BBC journalist sent flying live on air by Beirut explosion
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2020
- THE horrifying moment a massive blast ripped through Beirut yesterday was captured in a live BBC broadcast as the journalist was sent flying.
A colossal explosion a fifth the size of the Hiroshima nuclear bomb killed at least 100 people in the Lebanese capital.
The disaster was sparked when a welder ignited 2,700 tons of explosive chemicals in the port area, it’s reported.
BBC News Arabic journalist Maryam Toumi was in the middle of a video interview when the devastating blast rocked the city.
An ominous rumbling sound can be heard as she stands up looking terrified.
The camera is then knocked to the floor as the massive explosion hits and her interviewees watch in horror.
Ms Toumi can be heard screaming as broken glass scatters across the floor and an alarm starts sounding.
After a tense few moments, the reporter turns the camera around and picks herself up off the floor, seemingly unharmed.
Thousands were injured in the disaster, with the death toll expected to skyrocket.
Shocking pictures show flattened buildings, walking wounded, and a sea of rubble in the wake of the catastrophe which could be heard 110 miles away in Cyprus.

Internet connection in Beirut is bullet proof
Actually Shock-proof
Actually fire proof
@@nightcrawler2126 Actually, the shock wave is what killed people and destroyed structures. The fire had nothing to do with all of the destruction.
@@shoppe8865 Also, wtf!?
😂
Never play poker with this dude.
Nav just chillin
lol
😂✔️
HAHAHA
You joker
in my opinion he looked shock af. y'all know people dont have to scream to loud and hold their hand infront of their faces when they're shocked or being very confused not knowing whats going on.
Seriously, it needs to be so goddamn sensationalized for people to like... approve
Trueee
Especially "man" don't have to scream loud and in panic wich is pointless anyway. Screaming doesn't make anything better😂
My friend said if i won't have 1k before the end of the week. Can we do it?
That’s exactly how I’d react. No noise at first, confused and shocked, analyzing the situation.
0:27 One hand on your chest indicates concern.
0:49 Two hands on your chest means twice the concern.
what about two hands + two legs on chest
@@rex_schd that means your flexible af
Big Brain Time! 🤣
@@rex_schd That means you're very serious about aiming your next fart
@@rex_schdthat is the semi missionary position
The man was confused, and probably in shock. Stop making him look bad, there is delay so that’s why he was smiling at first
and why would you smile if there's a delay? delay is friggin annoying
@@friedchicken1 are you on some drugs??? Do you even know what delay means??
@@Amir_97 by his username im gonna say yes , well like i can say much
Yes shock definitely
He was saying i think it's an earthquake
The guy said while turning the camera "I think it's an earthquake"
thanks for the translation. The med is a seismically active area, and large explosions liek that do register on the richter scale.
My arabic language skills are non-existent. Have a good day.
Ha yeah cos when you're in Beirut and there's a loud noise, the earth shakes then your window blows in it's probably an earthquake eh?
@@antonrudenham3259 She was about two miles away. The rumble you could see was the blast, then the pressure wave hit a couple seconds later.
@@jeanettewest , 2 seconds later - that's about 1 km away not two miles. the shock wave moves at some 1.x Mach, the quake moves several
times faster through the ground

I know, I was being sarcastic.
Mom (hears moans) : What are you watching?
Me (I'll calmy state the facts): There's this Lebanese woman...
Mom: Disgusting

She might have misunderstood it for lesbian

too late bro 😢
Do some people not realising he was only smiling because theres delay
No. He's evil. BWA-HA-HA-HAAA.
he looked like: yes die journalist
Ya people jump to the worst conclusions. People are just dumb!!!!
Alex Munalula which causes delay lol
He looks like he has zero personality. 🥴
im not sure what everyone is talking about , to me his face is simply saying " what the f........just happened" ,....totally normal in my opinion .
He was in morocco and she was in lebanon, he did not understand what is going on...he said : oh god in low voice..
Nah there’s a delay in seconds before something happens. So when he saw the girl in trouble is when he put on a serious face.
It was very normal but society nowadays is very very sickkk
People are used to seeing youtubers fake reacting that they think everyone must react like them when something happens.
@@ViralVideos20398 What's that even supposed to mean?

And the internet connection stayed up the entire time. Frontier could learn a thing or two from Beirut ISPs.
I hadn't thought about that! They were fortunate that they could still scan the area with the camera just in case she was incapacitated.

if you tune in after the blast and hear her moan like that, you would be confused too.

Dude on the left is chill af.
The chick sounds like shes gettin licked out
@@crazygazz maybe it happend😂😂😂
@@crazygazz thanks for lightening the mood. lmao
Was probably his bomb.
Damm you guys
That man was just confused initially. Some people don't start shouting or get hyper in panic situation. Some do remain calm
Last thing you need in any situation that is high pressure or serious is someone shouting and screaming. Countless times I have had to jump in to help someone and make people calm down before they cause a chain reaction
I mean why would he shout. He ain't in danger himself. Besides if he goes crazy how would he study the situation. People these days make me sick af.
Had a brother pass away recently. When I heard the tragic news from my mother, all I could say was "are you serious" while in total shock.
This is me
bruh its cuz he has delay
This happened 9 months ago????? Man it's still so fresh in my memory. Time flies like crazzy
Well it’s been a year now
@@shin_a more than a year now*
Its 2191 now. I can't believe I born 200 years after this
Well now there is another civil war so that’s great

- Woman moaning
(9 months later)
- Apocalyptic baby
Half way through, it sounds like a porno...
I see why everyone said they should have worn earphones/headphones 😂
Thank goodness this woman was okay though
His reaction was normal, what's everyone joking about? Utter confusion and disbelief on his face, that's what it looks like.
@@moonpotatoes7452 He's shocked... Of course you'd react differently in his shoes. People react in different ways.

@@picklesmcgubbins5860 Screw you for your logical thinking! Get outa here!
It's funny how now because of so many people defending the guy, i can't even see the ones who originally talked bad about him
Same me too
Since there's so many people defending him, some of the hate comments where either deleted by the user who posted it or got burried cuz of the comment flood
they were making jokes about it dont take it personally and u cant prob see them now because theirs no oldest comment option
Im digging for those comments so I can bully them
It is a form of like baiting to defend someone no one is criticizing. It is a very common phenomena; eg "Stop accusing ambulances of speeding, they save lifes."
Sounds like she was having a blast 😂
That poor man and his wife on live with her while this happened is awful. Their faces are just so worried...this is heartbreaking
people are making this man out to be terrible.
How rude.

Notice how the building's foundation shakes before the air blast hits.
Sound travels faster through rock than air.

I'm sorry for her.. but what the heck, Im watching it with my volume on max, didn't expect her to let out a sound like moan, I hope your okay now..
So sad so sorry for this lady to have to go through that shocking, terrible.
Yeah it must be scarring...
@Truck Driver side effects wow so edgy you got the whole comment section laughing 😐
FINALLY a normal comment
Lol what? Why were BBC journalists even there in Lebanon with offices. They don’t believe anything bad will happen to them in a Muslim country, they think it’s so peaceful. Even the journalists believe the lies they tell the public. Her ignorance and all of BBC’s ignorance has consequences, with more to come.
A second - worse - explosion very soon after this one. She possibly didn't survive. This is horrific beyond words.

The girl went flying.
The guy: Hmmm.... Interesting...
He kept her under observation, which was appropriate and important. They rang her phone. She grabbed it and then put it down. There was a second, bigger blast very soon after this one. These two people were possibly the last ones to see her alive. They did nothing wrong, and they've suffered a terrible trauma, so you don't need to judge them.
Hey Beirut, who's your internet service provider? I want that.
maybe the Journalist has military grade internet for warzone reporting, we don't know.

James had thoroughly prepared himself to interview someone from Beirut.
lol
It’s as if it’s common for this guy to see the people he’s communicating with get blown up.
That's actually sad when you think about it. I don't wish that desensitization on any society.
Well he IS middle eastern... too soon?
John White yeah give it a few weeks
He's like: (checks watch) oh it's Weds already, oh... I have to get my laundry.
Thank goodness i have earphones on 🤫
Me watching this with the family gathered in the living room. Also me scrambling to find the volume down button while the family looks at me awkwardly.
The man clearly was very concerned and was trying to make sense of what just happened he showed to the girl next to him cause he didn't know what to do ..not everyone will react like ur favorite Hollywood movie hero... so stop making assumptions u will probably react worse then them all ..the girl is fine that's what matters and i hope she is not suffering of any trauma/ptsd
Your phone would probably react like Hollywood movie hero...
exactly my thought, I see people piling on him like if he were a bad guy! he's in another country, he took literally few seconds to make sense of what was happening to her, after that he looked clearly concerned, and looks like he asked his colleague or assistant to call her! As for why he was smiling it's because he was on a TV interview.
What idiots who talk crap about that man.
*1.* he was clearly stunned, didn't know what to do or say;
*2.* it would have made zero difference if he had reacted in a different way, what could he do?
*3.* I bet Muricans would complain why he didn't say a word, why didn't he describe what we are seeing?
Any kind of sudden loud noise might trigger her PTSD. Poor lady
