4K footage of Lebanon explosion shows Beirut Port blast unfolding in slow motion

The explosion in #Beirut’s port killed over 158 people, inured over 6,000, and displaced more than 300,000. New footage in 4K shows how it unfolded in slow motion, ravaging buildings as far as 10 km away and sparking mass anti-government protests.

    @@Val_Rhaven so it's not the heat it's the pressure... specifically the negative pressure that follows the high pressure of the initial wave. This is because air holds less water at lower pressures for a given temperature, so the lower pressure wave behind the high pressure blast is forcing the water out of the air. If you look closely, the destruction of the buildings is happening from the high pressure from the blast, and the vapor cone is following behind a few meters. In fact the vapor cone doesn't materialize until shortly after the explosion, because it needs a few milliseconds for the air to decompress following the explosion. You'll also notice that the camera is knocked off the window ledge before the vapor cone arrives at the lens.

    Hammerschlägen M you can kinda see, look at the bottom of the explosion and you’ll see the flashing lights. Those flashing lights (some even look like different colors) are the fireworks. The fireworks set off first because of a fire in the warehouse, then those firework explosions made the toxic and chemicals they had (stored next to the fireworks) blow up! I’ve read that it was an accident BUT they knew about the chemicals being stored improperly & didn’t do anything about it.. but basically from what I’ve read it was two explosions. First the fireworks in the warehouse (the gray cloud in the start of video) and then the chemicals reacting to the fireworks making an even bigger and deadlier explosion (the huge orange colored cloud). Hope this helps!

    This is probably one of the best videos of the explosion. Both pressure and seismic wave can be seen, even though it is close. Further away people had time to feel the seismic wave, think what was going on, and then experience the pressure wave. I am glad to have only felt the delay from a thunderstrike 1km from our house and not what these people were experiencing. Just as a advice: Stay away from windows and things that can turn in to shrapnel when you see a warehouse fire. A lot of the people filming these videos were like filming a speeding train while standing on the tracks without knowing what could happen.

He caught everything but as the shockwave approached he got blew on his a** and all the windows in his apartment blew out. It caught everything so much better.

Reports said that it felt like a small earthquake before the big boom. Is the pressure/sound traveling faster through the ground than the air?

Basically, the lower half of the shockwave sphere had stomped the ground already really hard making a massive crater and rattled the soil as it was all compressed up all around thus made the seismic wave travel faster than the speed of sound can do in the air resulting of it to come first in the device by banging the whole ground and also the building where that was recording the thing itself. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eH94qLRpdbzZiKg.html
