Catastrophic blast and conflagration devastate Hamburg port's storage facility
A massive explosion tore through a warehouse in the Port of Hamburg, Germany, on July 15, 2017. The blast site was located on Müggenburger Straße in the Veddel district, causing several roads to be sealed off by the police.
Eyewitnesses reported hearing loud explosions echoing across Hamburg, followed by a raging fire and a fireball that reached the sky. The smoke from the fire was visible for miles across the city, and dramatic images of the city skyline covered in thick grey plumes were shared online.
Several people were injured due to the explosion, with shrapnel and debris being hurled from the blast site. Both directions of the A1 motorway have been closed due to the fire and the danger of flying metal fragments. Firefighters were called to the scene with multiple engines to battle the blaze.
