Daylight Wednesday exposed the complete devastation wrought by a colossal explosion in Beirut — Lebanon's capital — less than 24 hours earlier.
Aerial video showed the city ravaged — large buildings flattened and debris-covered streets lined with crushed cars.
At least 100 people were killed and 4,000 more were injured, George Kettana, secretary-general of the Lebanese Red Cross, told LBCI, a local broadcaster, on Wednesday. The numbers were likely to rise as hospitals were packed and rescue workers continued to dig through the rubble.
