Firework factory ........ rubschin:
Looks more complicated than that
It's looking like an idiot welder set off a fire in a warehouse of idiotly stored fireworks that set off this idiotly stored cache of what might or may not have been fuel loaded Ammonium Nitrate that had been there 6 years since the idiotly managed Moldovan-flagged cargo ship MV Rhosus went to Beirut in distress. Did I mention 'idiotly'
And that big building next to the blast centre seems to have been Lebanon's main grain elevator, just great in a country already suffering severe food deprivation

Somewhere else in the world someone else is making idiot decisions on welding, fireworks storage and maybe even explosives storage - maybe somewhere near you dear reader facepalm:
