- A year on since one of the largest non-nuclear blasts in history, Beirut continues to search for answers.
Families of the victims of the explosion at the port continue to demand answers.
The investigations have not uncovered what triggered the explosion and the origins of the shipment that exploded.
And attempts by the lead judge to prosecute some of those believed responsible for unsafely storing tens ammonium nitrate at the port for years have faced political backlash

The one thing that has always bothered me was who was the one that believed that storing fireworks, oil and ammonium nitrate in one facility in the heart of a city was a good idea? Not to mention, they didn't even bother to do basis checks by the sounds of it either. There's gross negligence and then there's this.
Someone was building bombs there that’s why those two things were put so close together
Someone who likes to sort things without thinking about what he's sorting.
Stupid thieves steal stuff and damage much of it while stealing, they sell some of the undamaged stuff and let the rest sit. Fireworks have a short expiration date. Ammonium nitrate had damaged packaging. It is the combination of thievery and stupidity.
@@kurtilein3 only this time the thieves were probably the management of the port.
Exactly my point, how did the ship containing the explosive, ‘ accidentally ’ end up there? Off loaded and left! Much more to this then meets the eye, I’m sure of it. That stuff went all over the Middle East, sent by hidden hands!
The opening starts with the woman yelling "this is his smell! this is his smell!" when she sniffed the pillow just before crying.
I'm a survivor....& watching this documentary makes me sick for how much our cartel leaders don't care about Lebanese people...This small country never knew peace cause of our war lords & religious people...I guess the solution is either a foreign country come & rule us or simply to go into a federalism...How come after 2 years we don't have justice yet....not a single responsible person in jail...
Its sad. They had what amounted to a small nuclear weapon detonating in the heart of their city and it was pretty much just a couple days of "wow, did you see that explosion??".
No. If it was even a small nuke,that "shockwave",it's temperature would be a couple thousand degrees and all those people you've seen covered in blood,they would be vaporized,& the death toll wouldnt be 200,more like 20 000
Even sadder, I doubt most people even remember it now. It's like nothing is a big deal anymore.
We are all one incident away from becoming homeless or poor. We all shu'd stay humble and help one another.
amen
After losing half of my house from 2006 java earhquake, this word cant be truer. And it can happen again any times
Pure Truth!
@@andrewj3177 Have you been able to rebuild? Wishing you well
Amen 🙏🏻
All three leaders of that country should be held accountable. In the end it falls on them!! I’m so sorry that this happened to the Lebanese people. So sorry for all the injuries and the loss of your loved ones. I hope they don’t just let this go. The people of that country deserve answers.
So let's assume they come up with answers. Then what? Nothing. The only answer for Lebanon is the fall of the Iranian regime.
100% fact!!
Or emergence of a new power instead of Iran & Saudi Arabia in middle rast.
@@mariyabiswas3391 how will that fix that basket-case of post civil war sectarianism and corruption
@@transkryption
The only emergence of "new power" from the middle east can be of more radical Islam. Europe and the US did nothing when the Iranian regime shot its citizens at their back and did nothing when Assad used chemical weapons.
@@ponyclub3198 what evidence ia their for chemical weapons¿
Didn't an international investigation diamiss that? (led by the Dutch if I recall correctly)
Chlorine? i mean what state actor would use something you can make by accident at home?
A state actor? I'd expect VX or VG or something superior than WWI chlorine... (unless there was extensive uae of trenchea why?)
I really hoped this film would also include the anecdote of three lives lost - two before the explosion and one after - of men who also rang the alarm bells of what was being stored at Beirut Port. These were: Mounir Abu Rjeily, a former anti-smuggling customs authority; Colonel Joseph Skaff, former Chief of the drug control division at the Lebanese Customs; and Joseph Bejjani, a military photographer. Abou Rjeily and Skaff died under mysterious circumstances prior to the bomb while Bejjani was assassinated in his own home after the bomb.
What these men knew is important, because at the end of the day Lebanese are only getting angrier at the fact that some people who are alive know what happened while we don’t…
😳
No justice. 😥😡
It breaks my heart to see that lady crying at the beginning.
Same :(
Complacency and corruption leads to things like this...
Good people helping their hurt neighbors. Love showing love ❤️
I'm reading about the Halifax Explosion now (Dec 1917, killed almost 2000, blinded and burned many more), so to see this happen ***again*** in a modern city (!) for no good reason, with no accountability for the real people who let this happen, is absolutely unjust and cruel and despicable. Greed, corruption, and evilness in action. So sad.
It's a cover up by the various agencies
That thing went off like a mini Hiroshima. My heart goes out to the Lebanese people.
"Never theorize before you have data. Invariably, you end up twisting facts to suit theories instead of theories to suit facts"-------Sherlock Homes
Also need to make a quote for ignoring data that disagrees with agenda.
Data are made up all the time. There’s no justice where there is no will of justice
ASK HIZBOLAH THE ANSWER IS THERE .
Mayyybe... Maybe not...
What's incredible is how the grain inside the silos helped decouple the deadly explosive shock wave and this assisted in the silo's being partially saved. Sadly no one focuses on what wasn't destroyed and why. The grain silos should remain as a reminder to everyone of the lives lost. The fact their still standing can be seen as the resilience of the people against a corrupt government keen to bury all the facts.
A hideous and morbid commemorative structure but the silos were certainly resilient. Interesting idea
With war lords and thieves ruling the country there will be no answer . NABIH BERRI , Jumblat , Hariri family , Hezbollah , Aoun family , Geagea and the rest should have been in jail long long time ago in a country with justice .
Would love to know the names of everyone acused of anything
They're all protected criminals and their names are known.
When all else fails, in due time, there will be the sweetest justice that everyone can never run away, God's justice.
I don’t understand why they store this huge quality of chemical from 2014 in port .where is the port saftey manger? He is sleeping from 2014?
They should shift this chemical to some other yard where fire saftey measurement are 100% prefect
Let us hope this can never, ever happen again. Anywhere in the world. Lives matter. Lives are precious.
I think it's on top officials who knew and did nothing all those should be caught and hangged in public only then maybe Lebanon can have new start
"Hanging's too good for them..."
This is what happens when the job of a Storekeeper is seen like that of a blue collar laborer while that of a front office secretary is seen as white collar and paid better. No proper inventory management process (origin, quality, quantity, proper storage, safety, and security)
That substance was under army control, the port authorities didnt have the power to do something about it.
@@Buddie21341255612351 are you by this saying army logistics doesn't follow the basic rules of logistics? Again I say, this is what happens when a receptionist is seen more important than a Storekeeper.
You don’t accidentally store explosive compounds at a port for 7 years….in bulk, and not knowingly influence a few decisions. Glad to see that France is rebuilding the port though and not China, seems all above board.
When I saw the blast I thougth numbers are much much greater.
This is bad the whole system let it’s citizens down.
What does the site look like today. Are there rebuilding. Regards
they don,t have any money
Plenty of construction
Small parts a barely beiing reconstructed but by the port the scene is still pretty much the same. Regards
It's the government's fault. They NEED to let those innocent workers go, and accept responsibility.
And the chemical trigger for ammonium nitrate is oil...
We would never witness this explosion if is was at night
Or if, like the second ww there were no cameras everywhere. Now we have eyes all over the place. There's one thing I thought of. If a Jumbo Jet had been in the sky above, it would have been blown to bits.
Peaceful love and happiness to the beautiful and intelligent people of Lebanon.
Intelligent?
@@yeshuasage3724 yes, intelligent. Lebanese people are known for being intellectually vigorous. Educate yourself
A chemical? Bro that was a nuke
Yet another man made disaster that could have been prevented.
If this were happend in dense city like Mumbai,Delhi, Tokyo, Dhaka it might caused 100k casualties,but this is too sad and still I feel sad for those poor people,may Allah grant them Jannah.🤲🤲
So 😢 sad. God bless them all
that ammoniums is for syria use to build boom
I hope justice will be brought for the Lebanese people, they deserve better
You almost lost me with the Syrian government has attack. I'm glad I watched the entire video.
Siiiggghhh... as usual (and NOT just in Lebanon / Middle East) the guilty and.or responsible parties will Never Ever be brought to justice (HANGED!) because they have rank & privilege & money and.or (worst of all, imo) will be warned lonnng before warrants are issued!
Iran and Hizballah are 100% responsible
RIP to those who lost their lifes

Nobody matters when it comes down to money, corruption and power.
corruption kills
the level of evil in this world is over 9000
That was very heartbreaking 💔😢😔
Army should have moved nitrate inland + stored the 2,750 tons in a 50ft deep square pit..
Welding team left an hour before fire, could have left smouldering materials which ignited fireworks, should they have been / were they working near stored fireworks..?
Every bag had sufficient information printed on exterior to warn of dangers + written warnings were made for eight years..
If you see liquid leaking from a huge fuel container, that has flammable signage to warn of danger, are you going to use welding equipment next to it, would you continue to walk past the storage facility every day taking no action..?
Fire Brigade in attendance show storage facility doors to be locked with no person having the keys..
No 'highly inflammable' signage is recorded on exterior of warehouse, no emergency water sprinkling system can be seen inside the warehouse..
R.I.P..
As stated, corrupt management of the country, which is why;
F.B.I. should have been aware of where such shipments were going having already suffered from a nitrate terrorist attack in the USA..?
MEDIAPART (c) has expert 3d modelling of disaster with information of substances stored in warehouse 12, this includes 23 tons of fireworks, etc..
R.I.P..
Stored in the port, for the Syrian regime by Hezbollah
Deliberately shipped from ‘ third’ country? And a story spun around how it was offloaded etc?
All it takes is a little complacency for stud to blow up. There’s usually not a cool conspiracy.
There is no future in Lebanon.
The average wage now is $41 per month.
Everyone who can is leaving the country.
Who's responsible? They're knackered who ever they are.
How very sad for all those who needlessly lost their lives.
Is been a year or so since Deadly explosion in Beirut ....God rest their souls
2 and 1/2 years and still nothing
Everything points towards hezbollah, iran and syria!
Maybe if cia never overthrew a democratic elexted president in Iran and installed the shah (who they taught how to make nuclear weapons) wouldn’t have what you have today.
@@baba-ganoush it is not relevant.
@@baba-ganoush More like if the religious extremists never took over, you wouldn't have what you have today.
There was a democratic elected president. Cia initiated a coup to install the Shaw which prompted the Iranian revolution. So america is the but for and proximate cause of what you have today it’s undeniable.
@@baba-ganoush i know, still dont care. whatever happens to any country, they dont have any right to intervene in other countries.
no USA, no IRAN, no RUSSIA, no CHINA!
Heartbreaking story,people lost life because of people not doing their job,,,,,,,,,,,South Africa
550,000,000 lbs of Ammonium Nitrate stored in down town wearhouse.
It is always someone else's fault. Blaming culture has ruined many countries especially those who pretend to know it all like Lebanon and the like.
Grabe kilabot!
Every day is4th Agust🖤🖤💔
Keep searching
Omg a disaster cocktail 🙄
Poor people. How many die in this explosion?
214
Prosecution. Will never happen.
Sadly probably true... True and horrible criminals are rarely brought to trial, much less convicted - way of this sad, stupid, unjust corrupt world... and it used to be such a nice place
seems to have had an impact on car bombings in the region.....humm wonder why ?!
This country is done.
Justice for Beirut
big brain thnking at the port, hey lets store explosive next to fireworks and gasoline....
someone set it off
It's an accident
God Bless Beirut
at least this generation can experience and witness a disaster a little bit similar like hiroshima and nagasaki. this event definitely will be remembered for a long time

The future of every arab county. Thier systems is not belong to 2021 but for midevil times
Apartheid, fascism and colonialism does not belong in the 21st century but rather in the 19th and 20th. Also as far as governing people goes, any system is eligible so long as it ensures social cohesion, security, prosperity and justice. All gulf nations and northern african nations have that except for the ones where US and allies invaded like Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan
You killed Jesus
The results of the systems is seen in every arab county. Israel belong to the jews the arab have 25 failed states. Israel is not apartheid every Arab countrie is apartheid. Israel decolonize the land that rightfully belong to the jews
@@user-br6nq5wt2d Hasbara's mantras as usual. Claiming the privilege to kill, abuse and destroy. By the way, are your new friends, Bachrain and UAE also failed states or are you using an old propaganda book?🙉
Keep reminding them until every and all expainations are brought to the surface. We want to know the killers of these people, who broke the hearts of the lovedones.
Ok cool

Look elsewhere
That's very dangerous chemicals no care takers in that building? They abandoned it?it's obviously intentional..how it is started the fire?
They messed them up bad
حان الان موعد حلاقه لحية حسن نصر الله
So.many.improvements.
Just some meaningless Internet comment suggestions:
1. More education, less invisible sky daddies.
2. People need to accept their own blame/responsibility.
3. Immutable decentralised administrative, financial, political and project management systems. This ameliorates the current system's risk/reward assymetry plus more.
4. Town planning 10 km exclusion zone of industrial ports from residential and commercial buildings.
5. Crime happens, so remove the human element out of ports/docks...plenty of 100% automated ports around the world...next political voting and financial systems.
for the easy life in Developed Countries rest of the world suffer
Israel did it
Lebanon deserves
I'm not trying to take my brother Paul's credit away my brother and Paul work nuclear national security for the United States of America and Russia so he probably blew you guys and smithereens is what he did I wish I could say I did it but I'm not trying to take his credit and his pride in his dignity away from him just like my brother John Blue China with the Chinese Warehouse explosion with my beautiful sister and also she is my wife right beside her I mean right beside him Christy b o h n and b o h n means Obama in Hebrew with my sons over there helping and I don't mean my sons from the Ohio valley I mean the Chinese explosion was my son's that I had with a Days of our lives actor there's five of them with big crosses on their hands on their own both of their hands really big crosses and also I have a local son that is that helped with the same fingerprints and his last name is none of your business
This was not an accident. This was a terrorist attack on Beirut. Amonium nitrate ,fireworks, methanol and ethanol in a locked warehouse . It's a no brainer. Someone wanted to level that port
Al jazeera will never bring any report about qatar but the can bring report about other countries what a shameful channel
stop fingerpointing, start building!!!!!!!
in the end, Lebanese government IS Lebanese people. STOP using religion for politics, sample JAPAN, build for the people, the people need construction, not religious party
who is benifisiary ? ISRAEL
You spell well

ISLAM IS VERY CLEAR ON RIBA - ٱلرِّبَوٰٓا۟ - BANK INTERESTS
The unanimous opinion of Islamic scholars is that Islamic Sharia law prohibits the receipt or payment of interest. This includes:
- Any interest received in a bank account
- Interest on any form of lending or borrowing
- Loans taken for property purchases with an interest element
- Loans taken out for educational courses (ie degree or Masters) with an interest element like HIGHER EDUCATION LOANS BOARD

(2:275) As for those who devour interest,315 they behave as the one whom Satan has confounded with his touch. on this situation, they say: Buying and selling, also, is the same as interest, even though Allah has made buying and selling lawful, and interest unlawful.
Now, Hence, he who receives this admonition from his Lord, and then gives up (dealing in Bank/Trade interest), may keep his previous gains, and it will be for Allah to judge him. But, As for those who revert to it (Continue to trade in Bank Interest), they are the people of the Fire, and in it shall they abide.
(2:276) Allah deprives interest of all blessing, whereas He blesses charity with growth.Allah loves none who is ungrateful and persists in sin.
(2:277) Truly the reward of those who believe and do righteous deeds and establish Prayer and pay Zakah is with their Lord; they have no reason to entertain any fear or grief.322 (2:278) Believers! Have fear of Allah and give up all outstanding interest if you do truly believe.
(2:279) But if you fail to do so, then be warned of a war from Allah and His Messenger (Problems in Life). If you repent even now, you have the right of the return of your capital; neither will you do wrong nor will you be wronged.
(2:280) But if the debtor is in strained circumstances, let him have respite until the time of his ease (when he can repay); and whatever you remit by way of charity is better for you, if only you know.
(2:281) And have fear of the Day when you shall return to Allah (When you die or Qiyaamah) and every human being shall be fully repaid for whatever (good or evil) he has done, and none shall be wronged -be put unjustly.

It was Mosad...search no further
Fertilizer was left in Beirut by abandoned ship, a common occurrence when the operator of a ship becomes insolvent. Owners of ship were known to import fertilizer to make bombs for Assad. Military with port authorities stored fertilizer unsafely. Mossad clearly not responsible and besides Mossad’s mistakes are usually confined to assasination of wrong individual, not this kind of catastrophe.
