That was my first thought when I saw it, but given the recent unrest I wouldn't discount terrorism just yet. Lebanon has suffered so much over the years. I really hope it was just an industrial accident and not a harbinger of things to come.

From some of the videos it looks like fireworks are going off in the cloud from the first explosion. There is also a video taken across a street from a burning building where what sounds and looks like firecrackers are exploding. You can see flashes through the smoke pouring through the windows. The second explosion occurs just as the volume of smoke pouring from the windows increases markedly.
There are also reports that Hezbollah had a missile factory in close vicinity.
