Beirut port explosion - Escaping death by mere seconds

This is terrible, what if nuclear war happened

mere seconds if your cut the video dumbass

fcking hell..

Are my eyes playing tricks on me or am I seeing a splice/edit in the middle of the clip? The smoke on the left side of the screen seems to change too suddenly

Umm, if you just hunched behind those water containers or those square things on the left, you would have also survived as well.

Damn those jeans were on point

Even the birds knew it was time to head away from the fire.

If you look closely at left center part of this video you will notice that there were people on distant roof just as explosion happened.

Oh

Amazingly smart girls - most people would be standing at windows staring at the blast with a very sad result - getting blind (by fragments of broken glass), severy injured or killed.

The immortal camera man

Surely an attack by neighboring country... you know who

The girl in the jeans is beautiful

Firstly, my apologies for being so analytical about this tragic incident, and my sympathies to the folk of Beirut who died, were injured or suffered loss as a result of this awful incident.
But it does provide the opportunity for some very interesting analysis, and I have reviewed this video frame by frame to get some timing for the various phases of the blastwave.
The shock font arrives (when the chimney in the centre fails), just 42 frames after the flash. That's 1.4 seconds (at a frame rate of 30 fps). If the shock front was travelling at Mach 1 (340 m/sec), that puts the camera 476m from the initial position of the shock front. You state the camera was exactly 650m from the blast site, so, maybe the shock front was created at around 170 metres from the site.
The flash of the detonation was captured in a single frame, so was probably less than 33 ms, so as Ammonium Nitrate has a detonation velocity of 3 to 5 km/sec, the detonation radius would be somewhere between 70 and 300 metres.
I wonder if this 170 metres is an approximation to the actual radius of the detonation?

The blast wave is not "windy". The wind in the blast wave only lasts milliseconds as the high pressure wave passes through. That pressure can accelerate heavy objects which makes it look like it's windy. Immediately following the high pressure wave, there''s a smaller low pressure "negative phase" which makes some of these objects slow down and move towards the blast.

Resistio más el panel solar y la cámara que el edificio...

Bro took "Cameraman never dies" kinda too seriously

Smart girls!

That’s a big boom

Mere seconds? They left, there was a long pause, then there was a timelapse/time jump, then the debris hit after that

Ya they wouldn't have died stfu dumbass clickbait bulk

I bet they would still have gone deaf because of that shockwave.

Video skipped, more like a mere 3-5 minutes.

ah yes lets leave the door open

Influencers would be standing there trying to record it like tiktok people do

They're lucky they had enough sense to run away to safety. That blast was intense.

Why woman live longer than men right here! Us guys would have sat there to watch the explosion

Camera was still working..which company.

Ill never forget how insane this explosion was. Rip to all those who didnt make it

Our loved Invisible cameraman has unlocked the ability to be bombproof

They would’ve been blown off the roof! Instead they ran downstairs to get their co-workers and were watching from the plate glass windows.

Now imagine nuclear war… “ its not the destruction and the mighty power of natural phenomenons that would wipe human race, its the human race set to achieve that goal”

- Art of War : Sun Tzu

I might be wrong but it seems like debris suddenly change into the opposite direction in the midair.

Ach der Tag wird kommen... Wenn Muttererde sich für die schlimmen Taten der Menschen rächt. Da wird euch keine Waffe weiterhelfen:)

Cool

Lottery numbers ? If something really doesn't look right, leave, don't stare or film.

needed spiritual development

❤

Damn it destroyed those shanties

Did u notice the bird flying away I'm out here 😅😅😅 run

Erm. That was clearly not "by mere seconds", buddy.

haha I like the CLICK BAIT "MERE SECONDS"

No escape. they just dies in another place they thought was safe out of camera.

... good instinct

They still would felt it or even had injuries even inside that building.

That magnitude of explosion can kill people in 100 meters away or probably more distance covered.
Not a soldier but how do I know?
I forgot to turn off my gas stove.
1 room away and in 2nd floor, that gas stove exploded like hell, I felt like the fucking US army is raiding my house when I am half away from the middle east.
My friend who lives on the 4th door of the compound even felt it.

And that's how I met your mother kids , quite an explosive night

Honey, we aren't getting any current from the solar panels. I better go check...

The real question is , Why the fock is the camera on the terrace +
Why is it angled in this direction

Solar panel " tis nothang but a scrach"

It wasn’t seconds, cool video edit😑
