A bride in Beirut poses for photographs moments before a massive explosion ripped through the city’s port and surrounding areas, killing at least 100 people and injuring 4,000. In the video, filmed by Mahmoud Nakib, the bride can be seen running away from the scene with those around her after the blast. The deadly explosion has been blamed on thousands of tonnes of the chemical ammonium nitrate, which had been lying unsecured in a warehouse since 2014
