Here's a more terrifying video of the Beirut explosion
On Wednesday, Aug. 5, Venezuelan news outfit Conflicts News Worldwide (CNW) releases a phone video of the Beirut explosion that killed at least 145 people and resulted in over 5,000 injured.
The video was taken by an unknown jet ski driver that was near the explosion when it first happened. Compared to other leaked videos about the huge blast, the jet ski driver video was taken with a closer camera shot. It was taken at the exact time of the explosion.

In the video, it seemed that the driver already had an idea of what's going on as his voice sounds panicked. After a second, the huge explosion was seen and heard.
The unidentified driver obviously panicked and immediately dive into the water, maybe to be safe from any other blasts or debris.
After a sound of water splashing, the driver immediately went back to his jet ski and continues capturing what happened on the explosion.
According to Reddit, the man speaking on the video was saying something about a person called Salma. It seems like he's warning Salma to come quickly to him.
"Damn, salma (her name is salma) salma jump jump!! F***!! Salma [inaudible sound] come come. Come quickly," said on the video.
In Reddit, almost all comments describe how terrifying was the video.
Beirut explosion: How it happen?
On Tuesday, Aug. 4, the world was shocked when the Beirut explosion occurred. Tech Times reported that the main blame on the incident refers to the 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate stored in a warehouse near the port.
Lebanese Prime Minister Hassan Diab was the one that confirmed this theory. The New York Times also released a report saying that the chemical said to be the reason for the explosion was meant to be shipped in Mozambique.
However, the Russian businessman that owned it abandoned the shipments in the port. Due to this, the call for transferring all hazardous chemicals in the port are now requesting to be rechecked.
"In view of the serious danger posed by keeping this shipment in the warehouses in an inappropriate climate," Shafik Marei, the director of Lebanese customs, wrote in May 2016, "we repeat our request to demand the maritime agency to re-export the materials immediately."
As of now, the Beirut aid is now pouring for all the victims of the huge blast.
