That’s so devastating .
Startled the crap out of me as i had my headphone on.
Pat Alberta same!
She looked gorgeous poor girl
It was very rude of that explosion to ruin her wedding day.
nah. it will end up in divorce anyway
This is Lebanon isn’t it?…poor bride…
The Paris of the Middle East . Next in line to be destroyed as did Iraq Libya afghanistan and Syria . What a shame
@Hansek O’Brien Paris of the Mideast title died back in the 50s….
This is Life. You think everything is happy but don’t know what is coming
Imagine her photos after that! How could she smile? The couple will never forget their wedding day… So sad…
Ain’t that the scary truth!
@Frances Kotar They will never forget being rudely interrupted by an explosion.
And you thought your wedding was a disaster well…
The explosion was rude.💝
Started so beautiful and look how ugly it ended
I read that this massive explosion in Beirut Lebanon was caused by a massive amount of ammonium nitrate exploding. There are two other events that I know about where ammonium nitrate exploded. One was in the nineteen forties in Texas City, Texas where a couple of ships loaded with ammonium nitrate exploded devastating Texas City. The other event was at a small town in Texas where a building filled with ammonium nitrate exploded and caused a lot of damage. Ammonium Nitrate which is a type of fertilizer can explode when heated by a fire. Safety precautions must be observed to prevent this type of chemical explosion.
They said on the news today Aug. 8/20 that it was left there since a very long time. Gross negligence the President said and they are going to pay heavy for this… Poor Bride and Groom, they will never forget their wedding day… I’m so sorry for them.
oh shut up
Really? Fertilizer of all things? You’d think that knowing how explosive it can be they would have stored it properly. Or at least in smaller amounts.
This is going to be the beginning of a horror movie/documentary in the future.
Feel so bad for her and her family.
From a Canadian photographer, very sorry to hear of this disaster. Sad the Bride had her most cherished day ruined.
Thank goodness the folks at the shoot were ok. That was awful. A lesson to me to read the description before watching a video. The devastation is unspeakable …
Very spooky just as they got a close up of her it goes off weird.
After the explosion you can see how much worse the air became, and the surroundings. Truly, horrifying.
Hope she’s okay.. Praying for Lebanon! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 🇱🇧
That rude explosion ruined her wedding day.
So heartbreaking. Her dress was so beautiful and she looked so happy. The world has reached a place where you not only don’t know what the next day will bring, you can’t even know what the next SECOND will bring.
Glad the bride and others at the photo shoot seemed ok. So sweet how her groom came and swooped her up.
Our eyes try to take in your plight but our hearts know we comprehend just a degree of what you are now facing. Condolences indeed … 🥀🥀🥀
That will traumatize her for life
At least she’s alive.
On the bright side, she can always say her wedding was the bomb.
They are so calm. WOW Indeed. It’s comforting to know they are ok. But so sad to know so many are not. 🙁
