This explosion was so great that it destroyed an area of 10 km square, with shock waves reaching a distance of 100 Km, and the sound of an explosion was heard reaching neighboring Cyprus. Even this explosion creates a sandalwood cloud like a nuclear bomb.
To date 76 deaths have been recorded and 4,000 have been injured, all glass buildings in the city of Beirut have been damaged.
Government officials said the explosion might have originated from the port of Beirut which housed 2,700 tons of Ammonium nitrate (a raw material for fertilizers and explosives) that exploded due to unsafe storage for 4 years.
Instead American President Donald Trump blamed the blast as an "attack". While Israel and Iran mutually denied they were involved in this Incident.
