Note how the red colored smoke only appears with the big explosion. Red color is said to be the result specifically from a chemical blast (in this case the ammonium nitrate).
Before that big explosion there was no red color to be seen. Now I'm no expert but this seems to suggest to me that the ammonium nitrate wasn't involved in the initial fire/smaller explosions.Clearer video of the massive secondary explosion in Beirut https://t.co/NCGQXJBtyz

That's what I'm thinking as well. First there was fire at fireworks storage then there was smaller explosion followed by the explosion of nitrate.
As it really may look like an accident still it can be well prepared sabotage. This single event excluded Lebanon from any conlfict wiith Israel for very long time. Now zionists can focuse on Syria and Iran...

Lebanon has placed Beirut port officials responsible for storage and security under house arrest pending an investigation into the deadly explosion. An emergency cabinet meeting took the decision today.
The Lebanese army will oversee the house arrests while the investigation continues.
Customs chief Badri Daher told LBCI TV that his agency had repeatedly called for the ammonium nitrate to be removed from the port, but "this did not happen, and we leave it to the experts to determine the reasons".

Indeed, wtf?
Since I live here in the NYC area, I can answer. The NYPD and other law enforcement agencies around the US and the world, are closely monitoring the Beirut blast for the following reasons:
1) Here in NYC, we have a large port. The Port of New York, Newark/Elizabeth, NJ. If such a thing can happen in the port of Beirut, maybe it can happen here. Same thing in other cities worldwide. Everyone has an interest in this.
2) If this was an accident we need to know exactly, precisely WHAT happened to make certain it doesn't happen here.
3) If, as I suspect, this was an ATTACK, we need to know BY WHOM. (I already suspect Israel because of its ongoing troubles against Hezbollah/Iran)
4) We need to know WHO because the same somebody, might try doing it in OUR ports.
Hope this helps.

It's possible US citizens were injured as well. Nevertheless, I would expect rather FBI involved.

Re: #58 - Main news thread - conflicts, terrorism, crisis from around the globe
Robert Baer, a former CIA operative with extensive experience in the Middle East, said videos of Tuesday's blast showed that while ammonium nitrate may have been present in the warehouse, he does not believe it was responsible for the massive explosion that ensued.
Initial reports blamed the blast on a major fire at a warehouse for firecrackers near the port, according to Lebanese state news agency NNA.
Lebanon's Prime Minister, Hassan Diab, later said that 2,750 metric tons of ammonium nitrate, a highly explosive material used in fertilizers and bombs, had been stored for six years at a port warehouse without safety measures, "endangering the safety of citizens," according to a statement.
Baer said he thinks that there were military munitions and propellants present. He speculated it could have been a weapons cache, but it's unclear who it belongs to.
"It was clearly a military explosive," he said. "It was not fertilizer like ammonium nitrate. I'm quite sure of that."
"You look at that orange ball (of fire), and it's clearly, like I said, a military explosive."
Baer noted that white powder seen in the videos of the incident before the major blast are likely an indicator that ammonium nitrate was present and burning. He also noticed a lot of munitions going off ahead of the larger explosion.
No evidence of an attack: Baer said while he believes the explosion does not look like solely ammonium nitrate, there's still no evidence that this was an attack. The government has blamed poor management and vowed to get to the bottom of it.
"It almost looks like an accident," he said. "It was incompetence, and maybe it was corruption, but the question is whether it was military explosives, who was it going to or why was it stored there?"
Baer isn't confident we'll ever know the truth.
"I've worked in Lebanon for years, and no one is going to want to admit they kept military explosives at the port. It's a stupid thing to do."
Investigation launched: Prime Minister Diab's account appeared to be backed by Lebanon's General Security chief Abbas Ibrahim, who said a "highly explosive material" had been confiscated years earlier and stored in the warehouse, just minutes' walk from Beirut's shopping and nightlife districts.
The Prime Minister has launched an investigation into the explosion, saying he "will not rest until we find those responsible for what happened, hold them accountable, and impose maximum punishment."
As yet, there is no clear evidence to suggest the source of the blast.

Ammonium nitrate that caused the devatastation of Beirut reportedly came to the country on a Moldovan ship owned by a Russian business and was heading from Georgia to Mozambique where Putin deployed mercenaries to fight a shadow war for gas resources
It's been given place as one of the headline stories on dailymail website. Check this headline, lol. - 'The Russian businessman whose cargo of ammonium nitrate blew up Beirut'

Following directives by HH the Amir and in support of the Lebanese people, #Qatar has sent its first plane with medical supplies to help treat those injured by yesterday's explosion. This will be followed by 3 more aircraft, carrying equipment for two complete field hospitals. pic.twitter.com/T0WmstUwwJ
