Beirut port blast crater 43 metres deep: security official

BEIRUT, LEBANON -- The huge chemical explosion that hit Beirut's port, devastating large parts of the Lebanese capital and claiming over 150 lives, left a 43-metre deep crater, a security official said Sunday.

The huge blast also wounded at least 6,000 people and displaced more than 300,000 from their destroyed or damaged homes. It was a new tactic for a protest movement that emerged last October to demand the removal of a political class long accused of being inept and corrupt.

Can’t we find other news?

Bombing themselves. What idiots

Hopefully at the bottom of it lies the pieces of Hezbollah!!!! Get rid of this terrorist organization🤷‍♂️

I wonder what was underground. These types of surface blast explosions from 'Ammonium Nitrate' or other chemicals including explosives usually only crater down at most, 25 meters. This crater has the hallmark of an underground munitions bunker. What was Hezbollah storing there?

I shutter to think if anyone were unfortunate to be caught at ground zero of the blast, would have been vaporized in the blast
