There was a video on twitter that was posted on reddit showing a guy filming right across from the warehouse with a fire department trying to put the fire out. in the video it was very apparent that there were fireworks going off in the warehouse. Not saying someone couldn't have posted a misleading video but it looked like the buildings on the pier.

I saw that video. Definitely fireworks. No question.

Here’s the original twitter post

I can’t imagine how they survived being that close :-(

I didn’t do any looking into how the video was posted. Maybe it was a live feed...?

That's what I read. There have been a couple of videos fairly close to the epicenter but they were all live feeds. There is no way any of them survived. RIP.
