My initial reaction on seeing the vast devastation and no dark clouds and the mushroom was that it was a sabotage or a terrorist attack.
It is strange that if this happened some years ago, there would have been many posts suggesting so, even of the nuclear kind. But so far on this thread there is no suggestion of conspiracy. It must be that the majority is correct this time, it is just an accident.
It's too soon to know, we haven't seen any phone footage from the period before and during the first explosion. My current working assumption is that there was no burning fire before the first explosion, because if there was, someone would probably have pointed a phone camera at it and we'd have seen the footage by now, maybe something will turn up yet.
I, for one, am quite suspicious that something fishy is going on. For one thing, I really don't think anyone would have a fireworks factory or any other kind of hazardous industry in the middle of a port.
