Looking at a whole series of #BandarAbbas explosion videos to help some journalists I know. Appalling stuff (but I have to confess that the details of the dynamics are morbidly and disturbingly fascinating). The poor dock workers. Horrific.

Drone footage shows utter devastation of the #Bandarabbas container storage area and a huge crater. The thought of what happened to the poor guys who were in the pre-detonation footage makes me sick with grief. Industrial accidents don’t get much worse than this, but there is a lot of speculation that it might not have been just bad luck. Not something I can comment on but it’s a grim thought when you ask cui bono. Multi-layered and complex.

Will be talking to BBC Persian later.
