Beirut: Anatomy of a lethal explosion - BBC News
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 сер 2020
- The explosion in a warehouse in Beirut ripped through a city known for both a heyday of glamour and a history of civil war.
Lebanese people are calling it their 9/11.
Starting with the epicentre, here we follow how the blast sent shock waves through Beirut, bringing life to a halt.
The Lebanese are famed for their resilience, rebuilding after 15 years of civil war, invasion and foreign occupation.
But this disaster comes on top of an unprecedented economic crisis - and the Covid-19 pandemic. Will the country ever be the same again?

Yo imagine having a child during a massive explosion, that’s one hell of a story the kid is gonna tell to his friends
He came into the World with a bang
Sam Schipman Ayyyyyyyyyy 👈👈
Boy: Hey Jimmy! What Happened When you were younger?
Jimmy: Its.....Complicated.....
Its explode
Baby Boomer
This could’ve been avoided. That’s what so infuriating.
Same thing is the case with corona, but because corrupt people are well, corrupt, they don’t take responsible in time which leads to devastating outcomes.
My heart goes out to the Lebanese people, they shouldn’t have to go through this especially in the circumstances they are facing
6 years was avoided,untill now in in 6 years was easy to avoided ? they could avoided now to.
SunBunz no my sweet innocent child! There was nothing going to stop this from happening....luciferian.....let me take you by the hand and walk you to a new beautiful place of ascention and spiritual destiny
@@lunam7249 could be STOP. if everyone know about this. But not everyone know about this. Not even people from Beirut.
Life I guess, probably the consequences of our actions
That bridal shoot is terrifying and beautiful at the same time.
Yes, marriage is terrifying. The bride is very beautiful. :P
_the marriage is terrifying._
_how are we gonna survive it?_
Uhhh

His face went from happy
to confused
to seriously concerned
Not only is Beirut facing it's worst economic crisis ever. They also have a government that completely neglected them for years and resigned. Now these people have little to no help rebuilding an entire city.... IN THE MIDDLE OF A GLOBAL PANDEMIC NON THE LESS. The sheer willpower and determination of these people are something that I will never be able to fathom.
This is why I pray to Jesus Christ. So far things have been good thanks to him, but I will pray to Beirut so Jesus will be there!!
Im from Lebanon and I know that there still is powerful corrupt politicians that did not resign and they are also responsible for the big explosion that happened in Beirut’s port. For example our president is corrupt the whole efin government is corrupt for many many years and till this exact second while I’m writing this comment money is being stolen from the people and no one is held accountable. The resignation of our PM Hassan Diab and the whole government with him was just a distraction for the public view now people think everyone resigned but the politicians that stole allot of money are still in power till this day. Talk about justice not being served whatsoever specially the victims that died the day of the explosion and their friends and family waiting for some kind of justice.
It’s makes me sick but as always we will prevail the people of Lebanon always have a smile on their faces wherever whatever is the circumstances I just hope we can rebuild this once beautiful country .
@@narata1541 God bless you
@Raniere We afford cars because most of us cannot afford to live in Beirut, so we drive cars from outside where it takes one 1-3 hours (depending on distance) to go and come back from work. where do we go back to? 20 and 30 year Old living in their parents house cz we can't rent our own. that's why we have cars (which most of the times belong to the whole family). if you calculate it as such, you'd see why making ends meet requires lots of sacrifices
I love the Lebanese people for their resilience, and I wish them strength.

It's messed up how so many people were getting married that day, only to have this disaster to occur on their best day.
It's just preparing them for what's ahead.
Especially that dudes wife who died trying to run away
It's so sad. Children were being brought into the world, people were starting lives together, people spending precious time with their families, then this happens. Absolutely devastating

David Kelly 100% agree
We are NOT the Paris of the Middle East! We are Beirut of the World!✨
It may not be a complement. But it sure comes with quite a bit of charm.
Yeah, pretty eurocentric viewpoint... But I guess it gives foreigners an idea of how the middle east view Beirut (as a romantic city)
Stay strong Beirut. This too shall pass.
From NYC.
💪
@Brian Cullen
Honestly Beirut is competing in a far larger league. The Mediterranean is a sea of diamonds. Each port is more beautiful than the last. But what’s sets Beirut apart is the contrast between the Ancient sites and geography is the rapid destruction of the port' and nearly area.
@@soundknight I think it's because it is a European viewpoint and used before globalization. It's a way to describe a beautiful and romantic town which is what Paris is famous for being. It's not a way to say it's better than Beirut.
My heart breaks for Lebanon. Life is just unpredictable
i think is a missile what caused the explosion😣
DAVID KARRIUIL how could it of been a missile if people were filming the fire before the explosion occurred, if someone had fired a missile it would of been caught on tape and seen falling from the sky
@@davidalejandro6034 Well its a good thing that you aren't in charge of anything because you're an idiot
This was not an accident. There’s a documentary about this being a staged explosion.
Actually they had many warnings. This was very predictable and could have been prevented. Alas corruption runs deep.
This is what happens with zero accountability for “officials” who care only about their power and pockets
These people have negelated us for years pit still don't care about us
this is one of the most disturbing things I've seen in my entire life
Primal Beast rather than pointing the blame why can’t we just feel sorry for the victims first?

Same, I feel so bad. It's so disturbing😭 I made an emotional video about the explosion countdown + destruction footage caught on camera on my channel. While editing I had to see these scenes of people over and over again, it made me traumatized. In memory of all the victims❤️🙏🙏
Have you seen the view of Nazi extermination camps at Liberation? I wish the decent secular Lebanese all the best.
Kudos to the Lebanese people for trying to rebuild their lives.

Devastating that his fiance died that way. I don't see how they would find anything left of anyone that close to the blast it would literally be evaporated which is a disturbing thought
It's not a nuclear explosion so there's not that kind of heat radiation that can evaporate a body.
@@skunkjobb good to know never to proud to learn helps us grow.
The shock-wave alone can cause so much internal damage. Outside they could look like they were sleeping, inside they are mush. Internal organs bursting, lung collapsing, heart fibrillating.
@@StaK_1980 Exactly. This even far exceed what a normal grenade and simultaneous gunshots could do to under normal circumstances. Chances of any survival basically 0%.
@@skunkjobbt obliterated concrete. Human bones wouldn't stand a chance, let alone the soft tissues in the rest of the body. They probably didn't find anything remaining of her amid all that rubble, and certainly not intact bones
the bride's look at 3:50 about put me in tears. I can't imagine a day of love and happiness going up in smoke in an instant
OK, so where's the anatomy of the explosion? This was about the aftermath. I didn't see any anatomy.
they are trying to copy the nytimes and failed
Physiology
It isn't clear to me that you understand what anatomy is supposed to mean in this context. That's ok. Not everybody's grasp of English is as nuanced as it could be.
Rob Ashton dude wtf? Don’t be so dense. Its clearly titled to seem like a scientific breakdown of the reaction causing the explosion, and then it showed something else. This response makes sense. Don’t be so quick to belittle others.
I was expecting a more scientific explanation myself. Like how the grain silos protected much of the NW part of the city, or why the ground shook before the shockwave, or why windows on the opposite sides of buildings blew out.
I just learned that there were firefighters who responded to the first explosion.
Thoughts and prayers to all people who survived.
they weren't told what was stored in the warehouse even though their supervisor knew.
In lebanon...the firefighters are volunteers...she didnt get paid to die !! That is what happens when you live in a country run by criminals
@Sohaib Colorado and 80 percent of fire fighters don't get paid from the government :(
The fire man is my couzin and he died hey was the first one help people and the first one died
And just to keep in mind that an atomic bomb explosion would be like 100 times worse...
It depends the nuke but example megaton class nuclear warhead would be thousands of times bigger than this.
Actually the blast was 2.75 kiltons. The Hiroshima bomb was 15 kilotons. That means that this was about 1/10 of the power of Hiroshima, so this was actually much worse
@@minecraftbuildswithiismxyz6408 how in the world is 15/2.75=1/10? Maths at its finest.
@@minecraftbuildswithiismxyz6408 The mass of ammonium nitrate was 2750 tons but that equates to "only" 1,2 kilotons of TNT which is the standard unit for comparing large explosions. Therefore you should not say that the blast was 2,75 kt, that's misleading but you're right that it was about 1/10 of the power of the Little Boy.
Cul Doode
Look up the Halifax disaster. Dec 6th, 1917. (In Canada)
A ship (Mont Bloc) was carrying thousands of tons of TNT, Benzine, and other explosives went off after a collision with another ship, the Imo.
Thousands died (right in the Halifax Harbor) and the blast was about 2.5 times bigger then this one.
Someone one far away caught the blast on a old camera.
It looked like a volcano erupted.
A 1000 pound chunk of the Mont Bloc’s anchor flew 2.25 miles one way, a 90 millimeter cannon flew over 3 miles the opposite direction.
It was the worst man made disaster in North America fatality wise till 9/11.
It was the largest man made explosion in human history till the bomb was dropped on Japan.
The 2nd largest Man made explosion during WW1 was deliberately set under enemy trenches.
Men fought under ground too. Setting charges, and even fighting pistol, fist, to shovel under ground.
3:16 Imagine being told that when you were born a huge explosion rocked the ground and caused death and devastation for miles
One of the darkest moments in this decade. So sad...
1st January 2020 was the worst day of my life. I had a gut feeling that this year, will not be an easy one!
well this decade just started so that's a low bar already.
this is so sad,prayers and thoughts are with the beurit people
Those are only useful when kids get killed by guns in the USA ? Or isn’t ?

@Are You Coherent only bot ppl dont know what happened. But you just listens to the media tell you what happened your a bot.

Different parts of the bomb were delivered over 6 years and then detonated at the right time.
These people have been through so much, and still they smile and go on pull through. God bless them, all these people.

Quite the opposite. This world needs a reset and massive war that will test every corrupt government and corporation and when the dust settles only the good men will remain
All this shit just shows me i gotta get to living in isolation quickly
@@AussieStandsWithRussia so you realise when governments fight they usually involve innocent people in the crossfire and send soldiers who in most occasions couldn't give a shit about the stupid arguments politicians make how would having a war cleanse the world It would just be a bloodbath but if u seriously want death to corrupt politicians then force the politicians to fight not the soldiers who don't deserve to die or kill others because some dumb people ordered them to
2:07 yeah that's actually true. i live in Cyprus, i remember that day, i personally didn't hear an explosion. but i was at a dinner table and 3/8 people said they heard an explosion. and 20 minutes later we found out the truth.
This is so terrifying. I am feel so bad about people who have lost the loved one. Rest in peace :(
It horrible to think that this Explosion is no were near as powerful as the bomb that the world has and that just one can cause so much pain and suffering
@c r bombs now are way more powerful than those dropped in Japan , they can destroy the whole planet
@@bernardtapie1092 No single bomb can destroy the whole planet. Yes you can with many, but so can you with many early nuclear weapons so what's your point?
I can already imadine terrorists hijacking ships full of oil and blowing them up near coastal cities. No need for nukes to cause chaos.
@@CAL1MBO You can't destroy the planet with all the bombs in existence. Maybe not even with all we could build. But it would cause a nuclear winter killing humans and most animals.
@@kacperwoch4368 Oil can't explode like this. I guess they could do it with ammonium nitrate, but ships are slow, you can intercept them if you find out.
Storing ammonium nitrate in vast quantities is such shoddy conditions was a disaster waiting to happen. The Oklahoma bombing was 2 tonnes of AN. This was 2750.
The Oslo bomb was 1 ton, the GBU-43/B MOAB "The Mother of all Bombs" app. 10 ton
Btw it’s estimated to be much less than 2750 if it was that much the whole of Beirut would look like the port
2,750 tons of Ammonium Nitrate is equivalent to 1,155 tons of TNT. As Nalle said the GBU-43 "MOAB" (Massive Ordinance Air Blast) dropped in Afghanistan in 2017 (by USA) was equivalent to "only" 11 tons of TNT.
For reference the Hiroshima atomic bomb "Little Boy" dropped at the end of WW2 was equivalent to approximately 15,000 tons of TNT. Basically Hiroshima bomb = 15 Kilo tons TNT vs. Beirut explosion = 1.2 Kilo tons TNT.
lairdriver it was planned by the officals and nothing else
In my country they just investigate now that we also have some 8 large deposits of this shit countrywide close to urban areas. I suggest you go after the topic in your country where ever you are
I know im late but this is terrible i wish you best of luck You are the Best and im sorry to those families of the dead and to those That survived i wish you Quick recovery

I was there when the explosion happened. I saw the aftermath. And spoke with the locals. When I asked them how is it possible to have dangerous chemicals so close to the center of city and stored improperly like that they all answer the same "Corruption, if you pay to the right people in government you can get permission to do anything". They still got railroads department and don't have a single train for the last 50years. All the help sent to Lebanese people trough their government is redirected else. Politicians divided the Lebanese people into small groups by ethnicity, by religion and by class and apply divide and conquer.
What stops the people from voting out all corrupt officials and replacing them with respectable people? Do they have fair democratic elections?
I know the terrorist group Hezbollah has a massive role in Lebanese government - Why? I can’t help but wonder if the problem is the people support these religious extremists?
Honestly to me this is a story of how harmful religion is to mankind. Irrational, false, arbitrary, unquestioned emotionally charged beliefs inevitably lead to poor decisions. How many wars have been fought in history “in the name of god”? How many in the name of atheism?

Yes, thank you, corrected.
i cant imagine a person having their birthday expecting everything will be alright but this happened.. its heartbreaking
Speed of sound is much faster in the ground than in air, which is why the ground shook before the air shockwave hit
The shockwave travels faster through the ground than through the air you mean.
I'm not sure about the ground shock-wave, but I read that the air shock-wave was traveling approximately 6 times the speed of sound (mach 6). This is basically 2,000 meters per second or about 4,500 mph. No wonder people had no time to get away or take cover.
Sound normally travels through the air 340 meters per second (760 mph) at sea level at 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Sound travels through the water about 1,500 meters/second and through a solid about 5,000 meters/second.
I did read that even though most of the explosive force was above ground, it still generated seismic waves equivalent to a magnitude 3.3 earthquake.
Very interesting! Thanks
that damaged car that was still driving has a mind of its own
It's really great to see people are comming together and helping each other. Keep up your sprite, you will prevail
5:01 this hero was still helping after his accident in his pants I respect him soo much
I noticed that too
Stand up and Stay strong beautiful people of Beirut. You are amazons, you are beasts, you are warriors. You will get through this. My prayers and love for all of you 🙏❤️
My heart aches for the people of Beirut. As long as there's unity among its people, there is hope.
Are we gonna ignore the fact that they monetized this youtube video even though its about disaster and unfortunate events
Yes, humans like to ignore.

Please, BBC, talk about Belarus more often! Innocent people are being beaten, killed, and the population is being subjected to genocide! The world should know about this! Peaceful people need help!
oh, never knew this and never heard about it till now i guess they talked about it an hour ago
They will use "news" like this to hide whats happening elsewhere
@@frankmcnally01 How is this not "news" + there's a ton of news reports convering the Belarus protests
I had to find out about it on reddit
I am a Saudi girl and I love Christ, the Jews and all religions, because in my opinion a person’s morals and respect for your religion is the most important thing. 🗣💕🌸🕊🤝.
Your a beautiful person.
WHITE NUKE Thank you
@@ART-gr9zn That's very nice of you but how is it related to a Lebanese industrial accident?
A potato This is just a positive comment 🗣
Shahd_ artist you are beautiful and so innocent.....you should study “luciferian”
Wow that is some of the most scarcest video's of that moment, and the tragedy that is realized and only started to understand.
Excellent Video! Puts things (Areas) in perspective!
So sorry 😭😭
That baby is the Chosen One. He was born out of an impact and will... create an impact.
If there is anything "good" to come out of this is just how LOW the death toll was. When I saw news break of the explosion I was expecting tolls in the hundreds or thousands.
My thoughts go out to everyone in Lebanon, fight for the government you deserve!
Hats off to the Lebanese people who are working together to rebuild the city and continuing to stay strong
They have no money to build buildings no place to live and eat I feel very sad for them:(
All people who lost their houses were welcomed in houses of people all over lebanon.
This is Lebanon♥️.
