Скачать или смотреть POV: Your time machine breaks in Beirut, Lebanon — August 2020

On August 4, 2020, at 6:08 PM, Beirut was torn apart in seconds. A massive explosion shook the city to its core. 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate, stored recklessly at the port for years, ignited—triggering one of the most powerful blasts in modern history.

The shockwave flattened buildings, shattered glass across the capital, and was felt over 240km away in Cyprus. More than 220 lives were lost. Thousands were injured. Hundreds of thousands left homeless. It wasn’t war. It wasn’t terrorism. It was corruption and neglect.

Beirut turned into a battlefield blood on the streets, people screaming, buildings crumbling. Hospitals collapsed. Families vanished. The sky glowed red, and the silence after the blast was louder than the explosion itself.

But amid the horror, the people rose. Strangers helped strangers. They cleaned, rescued, rebuilt. They screamed for justice. And they still are.

This wasn’t just an explosion.
It was a warning.
It was betrayal.
And it must never be forgotten.
