Israeli firm releases satellite photos of Beirut blast aftermath
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn Israeli satellite imagery analysis firm releases fresh bird’s-eye images of the damage caused by yesterday’s massive explosions at the Beirut Port.
The photographs show that the blasts caused a 70-meter (230-foot) crater near the port, leveling the buildings immediately surrounding the site, and directly damaging structures up to two kilometers (1.2 miles) away.
In one of the photos, a boat can be seen on its side after being knocked over by the force of the blast.
