Huge explosion has happened in Beirut and Sky News is in breaking news mode. Videos shows massive and extreme blasts like I have never seen before.

On CNN, the excellent Becky Anderson anchoring from Abu Dhabi and Ben Wedeman at the CNN offices in Beirut, which have had windows blown in.

Never seen an purported industrial explosion like that. CNNi has been quite good since this started. Ben Wedeman is an Lebanon expert having lived in the city for years. CNN is still being careful not to give a definitive cause.

Possibly a similar scale explosion as Flixborough in 1974?

At 46, I have never seen an explosion like this.

CNN US still not reporting! Pathetic!
