Breaking: Part Of The Beirut Port Silos Just Collapsed (Video)

Part of the northern wheat silos in the port of Beirut just collapsed.

A fire has been ongoing for a couple of weeks , reported the residues of the wheat. When the 961News team went on-site last week to grab exclusive footage , the fire was still blazing at a manageble rate.

The following day, the fire engulfed the northern side in a less controllable manner - forcing a decision to try and put off the fire .

The 961News team, when inquired about a potential collapse, were told that the silos withstood the explosion, the biggest non-nuclear explosion in recorded history and that the foundation was deep enough to keep the structure mostly intact. This is despite reports that parts will collapse .

This comes just days away from the 2nd anniversary of the Beirut Blast .

Directions were issued last week for the public to prepare and take certain measures should the silos collapse and release potentially toxic chemicals back into the air - you can read it here.
