Explosion!?
 

Just seen an explosion through the heavy rain in the west part of the harbor! Anybody have details? The light was immense for miles.

Yes!! The sky lit up like day for about 5 seconds and I dragged myself off the couch to see a huge fireball in the harbour. Very loud explosion heard too. My hopes are it was some sort of movie explosion but I am currently looking at many search lights in the harbour aimed at the sight I saw the explosion so something must be up. Hope it is not what I think it could be.

SCMP reports an explosion aboard a container ship off Yau Ma Tei. Ten firemen thrown into the sea by the blast, one still missing.

Metal waste and paper!! Wow
