Beirut explosion destruction captured in drone footage

Aerial video captures the devastating impact of the explosion that left dozens dead and thousands injured in the Lebanese capital. The full scale of the blast is yet to be felt as rescue efforts continued the morning after the explosion flattened much of the city's port

Looks like a scene from apocalyptic movie, but it's actually happened

0:02 The remains of that building nearest to the explosion. It almost looks like rock formation from all the dust.

OMG!! 2020 plz show some mercy to us. We can't tolerate the pain. We can't imagine how another few months will go. Pray for lebanon.

It's unnerving that there still are cases of ammonium nitrate being badly stored, despite over 100 years of disasters. This will cause many people already in dire straits in Lebanon to lose their temper...

Stay strong Beirut. Love from Los Angeles

This is likely one of the biggest non-nuclear explosions of human history, thoughts go to the people and families affected :-/

Why is most of the drone footage focused on the city in the background? Get low and show us the area!

As bad as it is and the destruction is terrible look how close it was to all those buildings and heavily populated residential areas if the port had been built closer to the city i can't imagine how bad it would be.

Think it is best if you change the title to aftermass.

[zakattack]

Its like a movie. Its like someone went super saiyan and this is the aftermath. Its insane how such an explosion happened at a large city and seeing the aftermath. It just looks like a barren wasteland.

There would be other powerful explosive material in addition to ammonium nitrate stored in the docks - no question about it.
