Video of the incident is on Youtube (looks like all of them are recorded off a TV screen): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMBEfa-5wbsAQABA, Jordan - Jordan's prime minister said Tuesday that he has instructed authorities to launch an investigation into the deadly blast the previous day at the Red Sea port of Aqaba that killed at least 13 people.
A crane loading chlorine tanks onto a ship on Monday dropped one of them, causing an explosion of toxic yellow smoke. Along with those killed, some 250 were sickened, authorities said.
