Beirut: Further part of grain silos collapses 2 years after blast
The northern part of the grain vaults damaged in a massive 2020 explosion in Beirut has collapsed.
The other two fell in late July and early August – about two years after the explosion in the dock on 4 August 2020, which killed more than 200 people.
Officials said the fermenting, rotting grain caught fire in the summer heat, sparking fires in the slow-burning cellars for weeks.
No injuries were reported in this most recent crash.
