A BBC interview caught the moment a huge explosion rocked Lebanon's capital city Beirut – throwing a journalist across a room as she screams in terror.
More than 100 people have been killed and a further 4,000 injured in the deadly blast, thought to be caused by stored chemicals in a warehouse on Tuesday.
In the clip from the interview, BBC News Arabic journalist Maryam Toumi is speaking to her interviewee, Faisal Al-Aseel, project manager at the Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy, when there is a loud thud.
She pauses speaking for a second and looks around, when suddenly a deafening shockwave tears through her building and knocks her to the ground.
