I wonder what happened. 

Some people are speculating that it may have been a warehouse full of fireworks that exploded. I don't think that anything is known for sure right now though.

Spoiler

 

Health Minister Hamad Hassan told local media that a ship carrying fireworks exploded in the port. Video footage lends weight to his explanation, as it shows a small explosion followed by the crackling of fireworks, before a second and massively destructive blast.

Local residents have shared images showing extensive damage to property. The office of the Daily Star newspaper was smashed by the blast, with windows blown out and furniture flung to the ground. France24 correspondent Leila Molana-Allen said that her apartment was “blown apart,” adding that she thinks the blast was caused by a “missile from a jet.”

Molana-Allen’s neighbors, she added, were left “covered in glass and blood.”

Wtf... didn’t know a firework explosion could react like that 

The first explosion definitely was fireworks. The second looks like what could be an actual bomb but it could be loads of fireworks materials we don't know.

Those videos gave me chills. I hope nobody was seriously injured or killed. :ohno:

Unfortunately from the videos I saw it leveled/blew the sides off several taller buildings
