About :
The explosion at the port of Beirut, which occurred on August 4, 2020 in the capital of Lebanon, lasted a fraction of a second and was so devastating that it is still one of the most violent non-nuclear explosions ever recorded in history. On the day of the disaster, three years ago, about 220 people died and thousands were injured, with tragic damage to 50,000 homes, 178 schools and 9 hospitals. But what exactly happened on August 4, 2020 at the port of Beirut and what caused the explosion? In this video, we offer you a reconstruction of what happened, we analyze several images in slow motion from multiple angles and we explain some aspects that perhaps no one had pointed out to you. To explain the dynamics of the explosion and understand why it was so devastating, we need to take a step back, investigate the causes and reconstruct the events before the detonation. Let's begin. In the port of Beirut, where the explosion occurred, there were several warehouses among the various structures. Here, the explosion started right inside one of these warehouses, number 12, inside which there were 15 tons of fireworks, kerosene, hydrochloric acid and dozens of bags containing a total of about 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate. The ammonium nitrate is what blew everything up. The violent explosion was preceded by several things. At 6:08 pm on August 4, 2020, a fire broke out right near warehouse 12. This is evidenced by the many images filmed at that time that show, from different angles, a large column of smoke; at a later time, the second event, sparks can be seen in the images: they are fireworks. The fire would have caused the explosion of a part of the fireworks in warehouse no. 12. Only at this point would the terrible explosion at the port of Beirut have occurred. 00:00 What happened at the port of Beirut on August 4, 2020? 01:22 Where did the explosion occur? 02:14 The escalation that led to the explosion 02:34 The causes of the fire in shed no. 12 02:52 The images of the explosion from different angles 03:40 The analysis from a chemical point of view 04:08 Let's analyze the images of the Beirut explosion in slow motion 04:40 The shock wave generated by the violent detonation 05:28 The damage and consequences of the extent of the shock wave 06:08 The death toll and injuries of the explosion 06:44 What were 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate doing at the port? 07:12 How and when did the ship arrive in Beirut? 08:21 Why has it remained there in the port of the Lebanese capital since 2013?
