One of the videos shows the shock wave hitting a distant observer some 20-30 seconds after the explosion....that's not fireworks...

And BTW, interesting that multiple people seemed to be recording/streaming focused on that specific location? I guess the initial fire or whatever...

But that was a MASSIVE....ONE TIME explosion...not a bunch of different explosions going off (such as with multiple munitions)...

That was ONE THING at the end there...wonder what that one thing was...
