Updates on Beirut explosion; Deaf men describe impact

The explosion in Beirut, Lebanon has killed at least 100 people. It is very possible that the explosion was caused by 2,750 tons of a chemical called ammonium nitrate that was stored at a warehouse for several years. The Lebanese government said there would be an investigation. President Donald Trump said it could have been a bomb attack. 

There was a vlog by two Deaf Lebanese men who explained their experience with the explosion that was widely shared.

The video itself is almost 9 minutes and they explained their feelings, what they saw, and short footage of the effect of the explosions. They also mentioned about hospitals needing blood donations. The link to the video is in this transcript. 

Our hearts go out to the people of Lebanon during this time. There are many countries who have promised to send help.
