Shock waves continue five years on from Port of Beirut explosion

It is five years since a fire ignited a storage warehouse in the port of Beirut, causing a massive explosion in the Lebanese capital.

With shock-waves equivalent to a 3.3 magnitude earthquake, the port was pulverised and the death toll is believed to be at least 221.

The political and personal shock-waves continue to this day, but there is renewed hope for justice after the resumption of a judicial investigation into the blast.
