Why did a violent explosion occur in Beirut, causing damage to the consulate building?
The object that caused the explosion was 2700 tons of ammonium nitrate stored in the port, but why the explosion occurred is currently being investigated by Lebanese police and government officials, but at this time, the United States has expressed its own view that this may be an attack, and it is specifically aimed at Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.
The explosion in Beirut, Al, had a great influence. Even the consulate of Kazakhstan in Beirut was directly damaged in the explosion, and even the consul was slightly injured. Now these injured people have been transferred to the hospital for treatment, and the explosion has caused thousands of injuries and dozens of deaths. Because the scope of the explosion is too large and the impact is too strong.
We can see that there was only a loud noise during the explosion, and then we can see a red mushroom cloud rising in the sky, accompanied by countless dust and countless shrapnel. This kind of elastic sheet is often the most powerful, because it is loose glass, which is easy to be ignored, but it can often directly hurt people in details. Many residents were either overwhelmed by the sudden explosion or injured by shrapnel scattered in the air.
After the incident, Lebanon immediately sent personnel to carry out rescue, transferred local residents and began to investigate the accident. But Lebanon has rescued the international community now, because it can't afford this accident any more, and the hospitals in Lebanon are about to collapse, because many patients from COVID-19 were admitted in the hospitals before, and this time it caused thousands of explosion casualties. There is no doubt that these people must be treated in local hospitals. At present, Lebanon is seriously short of materials and medical personnel, so it began to ask for help from the outside world, and Israel immediately said that it would carry out humanitarian and material relief.
There was an explosion in Beirut. What was the scene of the explosion like?
The explosion in Beirut Port before can be said to have touched the hearts of people all over the world. This time, a new explosion was found in the residential area of Beirut. The explosion was caused by the oil storage tank, which led to the explosion of the residential area. Moreover, the explosion also caused many casualties. According to statistics, at least four people were killed and dozens injured.
This time, according to the local government's media reports, we learned that it was around 8 pm local time on June 9, 10. In the residential area of bulut, there is a tall building. There was an explosion on the ground floor. The explosion happened in the bakery on the ground floor. After the arrival of the fire department and the civil defense department, the fire was quickly controlled, and the residents in the high-rise building were evacuated by fire control measures such as ladder. Moreover, before the results of the investigation were born, the military blocked the surrounding areas to further verify the cause of the incident.
Through the speech of the Secretary-General of the Lebanese Red Cross Society, we can get the specific events of the explosion, and the reasons have been roughly investigated. Specifically, it may be an explosion caused by improper disposal of oil storage tanks, which killed four people and injured many others. Moreover, the shock wave generated by this explosion caused considerable damage to the surrounding residential buildings and many passing vehicles, and even triggered a series of public panic. The Lebanese security department also detained the owner of the oil storage tank after the investigation. The specific incident is still under investigation, but it is believed that with the cooperation of the people, the result of the explosion will be announced soon.
Of course, we are also very concerned about the explosion in Beirut port area before. After the last explosion, 190 people died and more than 6000 people were injured. Up to now, many people are still missing, and there is no clear answer to the cause of the explosion involved in the previous explosion. Anyway, I still hope to find out the truth as soon as possible and give the public an answer.
