The way the shockwave swept those buildings is terrifying
Now imagine a nuclear bomb sweeping those whole buildings.
@@user-gd1wg5nh7g depends on the size of the nuke.
Looks like a Terminator movie
Fred Taylor no shit Sherlock, but nuclear head of any "size" would erase that city from the map
@@fredtaylor9792 In that case, it is not called a "nuke"
This is the best possible footage you could have. 4K, buildings showing the effects of the blast, long enough distance that you see most of the explosion... this is literally the biggest peace-time explosion perfectly captured on camera.
I agree with your analysis truly much data is available here with the quantity type of chemicals and ignition to explosion.
Plus when things blow up very hard to ignore when it's huge and kills plus property destruction.
There are 1080p footage from other angles as well and even higher altitude with capturing more buildings.
You write about it as if it's a wonderful dear art project. Wtf is wrong with you?
@@ManteIIo do you have the video link?
I’d still like to see a modern day nuclear detonation as opposed to grainy 1950 era footage
The flash and the the way the air liquified due to the pressure are the most haunting when viewed in slow motion.
No the heat from the explosion was so intense that the moisture in the air was vaporized while also the moisture close to it was turned in to a gas and pushed back by the force, at least I think
yep that's what happens when the air is humid enough, and since this occured near a coastal area there was plenty of moisture on hand in the air
@@derekwall200 yeah imagine 10times more powerful and it's Hiroshima and imagine Tsar Bomba approx 44 000 Times Beyrouth explosion . Like imagine a Beyrouth explosion every 100m^2 it would create radioactive waistlands for miles with nothing.
@@Val_Rhaven technically isn’t moisture already vapor? So you can’t vaporize water vapor.
@@Val_Rhaven so it's not the heat it's the pressure... specifically the negative pressure that follows the high pressure of the initial wave. This is because air holds less water at lower pressures for a given temperature, so the lower pressure wave behind the high pressure blast is forcing the water out of the air. If you look closely, the destruction of the buildings is happening from the high pressure from the blast, and the vapor cone is following behind a few meters. In fact the vapor cone doesn't materialize until shortly after the explosion, because it needs a few milliseconds for the air to decompress following the explosion. You'll also notice that the camera is knocked off the window ledge before the vapor cone arrives at the lens.
I just met a child who directly saw it from his 7th floor balcony and he’s still traumatized by it. Glad he is alive. He was 7KM away
Scary as hell even from behind the screen...
You cant imagine the horror we felt , we all still cant forget that moment🥺
@@ADAM_NX I’m truly sorry you had to go through that. ABSOLUTELY NOBODY SHOULD GO THROUGH THAT.
I wish you the best of life! Stay strong.
@@ADAM_NX i’m so sorry
In an intstant:
210+ killed
6,000+ wounded
~300,000 were left homeless
if it had of been at night time when everyone was home, all of those apartment buildings... also, i have a hard time believing only 210 people died in this video.
It only killed 178 people. Where are you getting 210+???
@@nrdsgtbck101 Looks like final death toll of this enormous blast is now 181+, and 30-40 people missing - or presumed dead unfortunately. :-(
That’s a lot of tactical nukes
@@sky-tec only killed 178
I live in Lebanon. Nothing happened to me or my relatives thank god. My house just shook and no glass broke. At first, I thought it was an earthquake because the floor was shaking. Then we heard the sound and instantly knew it was an explosion. Scared the life out of me.
As Spanish I love the people of Lebanon!, they're beautiful and very kind. To me the best country of the arab world!, I was very sad when that happened. How are you doing nowadays?, Is getting better to live there?
😅😅
will you rise up and join a party that takes on the establishment that allowed this to happen? those judges need to be on pikes
@@JP-xd6fmthank you I live here❤
the way you see the parts of building being flung into the air…that is absolutely terrifying
Imagine keeping HIGHLY explosive material in a normal storage for 6 years. This could have been easily avoided with the help of the experts. Rest in peace all those who died to this. They didn’t deserve this :(
They didn’t even need the help of experts, according to the Wikipedia page, people petitioned to remove the material for 6 years. Criminal negligence on behalf of the government, they knew the risks they just didn’t care.
More than that, they stored also fireworks in same warehouse. And those took fire from a crazy welders.
@Linux Chrasher Ownership was hidden behind various companies, has Hezbollah written all over it.
Hammerschlägen M you can kinda see, look at the bottom of the explosion and you’ll see the flashing lights. Those flashing lights (some even look like different colors) are the fireworks. The fireworks set off first because of a fire in the warehouse, then those firework explosions made the toxic and chemicals they had (stored next to the fireworks) blow up! I’ve read that it was an accident BUT they knew about the chemicals being stored improperly & didn’t do anything about it.. but basically from what I’ve read it was two explosions. First the fireworks in the warehouse (the gray cloud in the start of video) and then the chemicals reacting to the fireworks making an even bigger and deadlier explosion (the huge orange colored cloud). Hope this helps!
I thought the explosion was because some type of really dangerous bomb was dropped. Or so I heard in the news.
See the camera shift shortly after the blast starts? Seismic waves are 10-15 times faster than sound through air due to the density of the earth. Science.
Heart goes out to those affected and to those who've lost.
disturbances in the ether, magnetic in nature. A pulse immediately . so cool
@@dumpit3583 no, that's just the shitty auto-focus on the camera trying to readjust.
@@TheJollyGreen ken wheeler @theoria apophasis youtube taught me that. He is the only one in the world who can explain the Ether properly. Light is not a wave or a particle it's a coaxial circuit.
Or he saw the blast and tried to dip.
Sorry mister ph. D I didn't notice you write comments on yt.
If you slow the speed to 0.25x you can literally see the massive destruction being caused frame by frame. Absolutely terrifying, and heartbreaking.
Great suggestion, you can see debris flying off the buildings one frame at a time
Yea I love slow motion on top of more slow motion… 👍
No sht...
You can also see the guy filming
If you're on a computer, you can also use the , and . keys to respectively go back and go forward 1 frame.
This is probably one of the best videos of the explosion. Both pressure and seismic wave can be seen, even though it is close. Further away people had time to feel the seismic wave, think what was going on, and then experience the pressure wave. I am glad to have only felt the delay from a thunderstrike 1km from our house and not what these people were experiencing. Just as a advice: Stay away from windows and things that can turn in to shrapnel when you see a warehouse fire. A lot of the people filming these videos were like filming a speeding train while standing on the tracks without knowing what could happen.
It's also why, at large concerts, bass will travel to you faster through the ground than the rest of the spectrum.
I've seen some better ones but the problem is it is impossible to hold the camera as the shockwave is coming at you. It's the only time I approve of people dropping the camera out of frame. The best video I've seen was so close the fireball was blowing into the guys apartment. He caught everything but as the shockwave approached he got blew on his a** and all the windows in his apartment blew out. It caught everything so much better.
There's a video of some workers, super close to the ground zero. You can get a closer look at the sparklies. Ammonium nitrate.
Nuclear blast. Chemicals DONT seismic waves or craters, much less on a reinforced concrete of a harbor.
I was reading about this, customs officials sent several letters throughout the 6 years to judges pleading that they allow them to re-export or sell to the military because of this very reason. But the judges never returned the reply. My heart goes out to everyone who lost their lives and those injured and missing.
Judges need to be hung
Military? It was a firework warehouse?? That’s what I read
@@Baillie. You misunderstood. They asked a court to remove the nitrate from the warehouse in the port because it was dangerous for over 5 years but the judges never responded.
@@sovietnationalism3182 classic judges
@@sovietnationalism3182 Yeah, not only was it stored there, but it apparently wasn’t stored safely. Came from a ship that had been stuck there iirc. Totally avoidable and negligent.
Everytime I watch this tragedy, realizing how quickly so many lives were ended, and the many more which are irreversibly altered, I just don't have words.
No tragedy at all ! Search on "U"-Tube for TR-3B code name is "ASTRA" hypersonic airframe equiped with ( DEW ) "direct energy weapon" in reality it's a Charged Particle Beam . Seems Hezbollah was in control of that stockpile of Amonium Nitrate and we're making IED's and using them against American Forces in Syria , and stuffing it inside those rockets they shoot at Israel. The TR-3B "Vaporized" that shit , 30 years ago 241 U.S. Marines were murdered as they slept in there barracks by a Hezbollah suicide driver in a truck loaded with amonium nitrate , Happy Anaversery Hezbollahs ,paybacks a bitch !

Yeah you do, my guess is you have many words for everything that doesn’t effect you.
26 words to be precise…..
@@notyou8535 Wtf is your problem??
I felt that explosion while I was sitting at home 230km away in Cyprus.
9055116 inches. Unthinkable.
And then there are metric measurement: 230 km = 230 000 m = 23 000 000 cm = 230 000 000 mm. Stupid Europeans and their logical easy to work with metric system
9.055116 billion thou. Breathtaking.
230 trillion nanometers, astonishing!!!
2.642502e-11 light years, not impressed...
I’ve seen footage of this tragedy many times but every single time I get horrified and it never gets easier or incredible to watch. Rip to all of those poor souls who left this world that horrific day
Same. It struck me deeply. And then learning there were firefighters on the ground right there trying to put out the fireworks fire (that ignited the explosion). Its very scary and sad to think about.
Stupid human....
Indeed. 😞💔😞
So incredibly horrific!!! 😱
Amen to that .
@@evonne315 They didnt feel a thing after BOOM.
its so dense, every frame has so much going on in it
immagine a nuke in slowmo in a city. You would be able to even see the heat wave before the blast. Crazy isnt it.
Fuck you Rick you ruined Star Wars.
Thanks Rick
Looks like 'Terminator II' when Sarah Connor had a nightmare dream about a nuke strike.
yup, i thought of it the first thing when i watched explosion also

@BOB K bullshyte.
Can't believe this was 2 years ago. Time flies.
Jesus! The slowmo hauntingly shows you the dramatic power of that explosion. God bless all souls
If you pause the video at 1:55 you can see the mans arm who was recording. I thought he just placed the camera down and left. Hope he was ok
czcams.com/video/a1vRzOffSYk/video.html This is him, he survived!
His belly showed from the shockwave💀💀
@@CzyBam its nto him actually, the guy in the video was at the street 650m away from detonation
Thank you for showing this. Even now it shocks one to see the horrific effects of the blast wave.
How and the hell is the death toll so low for an explosion like that. Basically looks like it's taking down everything in it's path, every window is blowing out like crazy. That was beyond insane. If you put the video on .25x speed when the video is playing it in slow motion you can see frame by frame slowly and really see what's going on, it's insane.
the explosion was at the site. the rest is shock-wave, didn't destroy the structure of the building, but whats inside like glass and stuff hanging from the ceiling like airways. many died from these stuff that felt on them. I was working in a hospital more than 8km away, underground and yet felt the explosion, the hospital shook like it was a mild earthquake. the glass fell of and was replaced, and it was at the opposite site of the explosion.
mostly it was people injured minor injuries in the thousands, they got some stitches and went home
I find that hard too believe the low death toll something does not make sense
I was home when it happened and i live 3 km away, the thing that fucked me up was the glass door that i was facing not the shockwave itself. Most people who died that day were the firefighters responding to the "fire" at a hangar and people being blasted by glass at stupid speeds.
It's only windows, doors and roofs getting destroyed, it's not as bad as it looks, there's a lot of dust being thrown around. Only a few small buildings around the explosion had structural damage, such as collapse.
@@touchypainter6936 Gosh! Hope you are okay now.
That’s horrible i can’t imagine what it would’ve been like to be in that situation
For those that don't already know: if you pause the youtube video and press , and . you can go back and forth one frame at a time. So you don't need super slow-mo to view it at its slowest.
didnt know that thank you!
Even to this day this footage never ceases to shock me with awe as to what chemical fertiliser can do.
I must add RIP all those poor soul who passed away from this needless incident. I can bet those truly responsible will never be convicted.
You believe the cover story?
It’s crazy how you can see the shockwave traveling through leaving debris behind
I've been around quite a few explosions, this is one of the most horrific I've seen. So many prayers for all.
Crazy how much faster the seismic wave is compared to the pressure wave.
if you pause it at 1:31 then you will see how bright the explosion is without the debris
Imagine when our sun blows up
هذا افضل فيديوا شفته عن الحادثة بكل الوضوح والدقه شكرراً لعملكم

Wow, watch how blast enter one side of the building and go out from the other side . Crazy
yea as that pressure wave weaved threw the building and exited the other side i saw that to
That is absolutely horrifying, the blast wave blowing those buildings away.
At that distance there was literally only tenths of seconds to react. The best place to be in that situation would be any place you say, “My goodness, what was that?!?!”
Imagine being in those cars driving by the road outside it.
RIP to all those who lost their lives. But, my god...that was one hell of an explosion.
Never watch a fire behind a glass. You may not know if an explosion will happen and shatter glass on you eyes and face.
Rest in peace for all souls that lost their lives on that day.
Great view, but what happened to the poor guy holding the Nikon at the end!?

Why did the camera wiggle before the shockwave arrived at its location? Is it the Shockwave that traveled through the ground? Faster medium than air?
yes. its because speed of sound is usually lot faster in solids than in gases
@@spatrk6634holy shite
The dirt and dust coming off the buildings was incredible.
Wow the condensation of the water from the air brcause of the pressure delta I's insane! I hope that guy filming this is ok. I didn't realize there was a person behind the camera until the last slowmo.
Wow! Amazing footage! I am surprised it wasn't even worse of a death toll.
The shockwave followed by the massive condensation cloud consuming all the buildings is so haunting. Looks like something you'd see in an apocalypse movie
That killed more people than Mt. St. Helens four decades ago... the footage still has me trembling to this day.
You always hear that the shockwave is the most directly damaging part... and we've all seen the nuke test videos where the trees and small house get blasted... but that was on a whole different level.
It’s even worse in this case since thousands of people were standing at their windows watching the fire, unbeknownst to them a shockwave was about to turn every window in the city into shrapnel.
my heart goes out to those who lost family and those who were injured. what pain this must be for them all.
They were all browns so they don’t count
I live about 65km (40miles) from where the explosion happened.
My house shook like never before!
May the souls of those who died rest in peace.🌹
Just imagine what the nukes in Japan would have looked like in 4k. Holy heck that's scary!
This is what happens when you mishandled something with a warning on it that starts with "DON'T EVER DO THIS WITH THIS EVER".
this footage was actually used in the upcoming movie "the creator"... this is not ok....
nah, it's ok...
The fact how the explosion wiped out the building like a nuke was kinda scary
Playing 24-30 fps footage at 20% playback speed is not slowmotion, it is stop motion...
Can imagine some people thinking that it was a nuke at the first.
Wow... even the windows facing AWAY from the explosion got completely knocked out... look at that building with the satellite dish at 1:47... look at those windows
Terrifying indeed! 😱
the ablation of the concrete is impresive, like massively accelerated erosion.
It never occurred to me that the person filming this wasn't far enough away. My God, that blast got to him with unbelievable speed!
no way 158 killed!!! just in one building maybe.
The death toll already went up to 230.
Keep in mind they are still searching, that number could go way up.
The numbers are always jambled, bur from the explosion itself 60 died and 2.5k injured. That means some of the injured passed away. R.I.P.
Seems to me lebanese are not running Lebanon
@@kadam.z no, that means that you can only count those which you found. hundreds are still missing or not even that. same with injuries. you can only count how many were registered in a hospital. the acctualy number os probably 3-4 times higher.
Playing it in .25x slow mo makes it even slower. Basically frame by frame! Insane footage
On PC, you can use the period and comma keys to go frame by frame. Period to go forwards one frame, comma to go back one frame. The video has to be paused
@@asdfghjkl15817 learn something new every day
@@lanedevore6216 Congrats, bud.
You just entered a sweet universe. lol
Put this video at 0.25 speed during the slow mo for even more details. Terrifying.
The way it travels through the buildings is insane all those poor souls...no warning of any kind.
Put the slowmo part on playback speed of 0.25, interesting to see how the waves are propagating.
Prayers to everyone who dealt with this horrific tragedy !!
Thank you.
It is due to you type of people that there is fitna in this world
Man that pressure wave was unreal!!
even in slow motion you can see how terrifyingly fast the chemical reaction was that led to the blast, holy shit
Nonsense. Fertilizer my rear end.
that sent shivers down my spine
The video clearly shows how very fast and forceful that was. Heartfelt prayers and sincere condolences to all involved.
It gets scarier the more you slow it down.
I think as a scientist this is amazing, especially how the electrical percussion hits the the camera before the sound wave does! . . .
Is the electrical percussion the hiss between the seismic wave and the pressure wave? That was the part that caught my attention, but I don't know what would cause it.
Based on this footage, I see no way that the death toll could not be in the thousands. Seriously. My prayers go out to the good people of Beruit. The US should be helping and paying more attention. Something that was once standard.
Too bad the leader of the US thought it was a conspiracy theory. Regardless, the US did send aid, so I am not really sure why you're demanding a country on the other side of the planet with absolutely nothing to do with the disaster be the ones to lead rescue & recovery.
Come on back down to earth bud. The US doesn't always have to satisfy your weird hero complex. Maybe you should be paying more attention.
somewhere around 300
..aussie and bbc TV did a documentary which is heartbreaking...The deceased deserved to be recognized

corrupt politicians caused this
This was about 7-8% the power of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
Have you calculated ?🥴
@@lowskill2 Yes. The explosion at Hiroshima had the power of 15 - 16.4 kilotons of TNT , this explosion was measured to be 1.2 kilotons of TNT.
So terrifying..
Woahh... thats so scary.
who cares? it's not a contest.. many lives were lost
I continue to pray for the people of Lebanon, that God will hear their cries and rescue them.
What is that first smaller shockwave thats traveling way faster than the big shockwave? Although the camera is about 1500 feet away, you feel it almost immediately after seing the explosion? Reports said that it felt like a small earthquake before the big boom. Is the pressure/sound traveling faster through the ground than the air?
And its only 1.5 kilotons... Imagine 15, 100, 300, 1000 (1megaton), 15000, 50000...
Play it at 0.25x and you can see the details of the damage on those buildings.
The actual explosion is worth single-stepping (keyboard shortcuts: comma = previous frame, period = next frame)
If this is what happens to your windows and balconies..imagine what it does to your internal organs.
So imagine what the air burst from a nuke would do.
Set video speed to 0.25 and watch at 0:52. Really weird image distortion starting just before the explosion and during.
?????????????
I guess it is because the bright light cannot be captured entirely by the camera sensor(like an error) thus an image distorsion is shown.
its probably do to the explosion happening faster than it can complete one frame.
In explosion capture need a camera with 600-1000 frames per second to catch the reality.
The explosion made by a rocket. You can see it a little bit
For TheJollyGreen's comment here's what you're looking for. Basically, the lower half of the shockwave sphere had stomped the ground already really hard making a massive crater and rattled the soil as it was all compressed up all around thus made the seismic wave travel faster than the speed of sound can do in the air resulting of it to come first in the device by banging the whole ground and also the building where that was recording the thing itself.

@@unknotmiguel that looks like a second sun if you watch second 53 closely
@@thelastbee4701 and in slow mo 0.25 you can see weird implosion and air distorting, as if the refractive index changed like a lens. Maybe time slowed down or jumped because you see a huge sun and then an explosion. But before the sound wave shock, there is already some other kind of wave that reached the camera first before all else. Almost fusion.. imagine if this could open a tiny black hole!. And would cause a quantum break ( like the game)
@@unknotmiguel Lol, chill. It is probably the seismic activity reaching the viewer through the ground before the shockwave or the blast itself. That or magnetic fields from the explosion - and the camera cant keep up with the speed of it all eventually, leading to glitches. Also the last slomo in this video is not showing the 0:53 phenomenon. So it was probably cleaned up.
I was blown up 3 times in Afghanistan. I know from experience that each explosion is different, and the explosion these people experience is on another level. I am curious about the science that will come out of this. The PTSD data, stomach problems, mental issues, etc. These people will be different for the rest of their lives.
Be careful dude, you have one life left.
Were you a soldier or a tourist
I remember the day this happened the world initially thought someone detonated a tactical nuke
and yet the destruction from this is likely a fraction of what a nuke would actually do…
Unbelievably tragic and spellbinding at once....holy hell.
The sound slowed down, like something straight from a nightmare
They better get to the bottom of this quick the Lebanese people are furious rightfully so
Almost a year, nothing. The police beat up families of victims during protests for demanding justice
0:17 definitively there were two explosions! first: red explosion( ), second: white explosion( ), put in slow motion
Pretty sure it was only one explosion. It looks like the explosion hit the water and made a cloud of vapor around it.

The way the buildings look like they just _disintegrate_ as the wave hits…
To be honest I expected a lot more dead from this, may the ones who died Rest In Peace. Vicious explosion.
