SENSITIVE MATERIAL. THIS IMAGE MAY OFFEND OR DISTURB An injured man is pinned under a vehicle following an explosion in Beirut's port area, in Beirut, Lebanon, August 4, 2020. REUTERS/Mohamed AzakirGrabbing his camera, Azakir rushed out into the streets, trying to locate the source of the blast.
Azakir saw one man, pinned under a vehicle, covered in a thick film of rubble and blood. At first, Azakir thought the man was dead. But then the man opened his eyes and began waving his arms and asking for help. Azakir was told by the rescuers that the man was being taken to a hospital. Reuters has not been able to ascertain the identity of the man or to which hospital he was taken.
This poor man survived with some injuries and seems fine now according to news reports..
KellieHare heartbreaking 😢
That picture looks faked. Im not sure why but objectively speaking, it looks like a staged photo.
Media at its worst, before helping anyone, before getting the dead body out they will prefer to capture their stories for their ratings and point scoring. Shame on these media channels for their inhumane acts. Shame.
🙏🏻
The fuck is wrong with you? This man has family, friends, people who care about him who will be distressed by this photo. Hell I’m distressed and I don’t know him
I thought there is something called 'journalism ethic'....or it's all about the money?...
Posting this photo is beneath
Would you show such an insensitive and harrowing picture of an American citizen? Why is death and destruction the only foder you crave and show like this when it's happening to 'foriegners'
Lack of decorum
😱😱😱😱
& rescue came eventually after a photoshoot. Is journalism a force for good or the very otherwise 🤔
Shouldn't this image be sensored,
cover the photo 😤
Most people in this thread did not read the article. Guess and win game.
Content warning This picture took me by unpleasant surprise. Also, no one in such dire straights should be news fodder. The picture is terrifying. I'm glad the man was rescued alive, but this is too far. Journalism doesn't need to be shocking to be GOOD.
Who ever take the photo, how can you take a photo of someone dying, if you are not gonna help the less you can do take a stupid photo.
One picture 1000 words
Think it's good showing this picture. It shows how it really looks like. And makes clear that reality is not consumable.
This is horrible. God Bless Beirut.🙏🏻
International activities of the Latin America states in combating drug trafficking in the XXI century:
Have some God damn decency will ya!?
This is disrespectful to that man and his family. You’re better than this
Sad
To those who did not bother to read the article. He was rescued and survived.
May this soul rest in peace
This image being used for clicks, is SO disrespectful to this person and their family. It’s so disappointing Reuters.
PhilipGagne Dafuq Reuter’s?!
Dead ?
Dea stop sharing hurt break picture about bierutExplosion we know what happen, this is against humanity.
This picture is disturbing
This is the worst Raphael costume I’ve seen in quite some time
Is he okay
💔 BeirutBlast
You're getting to be more of a garbage news agency by the day. Maybe that's the Thomson in you? Whatever it is, it stinks.
💔
People who can’t handle seeing this live a plush life.
plz respect the Dead...
こんなん世界中に晒すのか。 オールドメディアの独善的な「言論の自由」と「報道しない自由」の基準はよく分からんけど、共感できないことだけはハッキリ分かっている。
respect to those who have unwillingly found themselves close to God...
This is extremely insensitive. Why show this?
Sick person that finds it ok and somehow necessary to take a photo of an injured person instead of helping immediately.
Stop streaming that kind of photos! Are you guys nuts? This man has a family or people who know him. At least blur his face idiots!
Reuters are freaking garbage .. have their own agenda
💔
People are complaining about this image and yet we have TV cameras in emergency rooms filming road accident victims and we sit there sipping coffee and call it entertainment. What a world !
What was he staring at?
It's time we grew up and see actual images and not shield ourselves from reality. It would move us to take action faster rather be complacent and removed. (Think of dead toddler on Turkish beach)
Thank corrupt Beirut officials and Vladimir Putin.😀
Thats horrific 😲
Rough justice.
Oh My God. The whole event was horrendous! I guess it was a difficult one to do. I am terribly upset for the people of Lebanon.
Please don't show these pictures 👋
Guys, just report the photo on Twitter as violent. Reuters don't care.
click the link people ... hes alive ... although an insensitive photo
Blur it!
dont show it, this guy had friends and family mourning him, maybe searching for him
Ow that looks incredibly painful
people who find this 'offensively graphic' should reflect on how pleasant and safe their lives must be to have such a perspective.
You show no respect to the victim. Absolutely unacceptable photo.
To whoever posted this....Imagine if the person in this picture was your relative. How would you feel?
Why display this picture here? Imagine if he was your beloved one, would you still do it?
Why the f do u caption such a picture?
You need to cover his face at least. Be respectful
This must be the Trump Family Christmas card for this year !.... ;
ow.... I just realized people are LIKING this? commooooon...😖
Have the decency to blur the person face?! What a dxxk journalist❗
You shouldn‘t post this photo. Would you like to see your father or brother exposed like this?
A very sad moment 😢
THIS PIC IS NOT NECESSARY !!!
Why would you show us this?
Remove it!!!
Twitter this is a disturbing graphic
Jesus Christ Reuter’s! What the fuck is wrong with you?!
Please delete or make it blurred
I’m sure the guy would just love his photo put out there ...Not ! Fs show some respect to him and his family.
Too graphic
Could’ve placed a warning on that
There is no follow up photo wtf
Sensationalism at its best..congrats...full marks for shock value.
Bad journalism. That gory picture is insensitive. If the blast is proven to be deliberate or an act of terror this kind of journalism works to advance it.
Disgraceful. Nobody needs to see this. REMOVE IT
Is this really necessary?
viva Hezbollah
WTF Remove picture 🤬
Why does it look like his left eye is photoshopped?
Is he ok?
verified TwitterSafety
Seriously... Can you add an advertisement please... ans for exemple this is illegal in France
sadists! how can they post something like that? sick is what you are
Vay len :s
prayforbeirut
Are you serious? Take the post down or cover it. I’m sure your family wouldnt want pic of your dead picture on twitter
Cette maladie qu'on les gens de réfuter la mort et d'un autre côté d'être dans l'empathie des victimes! Oui il y a des morts en cas de catastrophes! La mort existe encore, ce qui est insupportable sont ceux qui veulent l'a voir loin et donc la minimiser au maximum. Paix à son âme
As a photographer, I think this image is a step to far. Might have relatives who will see this
oh my god
Oh God have mercy on us today and always
Content warning! I will report his picture! So rude and no repect to the victim ReutersFail
Only the misery of brown people get exposed in this way.... SHAME ON REUTERS!
I just have to report this tweet! Pls, stop posting content like this!!!
Why not censor such images or its because he is not white. Takataka
Did the man in the picture survive?
Why the fuck would you just paste such a photo on my timeline? Fuck you.
This is very insensitive/graphic and should not be used as the thumbnail. Kindly delete
A bit more context would be appreciated, ... “At first, Azakir thought the man was dead. But then the man opened his eyes and began waving his arms and asking for help.”
Twitter is okay with this being posted?
😢
Damn that is very disrespectful! Imagine if that was your brother, would you tweet it? Remove it!
que isso porra
😢It is now confirmed that Hezbollah kept the chemicals in the port for their use. They ONCE AGAIN murdered the Lebanese people. My prayers to those injured & the wonderful Lebanese people. May you rid yourselves of the Hezbollah terrorists & once again enjoy peace & freedom!
WTF is wrong with you guys
Can you respect the dead and their families? Imagine if this man's family stumbled across this photo? Bastard
That poor man, I'm glad they got him out 😱
yea use a different image jesus
Glad he is alive . 👍
Fuck
Delete
You should cover this photo!! So insensitive
content warning please this is graphic
😢
Dude, why
Oh God
