Something similar happened to Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Beirut. Governor Beirut

Beirut : The governor of Beirut, Marwan Abboud, cried when he saw the devastation in the Lebanese capital Beirut.

Talking to reporters, Marwan Abboud said that he had never seen such a catastrophe in his life, it looks like the catastrophe that happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, this explosion also reminds me of that.

It should be noted that during the Second World War, the United States dropped atomic bombs on two Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which wiped out both countries.

Talking to media, Marwan Abboud could not control his emotions and started crying. He said that many firefighters engaged in relief work were not being contacted.

It is believed that a terrible explosion has taken place in the Lebanese capital Beirut. The blast in Beirut was so intense that the windows of houses and offices were shattered in areas up to 10 kilometers away, nearby buildings and vehicles were destroyed, and city buildings are in ruins. It was initially reported that the blast took place at a fireworks factory near the port of Beirut, the first of which was followed by another large explosion, which completely destroyed the port.

Lebanon's director general of public security says the blast in Beirut was not caused by a fireworks factory, but by a highly explosive device that had been lying around for years.

Al Jazeera TV says the blast was caused by sodium nitrate, which was unloaded from a ship a few years ago and stored in the port's warehouse.

There are also reports that the Lebanese prime minister's wife, daughter and staff members were slightly injured in the blast.

"It looks like what happened in Japan, in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.That's what it reminds me of. I have never seen destruction on this scale in my life.
