Same stuff in OKC killed 168 people. They all came from different backgrounds and had different lives... yet in a place like Oklahoma City, everyone was connected in one way or another. It was truly tragic. One of the youngest victims, Bailey, just had her first birthday the day before. (Refer to viral picture of firefighter holding baby- that was Bailey, she was deceased by that point). Nothings been the same since April 19, 1995.

@@Mmm_ka The OKC explosion was somewhat similar, but a big difference is that in OKC, that was a bomb set off intentionally by a domestic terrorist (Timothy McVeigh). The Beirut blast was an accident caused by negligence by the improper storiage of large amounts of ammonium nitrate fertilizer. An explosion more similar to Beirut happened in the United States in 1947 when a large ship filled with 2,300 tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer caught fire at port in Texas City, Texas and eventually exploded.

There's no way anyone in the buildings or on the streets around could possibly have had a clue what was stored in the warehouse. I'd have been filming the fire too. I'm kind of amazed more people didn't die. That blast was unbelievable. A completely avoidable tragedy.

Considering the damage ammonium nitrate can do and the fact that is used in home made bombs, it needs to be more regulated or else banned. There’s been so many “accidents” with this chemical, to the point that it shouldn’t been considered accidental. Hope that makes sense.

Good sacrifice for good footage 😊

I watched live, 3 railcars of propane bleve. Nov 1979. Mississauga, Ontario Canada. You never forget the energy release in 2 seconds.

What hurts the most is that this could have been prevented. The authorities had known about the chemicals stored for a very long time. But as per usual in Beirut, the responsibilities were being bounced around, instead of being tackled head on… and a decision made about storage, removal or refusal to allow goods on Lebanese soil.

Wow how tough is that cyclist at 1:25?! Heading into the blast while lampposts are blown to the ground.

The moment of the explosion is so scary even from behind our phones.

For some perspective, it was felt in Cyprus, approximately 145 miles away from Beirut
