What the hell was that?

The house was in this city now is possible.

I'm going to deal with it. The In one heart-stopping moment last Tuesday, Beirut, a city that's seen its share of walls,

was rocked by the biggest blast in its history.

We've got images just coming into us and they show a scene of total chaos.

Lebanon, the capital Beirut has been hit by a massive explosion.

An enormous red mushroom cloud towered over the Lebanese capital,

whilst buildings were reduced to rubble and shattered glass

rained down across the city.

You can see the plume of smoke rising into the blue sky.

In a land so often cursed by violence,

a catastrophe more likely the product of

human incompetence than malicious design we're going to take you straight to Beirut

where there has been at least one massive explosion in the last hour or so.

Beirut is still counting it's dead. More than 5,000 people were injured. Hundreds are still missing, and more than 150 are already known to have died.

A day after the blast that catastrophically shook Beirut.

The true scale of the disaster emerged.

You're listening to stories of our times

from the Times and the Sunday Times.
