Beirut explosion: Diver captures moment of blast as seen from the water

A diver in the port of Beirut captured the massive August 4 explosion from the vantage point of the water.
Alaa Saad told Storyful he was sitting on a boat with his friends after diving when they noticed smoke rising from the port. It was minutes before the massive explosion hit the capital, killing at least 220 people and injuring more than 6,000.
“As soon as I saw the explosion, I never thought it would be one that’d destroy Beirut. I thought it was a show or a festival because I had never imagined that this kind of explosion would occur in my city,” Saad said.
Lebanon’s prime minister stepped down from his job Monday in the wake of the catastrophic explosion in Beirut that has triggered public outrage, saying he has come to the conclusion that corruption in the country is “bigger than the state.”
The move risks opening the way to dragged-out negotiations over a new Cabinet amid urgent calls for reform. It follows a weekend of anti-government protests after the explosion in Beirut’s port.

    Remember that the sound always comes after the blast. In fact the people only felt first the terrible shock wave then the sound. I don't know the speed of shock wave and the sound of the blast but being relatively near the harbour there was not much difference...

    For your info the speed of sound at 20 °C in air is about 343 metres per second or 1,235 km/h and a kilometre will take 2.9 seconds to travel. It depends strongly on temperature as well as the medium through which a sound wave is propagating...

    00:59, the compression wave of the explosion as it begins to go across the ground AND Up in the spherical shape of the explosion. the point where the two shock waves meet will pulverize concrete and steel.

    This is why daisy cutters and nuclear weapons are detonated in the air, and not on contact with the ground.

    Regina Ink & Toner not really, both are unfortunate but hiroshima is in a whole other level of devastation in comparison to the surface coverage area, damages, and how many people died and the aftermath. It’s like saying Pluto is the same size as Jupiter. what they have in common is that both are cause by humans therefore totally preventable.
