Beirut Blasts: 100 killed, 4,000 injured
The 19-second video shows a bride posing in her wedding attire with flowers in her hand. As the camera pans down, everything gets shaky and an explosion is heard in the background. Immediately, the camera shifts to the glass windows which appear broken. The bride and other people are seen running haphazardly for safety.
Completely shaken by the video, people took over to the comment section. While few blame the year 2020 for being so ruthless, others just call the blast an 'horrific nightmare. The video has 2.6M views and has managed to gather 165 likes and 72 Retweets and comments.
This horrendous video was a result of the colossal explosion that rocked the Lebanese capital Beirut on August 4 killing over 100 and injuring over four thousand people. In the aftermath of the explosion, major downtown streets were reportedly seen littered with debris, damaged vehicles and building facades. Photographs of destruction soon started circulating online.
Not only people and world leaders took to social media to offer condolences to those affected but also offered material help. The list was joined by the Dubai’s iconic building Burj Khalifa whose twitter handle posted a photograph of the skyscraper lit in solidarity. The photograph showed the building lit up showcasing the flag of Lebanon. In the caption, which was written both in Arabic and English, the handle wrote that building had lit up in “solidarity with brothers and sisters” in Lebanon.
