From Maxar: These WorldView-2 image of the port area that was collected at approximately 11:46 AM Beirut time. Today’s imagery clearly shows the power of the explosion with a large crater visible at the primary blast location, extensive destruction throughout the area and a capsized passenger ship (the ORIENT QUEEN) nearby.
