Interesting. Is this an area of expertise for you? Can you elaborate on the “controlled” aspect of your comment?
BTW, the President of Lebanon says either an accident or a rocket attack of some type. Jet noise is heard on the video just before the explosion, but that may mean nothing.
Not sure about the exact technology. Updraft on steroids.
If you look carefully at the video’s you will see a vortex in the glowing body directly above the center of the blast area. It lingers quite a while with streaks of things that look like rockets, but much larger than “fireworks”. Then suddenly the 3rd explosion with huge water vapor burst.
If you look at the original cloud from the right angle it looks like a mushroom cloud, with a prefect circular shaped ring, as if emitted from a perfect hole or shaft.
This was not a spontaneous freak accident.

@COsweda the Beirut explosion was carefully controlled to avoid collateral damage.

Note term: deflagration
The 2nd is partially derived from the first discussion Both have a number of threads about this and related elements. The 2nd is less clear than the first.
I know the source on the first Twitter link. Have for a few years.
There is a lot of miss-information about what actually exploded. None of the pieces fit with what we are being told about it. The actual damage does not support it, nor does the action of the explosion itself.
