The larger explosion, at 6:08 p.m , blew out the glass from balconies and windows of buildings several miles away from the port.
Video posted online showed a shock wave erupting from the second explosion, knocking people down and enveloping much of the center city in a cloud of dust and smoke, cars were overturned and streets were blocked by debris, forcing many injured people to walk to hospitals.
Flams continued to rise from the rubble well after the explosions , and a cloud of smoke , tinted pink in the sunset, rose thousands of feet into the sky .
