Description

A fisherman filmed the moment the second of two blasts rocked the port of Beirut last week on Tuesday.

Following the first blast at the port which led to a huge cloud of smoke and dust billowing above the area, a second explosion can be seen in footage.

Deadly explosions that rocked the city's port area last week, killed at least 200 people, injuring thousands and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless.

The blasts are thought to have been caused by the still unexplained ignition of 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate, a highly explosive chemical material which was reportedly stored without precautionary measures at the port, according to Hassan Diab, who later announced his resignation as prime minister.
