Video showing fires and what looks like smouldering collapsed buildings after the explosions. Not sure how far this is from the site of the blast but later in the video the buildings look more residential than industrial so I'm guessing this is not very close to the site of the blasts. Possibly fires started from falling debris.

As tragic as it sounds, perhaps. Ground zero looks like it was absolutely vaporized; all those dock workers had no chance.
It was around midnight so there were probably not that many of them I guess ?

damn this shit looks like armageddon
 
Who would favorite that?
Well, it's a quick reaction to a crisis, I guess. I dunno, I think martial law might help speed up the access to the site for rescue personnel by simply shoving everyone back into their houses as long as they're not burning. Plus, let's face it, the army is probably the only organisation with anywhere near the manpower, equipment and expertise required for this crisis.
 
I'm really concerned about the potential harmful chemicals that may have been distributed into the air after the explosion and subsequent fires. It's an industrial zone, so who knows what's currently being sublimated and breathed in by people in the area.

It looks like they have out of control fires all across the city
 
7 reported dead as of 30 minutes ago. Two explosions were recorded, the second explosion is the larger one. Good news is there are no major hazardous chemicals detected in the air so an environment fallout is unlikely.

That looks like it's straight out of Terminator's Skynet Future.

No way there is only 7 people dead.

Damn. The winds looks strong, I'd assume making the fire spread even faster and harder to control.

In the first video, you see the building in center get obliterated right before it jumps to the next video.
 
Holy shit at that explosion... Hope casualties and fatalities are low in numbers, though based on the video, I'm dreading the outcome.
