    Lebanese are the happiest depressed people you'll ever encounter. Problem is we love hope, that's why there's always a smile on our faces (not a fake one to be frank) even though with everything that's been going on we love life. Which is why losing hope means that we can no longer bear any more damage to our once wonderful and joyful Lebanon. 💔

    @@TequillanSunrise YES. the fall back to earth is only at freefall speeds, not 1000 m/s still. Common sense. Must be shot up into the air though, obviously. At the top of the arc it reaches 0 velocity. The fall back down is only going to reach terminal velocity at free fall speed. "All dropped objects experience constant acceleration - in other words, they go faster and faster, their speed constantly increasing, at a rate of just under 10 metres per second. But air resistance also increases the further the object has fallen. When air resistance matches gravity, the object will achieve "terminal velocity" - maximum speed, after which it no longer accelerates. At a weight of 7.12g, a 2p coin would in theory reach terminal velocity at just over 19km an hour, hardly fast enough to kill you. (The actual speed it would reach depends on a variety of factors, from humidity to air pressure.)"

    Bullets are engineered to have very low drag coefficients and are also spin stabilised (they spin when they exit the gun barrel). The spin reduces the chance of tumbling, which would slow down the bullet. This spin is also maintained throughout any ballistic scenario, even when pointing the gun straight upwards. The resulting terminal velocity from falling is usually enough to pierce human skin, so can definitely be lethal (although obviously not always). It's still much slower than the direct muzzle velocity, but still... Dangerous stuff.

He told me that if I had seen what Beirut and Lebanon looked like before the war, I would never stop crying because it was so beautiful and it was destroyed. I so appreciate that you take us places we'd probably never go to but please, please stay safe 🙏🏻 I know you do your research and you know what you're doing, but that made the Granny in me come out and it was scary.

    Many years ago I read a book of Mustansar Hussain Tarar, a well known Pakistani traveller about his journey of Beruit in 1975. He told same story as you have shown in this video. He wrote: A man came in a car, open the door of the car and started firing blindly without any reason. He was also laughing loudly during firing. Later on he was told that it was a routine work for him to come and fire blindly. It was like a hobby for him. May God bless the people of Lebanon! I am from Pakistan.🇵🇰

    Anna, you aren't middle eastern so of course it won't be seen as normal to you. I know safety is an issue but gunfires is mostly seen as a common celebration we have for holidays and things just wish it was done in isolation instead of sensitive places. At sea or on a mountain in the sky somewhat distantly away from people and cities.. etc. is a perfect place to shoot.
