Usually not great to see colors in explosions, except for fireworks.

But the red could just be a lot or iron oxides, like what one would find in a shipyard, and paints.

Impressive torus of shocked atmosphere.

Yes because fire started much before explosion. You don't seem smart Karen.
Barely before the explosion, Kevin. Look at the start of the last video.

Putting "Beirut explosion" returned dozens of results dating back decades but I'm sure this one is just an accident at the fireworks factory and this one was just an explosion at a perfume factory:
which had nothing to do with this one in the next country over:
or this one:

It's just factory explosion season in the Levant.

This is the coolest thing I've seen today

I would have loved to see the mines in the Battle of Messines or the bomb at the Battle of the Crater; I think this must be close

Non-nuclear explosions on the megaton scale are probably the coolest thing on earth

They seem to be all over Beirut:

This time, the Party of God is not blaming Israel. Sunnis instead?
