4K Ultra Slow Motion Footage of Beirut Blast

I'll leave this here for those wanting to see it in a great quality, slow motion video. All's I'm going to say on it after watching this video is that I'm glad the Lebanese are conducting a thorough investigation. Near the end of the video you get a really great view of the moment of the explosion and it seems to me that if it were a weapon, it is some sort of satellite based laser that hits that building.

Anyways, those are just my thoughts on it. It could very well be a trick of light, but to my eyes, it also looks a lot like something comes in from the upper left, a beam of light, right at the moment of detonation.

Also, good view of what I believe is the ammo cache popping off. You can see the hundreds of mini explosions as rounds or fireworks cook off. Although in my mind, if that is fireworks I would expect to see some showy displays coming from the building. Instead it's just singular points of light.

ETA:

There was a lot of criticism about my description of what I said looked like something coming into the frame before the explosion. Someone below posted a frame that clearly showed lens flare. And I'm not saying that it's not lens flare. I'm not a photographer. I don't know enough about it. However, I figured I would add these images to the OP to illustrate what I'm saying about something appearing to come into the frame before the explosion begins. I'll add in a few others as well throughout the initial flash of the explosion.

First frame is taken from just before the explosion. Note what appears to be a beam of light from the upper left.



Then we come to the frame someone posted below. Looks near the moment we begin to see a flash. Clearly lens flare in this frame.



One as the explosion begins to build. The flare is still there.



Here we can see that the flare is still visible even though we cannot see the fireball.



And here we can still see it even though the entire area is beginning to fill with smoke. The flare appears much brighter now.



Lens flare?
Could very well be. I was just noting that it looks like there was something in the frame before the explosion. And there was.

And moving on from the lens flare, we are left with the portion of the video that is purported to be a "fireworks factory."

I do not believe this is a fireworks factory. I brought this YouTube video over so folks can see what an actual fireworks factory looks like when it blows up.

I'll go ahead and drop this video in as well since some folks are still trying to insist that was a fireworks factory...

If that's the case, why are they finding tunnels under the blast site? Are they smuggling the fireworks out under ground?

Or let me guess, this is a fake video?
