosion, but outside of the explosion radius. If that makes sense?

I see what you mean. It looks like fire comes out of the ground right before the explosive shockwave.

Weird.

EDIT: Twitter people from Lebanon claim they heard a jet before the first explosion (not the mushroom cloud one).

That is why I am saying it's an Ammo Depot, because the "fireworks depot" may be a cover, but I can't imagine one being so close to a hotel... or what was a hotel... if it was a hotel... of course safety isn't the same there as it is in the US.

My money's on the fuel bunker for the port, or a bomb that was being smuggled.

That makes sense, and this coincides with some Hezbollah fighters being found putting bombs under the Golan Heights. It very well may have been an air strike that created the initial explosion before the big explosion.

Do we know if any airplanes were in the jurisdiction? Also, if so, no one has claimed responsibility if it was a strike. All I know is my military friends have gone awfully quiet mid-conversation.

I don't know about the airplane angle, but I'm sure it was Israel if it was anybody.

Give it 24 hours, if they don't take credit, it wasn't.

I'm still leaning toward it being an accident.

Oh, I think it was an "accident" as in someone did something by "accident".

Latest official line is ‘ammonium nitrate’ that was being stored there.
