The explosion was in the port, basically next to the sea. Water in the video makes sense.Did the explosion cause a tsunami, and did the video end in some sort of water submersion? The video was taken from a fair distance, I can’t see it being anything other than fatal for all those people much closer, driving cars etc.
All the best, I feel absolutely terrible for you guysThe explosion was in the port, basically next to the sea. Water in the video makes sense.
Fireworks + 100 bombsThat can't be just fireworks, can it?
Ah hell, that's terrible news. I hope your family and friends are ok.Injured people removing dead bodies from under a destroyed building's rubble. Other people missing.
We're all good mate, just talked with Niko and Marc. They say hi and, I quote, "cut that vacation early and come play".Hope you, Niko, marko and your family and friends are safe mate.
Glad you're okay man, thoughts and prayers for Lebanon to pull through.We're all good mate, just talked with Niko and Marc. They say hi and, I quote, "cut that vacation early and come play".
Man, the after effect is unreal. That split second between the cloud forming and then the pressure hitting everything, unreal.Dashcam. Don't even know how one should react to this, feels like a scene out of a movie

I have read something that a building with fertilizer was nearby.Fireworks + 100 bombs
Still not sure its munitions.Who the feck stores fireworks next to munitions ffs?
While I hope the person who recorded the video is safe, it'd be a miracle if he comes out of it relatively unharmed
The first video is where my mom works.
Really? I'd say the most likely culprit is still an accident.If this is true then that certainly makes Israel the most suspected culprits...
Shucks man!! Didn't know you there! Glad to hear you family is safe!Man I almost shat my pants. Everyone in the family is safe so far
Where are you? My workplace is directly next to Burj Al Ghazel, all windows are shattered but thankfully we had all left work by that time.Horrific scenes all round. My office glass is all shattered, but thankfully the staff are ok.
the problem is hospitals in Beirut are damaged and there are hundreds of people in critical conditions in the emergency rooms.
I think anything concrete can only be found after proper investigation, certainly not this fast.Is it actually confirmed to have sourced from a fireworks factory, or is that still unverified at this point?

Sioufi... glad youre alright man. What a catastrophe.Where are you? My workplace is directly next to Burj Al Ghazel, all windows are shattered but thankfully we had all left work by that time.
Cheers. I literally only now just spotted it using that big white building (which looked to have been blew to pieces) as a reference. The area looks very industrial.
He’s probably fine if the video got uploaded.While I hope the person who recorded the video is safe, it'd be a miracle if he comes out of it relatively unharmed
