Beirut explosion: Horrifying videos capture moment deadly blast smashes into cars and people

mirror.co.uk:

Horrifying video clips have been shared on social media which capture the moment the deadly blast erupted in Beirut. One video, filmed from inside a car travelling on a raised road parallel to the port area, shows huge plumes of white smoke filling the sky before the blast explodes into an orange fireball.

The force smashes into the car, smashing the windows and leaving the rear view mirror hanging off as the vehicle appears to have been flipped onto its roof.

While the person filming manages to pick them self up, other vehicles travelling along that stretch were not so lucky. In a second clip, the camera watches from the ground, much closer to the scene than the first, as the smoke cloud comes into view.
