Huge explosion in Beirut

Apparently caused by customs storing 2750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate in the port, possibly next to a fireworks factory/storage area that was the first fire.

Other than historical footage of nuclear Bombs, never seen anything like this before, and it’s blown their port to bits, which is by far Lebanon’s main entry point for food & medicine.
