THE BEIRUT PORT EXPLOSION

Global Report, 21 Nov 2020
Shortly after 6:00pm on 4 August 2020, an explosion ripped through the port of Beirut. It killed more than two hundred people, wounded over 6,500, and destroyed large parts of the city.

Forensic Architecture was invited by Mada Masr to examine open source information including videos, photographs, and documents to provide a timeline and a precise 3D model to help investigate the events of that day.

This amazing video is the results of the talented work Forensic Architecture put together.
