Explosion Port of Beirut

The explosion was so strong it seems to have caused a small tanker called the Amadeo II to have been propelled from the water onto the quayside, hopefully there wasn’t anyone on the boat when it happened.

Initially I thought maybe it was on the quay intentionally for some kind of dry docking before it was severely damaged, lifted out with cranes, but if you see the before and after image where it has landed was a warehouse before, I think it was berthed right next to where the big crater is and forced out the water by the explosion.
