Beirut explosion: Dramatic drone footage shows devastated city 1 week on

Drone footage on Thursday showed countless destroyed buildings, hundreds of shattered windows and a still smouldering Beirut port area.

Buildings close to the impact area took the full force of the blast, including Saint George's Hospital and electricity supplier Electricite du Liban's headquarters building.

The Aug. 4 explosions killed at least 172 people, injured thousands and left many without habitable homes in a shattered city.

Causes of these initial blasts are not yet known, but President Michel Aoun has said investigators would also look into the possibility of "external interference" such as a bomb, as well as negligence or an accident as causes.
